{"product_id":"a-tribe-called-quest-midnight-marauders-1","title":"A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders","description":"\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eReleased in November 1993, on the same day as \u003cem\u003eEnter The Wu-Tang\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDoggystyle\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMidnight Marauders\u003c\/em\u003e is the warmest record A Tribe Called Quest made and arguably the most perfectly built. Where \u003cem\u003eThe Low End Theory\u003c\/em\u003e was austere, this one is generous — more samples, more colour, a synthesised tour guide narrating between tracks like a museum audio guide for the album itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePhife Dawg is the star. \"Award Tour,\" \"Electric Relaxation\" and \"Oh My God\" all belong to him more than to Q-Tip, and the chemistry between the two has never been looser. Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Q-Tip's production leans on Kool \u0026amp; The Gang, Weather Report and Grady Tate without ever letting a loop overstay. \"Lyrics To Go\" and \"God Lives Through\" close the record with the two most hypnotic beats in the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cover — the grid of red-headphoned faces, dozens of them, from Chuck D to Kool Herc — is the other reason people own this record. It is a group photograph of a scene at the exact moment it was most sure of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47638172336290,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/Tribe-Midnight.jpg?v=1739680801","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/a-tribe-called-quest-midnight-marauders-1","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
