I guess this has been done before but all good, what is your personal fave ATCQ LP from the first three albums and also what is your fave track from your chosen best Tribe LP?
Most of my Friends say Low End Theory and I am not sure what mine is, I am listening to all 3 in a row right now...

I think Low End Theory is far superior to MM.
I wouldn't swear that either LET or PITPOR are better than each other. They were both important and groundbreaking records, imo. LET is probably my most listened to album of all time and I'm still not sick of most joints on it. I can't say enough good things about their first two albums, it's mad tough picking between them two.
However I like them both a lot more than MM. I'm not a big fan of Phife's rhyming on there, but everything else is great.
This is very hard for me. Tribe is my favorite group by far. If I was stranded on an island and could only have 10 albums with me, I'm pretty sure that all 3 of these would be on that list. That's a crazy comment now that I think about it, but it's true. It really just depends on my mood as to which album is the best. I used to always think it was Low End. Then there was a time that I swore it was MM. Nowadays I have been listening to Peoples Instinctive more than the other two, and the genius of that record has really broken through to me on a different level. Not that I didn't know how dope it was since it came out, but when Low End came out, it was so different and it just blew my mind. I would say that Low End has been my favorite for the most amount of time, but right now I'm going with Peoples. This is prob the 5th time we have discussed this since I been on this board and I'm pretty sure my answer has been different each time. lol
My favorite album is MM, but LET is a close second. My favorite track is We Can Get Down. It's too bad Mr Incognito did not make the album. That song is hypnotic!
I firmly believe there's 2 types of hip hop fans... People who prefer Midnight Marauders and people who prefer Low End Theory. (No disrespect to their other releases.) I happen to prefer Low End Theory... Great poll.
Goddammit. I really enjoy all three of these albums, and have rotated listening to one more than the others at different points in my life (Low End Theory was the soundtrack to the summer after high school, People's Instinctive Travels... got a lot of burn in college, etc.). They all have distinct vibes yet are all top-tier classic status, so it's challenging for me to pick just one...unpossible even.
I guess on most days I'd go with Midnight Marauders. It was the first Tribe album I'd ever heard and has my favorite rap song ever on it, so there's that. 8 Million Stories is really wack though.
I can easily find 50 rap albums that i like better than Low End Theory. It's cool and all but at the end of the day Native Tongues are a bunch of hippies.

This is just reactionary. History has proven you wrong.
Midnight Marauders - definition of a 5* album if there ever was one. Production & rhymes were just impeccable. (Love the two albums before as well though)

Let's not split hairs here. I dunno which divinity appeared to you guys one day telling you that ATCQ was the second coming of Jesus H. Christ. They're a cool rap group for sure, but they're not that great. Screw History.
