haha well hmm... Actually i do dig midnight marauders more then let.
its got "Award Tour", "Sucka Nigga", and my personal favorite, "Electric Relaxation" for that song alone it shits on LET. I just think the production and the lyrics were better on Midnight. Tribe really brought there sound to the next level on that album. Still great albums though.

Low End was CLOSE to perfection...

Midnight Marauders WAS perfection.

if i had to take one to a desert island or some ish...i'd take marauders.

I aways felt that M.M. was an extension of Low End Theory. They minimalized their production style after People Instinctive Travels...and gained alot of admirers w/ the change. M.M. seemed to be a part 2 to L.E.T.

I've always felt that Low End Theory was better chill out music. Except for a couple tracks (Scenario, Show Business) most tracks had a relaxing vibe. Midnight Marauders worked better to throw on while working or messing around the house. If I had to say one I'd definitely say Midnight Marauders, but probably cause of the emotional attachment I have to it. It's too close to call. I'd even argue that their first LP is on par with both these albums...

The day that LET dropped me and my dudes went and listened to that shit while smoking blunts in my boys basement and, when "Scenario" was done, we were shellshocked. My one dude who was like the clown of the crew was like "Yeah that was dope but I wanna hear THIS" and he put on "Symphony Part 2" and me and the other dudes looked at each other like "This kid is a herb."

But yeah, Low End Theory. MM is THAT SHIT but LET really made things happen for me in my mind and set that shit ina certain direction. By the time MM came out I was already hustling and DJing pretty regularly in clubs and so it was a DIFFERENT feeling. Like banging broads to "Electric Relaxation" and all, then going out and hitting the hot summer Philly nights like "Who's WORLD IS THIS?" MM is all that, but LET is the music of my youth... meaning that shit just brings me back to a more innocent time I guess.

Bonus Beat props to PITITPOFAR for being the album that was playing while I was with the 3rd girl I did it with. That was dooope. Much better than the 2nd girl I did it with (music: DANZIG) or the first girl (music: West Coast Rap All Stars "We're All In The Same Gang".)

Cosmo

Ahahhh, you know I'm drunk now....

[MC Hammer]

Kickin on the ave 'bout a quarter to 9

All the homies gettin blind in an eight ball line

Now on this tip they started runnin at the lip

Jumped in their deuce and took a little trip

Hit the block about 12 on the tick

The windows went down and the nines went click

People started yellin, bodies started bailin

Bullets cold flyin sendin some to hell and

It's gotta stop, we don't need all the violence

Peace in the hood and a moment of silence

We got together not for ego or fame

We got involved cause we're all in the same gang


"Dont touch me!"

keithvanhorn

still can't get over how good electric relaxation is, but i think LET is better on the whole. i remember listening to it over and over again in my room, only songs that got skipped were "classic example of a date rap" and "everything is fair". the latter track was solid, but the sample in the chorus weirded me out.

Cosmo

It seems as though the experience of "WAITSG" left a more lasting impression on you than it sure did on me, my man.

Jimster

I think the lyrics are better on M.M:

"Lyrically I'm Mario Andretti on the Momo,
Ludicrously speedy or infectious with the slow-mo."

...but having grown up on "Check The Rhyme (Instrumental)" Looped forever, I prefer the tunes on L.E.T.

ermm...

L.E.T. because at the time, it moved things on sonically by stripping nearly everything away, without sounding samey.

Is there a TCQ reunion thing going on or did I dream it? Only, without the crap tunes they did at the end. I think Phiffe and Q had fallen out for the last set?
