The Low End Theory

Dificil de poner nota, Hip Hop no es un estilo que me haya llamado la atencion.

Better than the other rap albums we've gotten so far, still not my thing though.

Can't do it. I recognize the lyrical effort but i cannot stand the underlying soft jazz beat music and the completely disconnected rap... there's no energy. Scenario is the only song that carries it.

Solid rap, but some of the usual macho and vaguely sexist overtones :/

Not my thing, but I respect the old sound.

Boring

My expectations were low and listening to it didn't change anything I mean I was excited for the jazzy vibe that Wikipedia said but it didn't feel jazz at all it was just jazz elements, ugh listening to a whole hip hop album is such a torture, no offence. repetitive beat just makes me bored I want jazz to remain melodic. Someone said they liked that the transactions were smooth? No shit the beat repeats so transactions are not much of a GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME move. However I gave it a chance and found some tracks catchy but I was like uhm some of these lyrics are bullshit and kinda problematic then I remembered that's a pass in hiphop industry so I didn't even conclude it in my scoring and I said no more paying attention to the lyrics but somehow it also ended up getting low despite me being the most optimistic user in here

One note and boring. Same beat through out and doesn't go anywhere. 1/5

I have a theory: this album definitely belongs at the low end

Hardcore, classic old school rap. I'm sure this is required listening in some circles... not mine. Pass.

Rap och inte särskilt kul. En etta.

Not the sort of music I like at all I’m afraid

So boring. Stuck it out for 4 tracks (or maybe it was just track 1 stuck on repeat - I really couldn’t tell). One star for the backing beats and occasional jazzy samples, but otherwise lost patience with it quickly. Hope we’ve seen the last of rap albums in this list…

dont like rap

This isn't music. Why is this on a list like this? Listened just to prove it dont like it.

No mi rollo

1 Niet om aan te horen. Klinkt als "de la soul". Hiphop is niet mijn ding. Album snel doorgespoeld.

Mdeh, not the best rap album to me.

Couldn’t listen to the whole album.

Not for me .

No va rap

Each track began with really interesting sounds but always resorted to the same rhythmic talk and lost the great early start

Shithop

I've not listened to them before

Bebop is not like hip hop 😉 Wasnt a big fan of the these songs. If there was one thing I liked, it was the duo approach to rap.

Para nada mi estilo

I don't do rap like this.

Just not working for me

Its as mono as Berts eyebrow. Sucked me dry by the end it was relentless with nothing redeeming to mention. I just dont particularly like rolling backdrops that go with rap like this. It makes it very dull to listen to. This sound just doesnt seem innovative at all and just old school rap.

nö

favs: jazz (we’ve got) skypager scenario rating 1/5

Not for me

meh

Boring

Don’t care for rap

one of the most boring albums in my life

Rap

Not for me

Every song is identical. If there weren't gaps between them I wouldn't be able to tell where one ended and the next began.

Hip Hop? Never!

2 - TERRIBLE

Nothing stood out to me lyrically or musically, not my cup of tea I guess.

Hip hop toujours pareil

Don’t like rap

Not my vibe too much. Pretty old school hip hop and rap.

Meh. Nothing remotely interesting on this at all.

Old school hip hop. Simple beats and rapping. In 2025. it sounds very naive.

Still not buying this style

Album Nr. 88 Nichts für meinen Geschmack. Wer die Kombination aus Jazz und Hip-Hop mag oder interessant findet, kann das Album jedoch bestimmt anhören.

I've never really listened to hip hop before 1001 albums. The bits I'd heard by chance weren't appealing so I'd not sought more to listen to. Listening to two hip hop albums in two days has confirmed that I've not been missing anything. Musically simple, I guess because it's more about the lyrics than the tune. My problem is that I come from the wrong time and place to interpret the lyrics in a meaningful way. Too many unknown words, possibly street slang, and the rest of the words spoken at pace in an accent that I don't find easy to understand. That makes it hard work to listen and get some sense from it. To me music shouldn't be hard work! So I'm sure it means something to some people, just not me.

