281. Urthboy on A Tribe Called Quest 'The Low End Theory' (1991)

281. Urthboy on A Tribe Called Quest 'The Low End Theory' (1991)

This week I chat to frontman of The Herd, co founder of Elefant Traks record label, manager and solo artist Urthboy (aka Tim Levinson) about A Tribe Called Quest's 'The Low End Theory'. We discuss how A Tribe Called Quest was political in a different way than other hip-hop artists of their era, how their sampling of jazz helped them cross generational lines and how your ability to appreciate contemporary music falters as you get older.
Tim opens up about how the album educated him about issues not being discussed in school and why he has referenced and sampled elements of the album in his own music.
