I remember discovering A Tribe Called Quest's "Low End Theory" album while in elementary school. A few skateboarder friends who were cooler than me in every way listened to these tunes alongside Nirvana's "Nevermind." The collaborative, give-and-take, call-and-response energies of "Scenario," in particular, moved me to memorize as many of the lyrics as I could manage. Another friend, Anthony, and I would walk home from school attempting to hand off verses like Tribe + their buddies did on that track. Thanks to MTV, MC Hammer and others, I had already been paying attention, but this is when I feel in love with Hip Hop. So here's a piece using the same color scheme from the Low End album, with maybe some of the same rhythms.