Kjedelig 90-talls hiphop. Ble dessverre en inspirasjonskilde for mange... Det er jo faen meg samme jævla rytmen hele føkkings albumet!!

Nope

I was excited when I saw the band, a few had my head bumping that were funky but honestly was disappointed. Overall 1.8/5

Not a fan of the same beat over and over and over and over and over.

Not for me. 1.5/5

Ei. 1/5

No es mi tipo de Hip Hop

The only song that I liked was “Scenario”. Every other song was dull.

It's one of those again…

No me gusta en general el Hip Hop. Muy probablemente porque entiendo muy poco inglés cantado y menos cuando se canta en este estilo musical que hablan tan rápido y con tanta jerga. Entiendo que desde el lado musical también hubo una busqueda pero tampoco me ha llamado la atención.

Abysmal. Really and truly awful. Somehow “show business” comes out of this album, every other song is a painful listen from lyrics to melody to musical ability. 1 star

Turn it off yo Turn it off yo Pure garbage with no talent yo

No es mi tipo de música, un rap monótono, ninguna la agrego a mi lista

No opinion, don't like hip hop etc

Sorry I just don’t like rap. I’m sure they’re great.

i'm only at song 3 and it already feels like i listen to this for ages. gotta stop, i'm sorry.

Not my cup of tea

Did not like it at all

I don't like rap and hip-hop. When I listen to albums like this, I only think about ending it as soon as possible. It's monotonous and not interesting. 1 out of 10.

I liked the beats at the start … but by the time they”d looped through EVERY song I was very bored. Not for me.

rap... het is een muziekvorm... het is ook de snelheid waarmee ik op de fast forward knop duw

Sorry, I do not like rap/hip-hop, etc., and the start of this album hasn't convinced me otherwise! I am sure others may disagree - each to their own...

I can vibe to it but don't like it

It's hip hop. I rate it accordingly.

Your basic rap album. Nothing new to see here. Move along.

Either there's something I'm not getting or I just don't like this. It didn't click with me whatsoever. It's meant to be a jazzy rap album. But for me that just means it's simplistic, ridiculously boring and very very repetitive. I could barely tell any track apart. Isn't jazz meant to be interesting, melodic and full of variety? It never seems to get out of first gear. This is probably blasphemy to some, but I just don't click with hip-hop at all. A full album with such little variation is obviously too much for me. Didn't enjoy this at all and maybe it's harsh but I'm giving it 1 star. Very cool album cover though.

Просто нет

Not for me.

Second album de ce groupe, après "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm" qui avais échappé de peu à la note minimale. Malheureusement l'album commence mal. Le premier morceau, après quelques secondes de contrebasse encourageantes, tombe immédiatement dans tous les travers du hip-hop : dès que le chant rentre c'est comme d'habitude long, répétitif et ennuyeux. Même constat avec le second morceau. Le son de contrebasse est excellent, mais la boucle répétée à l'infini présente peu d'intérêt. Je ne suis pas allé au bout. =>1/5

No

Not my cup of tea

p665. 1991. 1 star. Hip-hop/rap. Every track sounds the same. Tedious beyond belief.

The Good: jazzy hip-hop The Bad: doesn’t age well The Ugly: annoying drum-machine I really wanted to like this, but the damn drum machine is getting on my nerves so badly, that I fear there’s a 1* rating heading towards the Tribe This has NOT aged well at all. Give me Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) and I will give it a 4*, but this… 1*

I do not like this style of music

Nope, not my thing!

I thought they had one good song.

No thanks. Too much going on.

Hip Hop & Rap leiern fast 45 min herunter. Irgendwie ist das für mich uninspirierend und irgend eine Art R&B nie mir überhaupt nicht gefällt. Ich werde dieses Album nicht vermissen.

Hard work. Not a massive amount of variety, sure this would make great background music for a hot day in the ghetto, but not great for a rainy day in the office. Somewhat tiresome, although a great snippet of influential early 90's music.

An album that not only features one of my least favourite music genres - Hip-Hop - but also combines another two music genres that I dislike into a new one - Jazz-Rap. It may be clever lyrically, but musically it's not for me.

