{"product_id":"a-tribe-called-quest-midnight-marauders-vinyl","title":"A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders  (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThird and last of the \"classic\" Tribe records (preceding the addition of Jay Dee and the formation of \"the Ummah\" production team), MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS is not as groundbreaking as PEOPLE'S INSTINCTIVE TRAVELS or as consistently on-point as LOW END THEORY. However, it is arguably the group's most musically sophisticated album. The tracks balance jazz, soul, and even reggae influences with pure hip-hop to arrive at a completely distinctive Tribe sound, the logical evolution of the bop-inflected hooks which characterized LOW END THEORY.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction-wise, Tribe graduates from a cool school aesthetic to an electric jazz sound (reminiscent of fusion-era Miles Davis). Lyrically MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS finds the group's abstract poetics in excellent form as usual, and Phife is miles ahead of the \"mayor-flavor\" rhymes of \"Can I Kick It.\" As per the title, the album develops the introspection of \"After Hours\" into a nocturnal feel which winds it's way through \"Midnight,\" the party-rock of \"We Can Get Down,\" \"Clap Your Hands\" and the complex layers of \"God Lives Through.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Tribe Called Quest: Jonathan \"Q-Tip\" Davis, Malik \"Phife-Dawg\" Taylor (rap vocals); Ali Shaheed Muhammad (turntables).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Large Professor, Trugoy, Busta Rhymes, Raphael Wiggins.\u003cbr\u003eProducers: A Tribe Called Quest, Skeff Anselm, Large Professor.\u003cbr\u003eEngineers: Bob Power, A Tribe Called Quest, Tim Latham.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Battery Studios, Platinum Island, Matermix and Sorcerer Sound, New York, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip-Hop\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Midnight Marauders Tour Guide\u003cbr\u003eA2 Steve Biko (Stir It Up)\u003cbr\u003eA3 Award Tour\u003cbr\u003eA4 8 Million Stories\u003cbr\u003eA5 Sucka Nigga\u003cbr\u003eA6 Midnight\u003cbr\u003eA7 We Can Get Down\u003cbr\u003eB1 Electric Relaxation\u003cbr\u003eB2 Clap Your Hands\u003cbr\u003eB3 Oh My God\u003cbr\u003eB4 Keep It Rollin'\u003cbr\u003eB5 The Chase, Part II\u003cbr\u003eB6 Lyrics To Go\u003cbr\u003eB7 God Lives Through\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097600176387,"sku":"IQV85X-QJ48-00","price":23.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/a-tribe-called-quest-midnight-marauders-vinyl","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
