My friends over at LyricsToGo and Hip-Hop Is Read continue to dig in the crates and offer up the samples to my favorite A Tribe Called Quest album… Midnight Marauders.
I knew they had been working on this one for a while. I had originally planned on following up my Low End Theory set with this one, but when I heard they were gonna tackle it, I stepped aside.
This is a two disc post at 31 samples and includes all kinds of great soul and jazz joints that ATCQ have commonly used in their productions over the years.
Head on over to LyricsToGo or Hip-Hop Is Read to download this amazing collection. Read on for the tracklist…
