The Low End Theory was followed by the equally strong Midnight Marauders (1993), while Beats, Rhymes and Life (1996) and The Love Movement (1998) failed to measure up to their earlier work.
Recently, there have been rumors of a reunion between the trio, ignited by a spate of group concert appearances around the US, but their most recent appearance was a post-Grammy concert in 2005 and there has been little news of an upcoming album, leading some to believe that the rumors may be unfounded.

I think Ali Shaheed Muhammed did a great job at letting folks know that there is more out there than just old school samples these rappers can buy, rhyme over and call a hit...he's got original music that makes ya move your feet and nod to the beat...
Ali easily takes the forefront as a lyricist and singer(who KNEW?!?!)--two skills he obviously had up his sleeve for a long time and wasn't revealing until the time was right...and for real y'all...the time is NOW.

 BallerStatus.net Reviews || Ali Shaheed Muhammad: Shaheedullah & Stereotypes
Ali and A Tribe Called Quest were the leaders in a revolution that added jazz flavor to hip-hop, with laid-back instrumentation and melodic beats.
Ali tries to make his album about the lyrics as well as the beats, but the impressive production just doesn't make up for his lackluster rhyming skills.
Ali, who is Muslim, uses Arabic sounding samples for "Social Reform," but unfortunately those sounds shortly turn into a computer manipulated voice - failing to mesh well with the track.

Known for his work behind the boards, Ali Shaheed steps behind the mic in a major role for the first time in his career, delivering a thoughtful and refreshing seventeen track narrative that stimulates the mind and establishes Muhammad as much more than just another “rapping producer”.
Ali Shaheed Muhammed: The only challenges I really found was when I was talking to different companies about putting the project out and because I have never been tested as a solo artist they were kind of unsure on how to move forward.
ASM: Shaheedullah means The Witness Of God and the name is more of a reference to me, it is where my middle name Shaheed comes from.

 Being There
The good news is that, judged purely on their own merits, both records are good (and in some spots great)—far better than anyone should reasonably expect for a genre whose artists tend to have a short shelf life.
Muhammad’s Shaheedullah is the weaker of the two, though nothing for the first-time solo artist to be ashamed of.
Muhammad’s turntable work is staggeringly dexterous, especially on the excellent “Tight,” where the intricately rhythmic mixing and scratching is positively hypnotic.

Last year, Q-Tip, Phife and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, those pilgrims of minimal jazz-infused beats, rhymes and life, verified rumours of a reunion of their revered golden-era outfit, A Tribe Called Quest.
From Q-Tip's clubby image redux of 99's Amplified to Phife's underexposed Ventilation: Da LP and DJ/producer Ali Shaheed's watery neo-soul supergroup Lucy Pearl albums of 2000, it was clear that A Tribe divided against itself could not stand.
Shaheed is thinking about Shaheedullah And Stereotypes, a record featuring Chip-Fu of the Fu-Schnickens, Stokely of Mint Condition, and members of his family, which finds the producer doing something he's never done before.

” This ominous proclamation opens Ali Shaheed Muhammad’s first genuine solo album since the lamented demise of his original group, A Tribe Called Quest (and the somewhat dubious breakup of his next act, RandB supergroup Lucy Pearl).
Appropriate, as the quest for absolute truth is the recurring theme that binds the 17 tracks on this sprawling epic that invokes the best of his storied past and lays a nice path for the future.
We prefer to focus on the fact that Ali Shaheed Muhammad has assembled an album that’s both entertaining and relevant, which in hip-hop these days is kind of saying a lot.

Since the demise of the revered A Tribe Called Quest, Ali Shaheed has ploughed the organic rap-soul furrow beloved of ageing b-boys, first with supergroup Lucy Pearl, now solo.
As producer he's cooked up an album of warm, seductive grooves, strong melodies and basslines as comforting as a lover's embrace.
Sadly, as executive producer he's enlisted some seriously average vocalists, with Sy Smith - who regards a song as something to be tickled, not grasped - the worst.

Four-times Grammy nominated – he has worked with Angie Stone and D'Angelo among others – Muhammad is a producer and songwriter with a palette that goes way beyond the boom-bap of the average rap track.
Now 33, Muhammad seems to have lost none of his playful way with rhythm, often allowing tracks to slip slightly behind the beat as he mixes together live instrumentation and computer loops.
Traore's sharp, keening voice and fluid guitar lines put one in mind of a younger, grittier Ali Farka Toure, while the up-tempo numbers mix the flavours of Chicago's Southside and the village compound, the syncopated lute-picking sparking on honking harmonica and Traore's filthy-toned guitar.
