When we say bonified classic albums, this week's album is what we mean. We're talking about the sophomore release from A Tribe Called Quest, titled The Low End Theory. Following their successful debut in 1990, A Tribe stormed back on the scene in 1991 with an LP for the ages, with most production handled by member Q-Tip. The beats were darker, jazzier, and heavier on the bass. Not only were the beats leveled up, the lyrics were as well from rappers Q-Tip and Phife Dawg. Phife's presence was notably stronger on this project as opposed to their debut, showing not only his emergence in the group but as an mc in general.

We review the cult classic debut album from one of hip-hop's most celebrated characters, MF DOOM, titled Operation: Doomsday, released in 1999. Doom (formerly known as Zev Love X of KMD) reemerged after years of absence due to the untimely death of his brother DJ Sub Rock. After being screwed by the industry, this super rap villain returned to the scene exhibiting a metal mask and a new persona, with raps much darker and more complex than ever before.

This week, we review a dynamic album titled Breakin' Combs from artist Dred Scott, released in 1994. Dred not only handles rhyming duties but also the production, making him a literal one-man band. This was his only album ever released but his magnum opus remains a true underground classic.
