The Low End Theory is easily my favorite Tribe record. I've had it bumpin' in the car the past few weeks - but what I discovered is that "Vibes and Stuff" is now my favorite cut on that album. It also contains Phife's best verse on the record - I just love the way he comes in "I don't know what to say, but here I go freakin'". And of course what of my favorite lines of all time "Party animal I was, but now I chill at home/all I do is write rhymes, eat, drink, shit, bone". Righteous.

I recently started following actor/director Michael Rappaport on Twitter.  As some of you know, he has just launched a documentary called Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest.  A doc he shot about the bands origin, break up and eventual reunion.  Can't wait to see it.  On Twitter, he asked "when did you first hear ATCQ?".  For me, it was 1991.  The Low End Theory had just come out and I heard the cut "Check the Rhime".  I immediately went out and bought the album.  Been a fan since, in fact - just bought a Low End Theory t-shirt last week.  Can't wait for the film.
