This week I chat to frontman of The Herd, co founder of Elefant
Traks record label, manager and solo artist Urthboy (aka Tim
Levinson) about A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘The Low End Theory’. We
discuss how A Tribe Called Quest was political in a different way
than other hip-hop artists of their era, how their sampling of jazz
helped them cross generational lines and how your ability to
appreciate contemporary music falters as you get older.
Tim opens up about how the album educated him about issues not
being discussed in school and why he has referenced and sampled
elements of the album in his own music.
