Many say that Illmatic and 36 Chambers are the best east coast rap albums of all time, but Midnight Marauders, and Tribes second album, "The Low End Theory" are certainly up there. The way tip and phife flow over these addicitve beats is amazing. Where is Quest at now? According to Tip, he is quite the lady's man, and Phife is the same 5 footer he always was, but unfortunately his solo debut was lacking, both lyricaly and on the boards. But there is hope, as a Tribe reunion is being discussed. I still got hope, just listen to this classic album and you'll realize why Tribe was the most loved rap group during the 90's.

Midnight Marauders is one of my all-time favorite albums. I'd put it into my "Top Ten" list, or maybe even my "Top 5" list.

A complete classic.