Nope. Doesn’t speak to me

Bored from beginning to end.

No

Tedious!

"Go get yourself some toilet paper 'cause your lyrics is butt"! Aside from that amusing lyric, I didn't particularly care for this album.

Rap/hip hop

I’m beginning to think that there’s too much Hip Hop on this list for its own good. Don’t like it. Never will. End of. Have tried to explain why previously and getting tired of repeating myself. In future will give similar albums a straight 1/5 without comment. 1/5 29/5/24

I'm sorry, but I can't get into this music, if you can call it that. I like some of the jazzy sounds but the spoken 'singing', nope! I hardly understand anything and I have to say, I'm not interested in it either, it's not my world

Rap is a waste of listening time! I like the music but don't appreciate adding the words.

slow and boring

Not my vibe, didn’t finish the album

Hip Hop. 1/5

Not a fan of rap

it sounded very linear to me, not hills or slides, nor thrills or ridea

this feels cool and im just not cool, not for me im afraid

Le flow et le fond de batterie sont fortement similaires sur presque toutes les chansons, ce qui en devient trop répétitif.

I don't like rap music.

Not my thing. Every song except one sounded the same to the point where I listened to the first half a second time and didn't realize it....

yeahh i don't think hip-hop is much for me. i don't care about lyrics at all, the most imporant thing in a song for me is it having a memorable melody on the vocals. this album felt really linear and it sounded pretty much the same throughout the whole thing. - 1 add

Not my music

Just not my thing. Found the beats, lyrics, and music boring. 1

El Rap de los 90 es como el Reguetón ahora, una MIERDA!

Rap

Nooooo I couldn't hack the first song

nothing to catch the ear

Repetitive.

Rubbish

I cant fathom why this album is special enough to make it on a top 1001 list. its a genre... is it amazing? no. plus there is plenty of this genre here.

Absolutely terrible! Though it is impressive to make something to monotone and boring!

Hip hop

Not into rap

Nope

Het vorige album van deze gasten vond ik kennelijk nog wel aardig, maar hier is niet doorheen te komen. Alleen maar non-stop geouwehoer. De stukjes dat ze even hun smoel houden zijn een verademing, maar die zijn veel te kort. Halverwege afgezet, en zelfs dáár zat ik met smart naar uit te kijken.

This album does nothing for me. 99% of hip hop I can't stand. Don't like the rhythm, the sound or the lyrics.

As someone who isn't really interested in lyrics most of the time, there is very little on this album to take my attention. The music backing up the rap is token at best, with few interesting beats or attempts at supporting melodies. There is little structure in these tracks, it's mainly just rap verses without many choruses or other changes to the formula. The album has nearly the same tempo for every song as well. All of this combines for an album that is largely interchangeable tracks that fails to get my attention and disappoints when it does.

Not a rap fan

De har gjort 2 hyggliga låtar. Ingen av dem är med på detta album.

They start a beat then someone talks over the beat. Rinse and repeat. It's not offensive like gangster rap but it's boring and it's not music.

I like to think I like a lot of Rap but this just does nothing for me. Monotonous, drumbeat and occasional keyboard makes you concentrate on the lyrics but there's nothing of any interest. Day-to-day musings and worries of someone I have no interest in. I know it's not 'cool' to not like this but I don't like it. Leave it to the hipsters.

Nope

In die tijd inventief. Jazz-rap maar dan beter dan al die andere. Muzikaal. Maar niet mijn ding.

Nooooooo

Never had a cavity? Wow inspirational lyrics. Excited to hear about choice of batteries. Very repetitive. Lyrics are inane or unintelligible. Beats are ok but just slow. Sick of it now

A packed lunch of shit sandwiches and jizz. A banana too for nutrition.

I'm just not into hip-hop..

Very 90's rap. Boring and irritating.

Disco de RAP

Oooootro de hiphop... No no puedo

Nah.

basta!

This hip hop album was not very interesting to me. It's to much rap in there I had to follow while working.

Not Nice

Junk

Not for me

This is a jazz/hiphop gem! Must listen.
