Second album The Low End Theory was, quite simply, the most consistent and flowing hip-hop album ever recorded, though the trio moved closer to their harder contemporaries on 1993's Midnight Marauders.
The Low End Theory had included several tracks with props to hip-hop friends, and A Tribe Called Quest cemented their support of the rap community with 1993's Midnight Marauders.

 A Tribe Called Quest: The Low End Theory ---Ink Blot Magazine
The group released The Low End Theory in 1991, marking a move to more bass-heavy beats, with samples from the Average White Band and Funkadelic, and a tighter lyrical approach.
As Q-Tip recites: "Women love the voice/brothers dig the lyrics/Quest the people's choice/we drive them for the spirit." Jazzy loops propelled by legendary jazz bassist Ron Carter, continued commentary on society and the music industry, and the emergence of metaphor-obsessed Phife from the shadows make this one of the all-time great hip-hop records.
While Phife hung in the background on Tribe's first album, he roars from the outset of Low End's second track, "Buggin' Out": "Yo, microphone check one two what is this/The five foot assassin with the ruffneck business/I float like gravity, never had a cavity/Got more rhymes than the Winans got family."
