A Tribe Called Quest | Midnight Marauders | Vinyl LP

Kostet ja fast die CD schon so viel

„Midnight Marauders“ (1993) stellte den Erfindungsreichtum der New Yorker Conscious-Rap-Pioniere von A Tribe Called Quest nach den ersten beiden LPs erneut unter Beweis. Und zwar mit entlegenen Jazz-Samples, innovativem Wortwitz und einer gesellschaftspolitischen Botschaft an die Rap-Community. „Midnight Marauders“ demonstrierte, dass moderner Rap tatsächlich „8 Million Stories“ zu erzählen hat.

The album received mostly positive reviews from critics upon release. In the following years, Midnight Marauders has acquired further acclamation from within the hip hop community for its production, chemistry and influence, with some regarding it as the group's best work, and one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Several writers have credited it as a contributor to a "second golden age" of hip hop in the mid-1990s, as well as the pinnacle of the Native Tongues movement. In 2020, it was ranked at number 201 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
