I enjoyed reading your review – but I think 7.5 is on the low side. Amazing record and nearly comprehensively brilliant. Here’s my own take on it if anyone cares: http://www.davepye.com/2008/11/wednesday-wadio-q-tips-wont-trade.htm

The other 2 reviews say it all. Remember that group Tony Toni Tone? The old lead singer, Rapheal Saadiq, is the man on We Fight/We Love.

If you think The Low End Theory was his last great release you obviously never listened to Midnight Marauders, or Beats, Rhymes, and Life.

This album is strong – You should try and dig up Q-Tip’s unreleased “Kamaal the Abstract.” It was “The Love Below” 3 years earlier and unreleased. Hit me up on my website if you want a copy.

agreed about won’t trade – great song. however you are mistaken in thinking that a female sang the chorus on “we fight/we love”. that was the one and only Raphael Saadiq! and getting up has been the song of the summer for me, easily one of the albums highlights.

Excuse me dude but this review is trash. This album is a classic!!!!!! You ain’t knowin’ Raphael Saadiq on “We fight/love” is not a woman, plus the song is great. Your helium comparison on “Official” is just bullshit. Plus Norah Jones rocks on one of the best song from the album. “I believe” ain’t sounding like OutKast at all, but like a dope “Beats, rhymes and life” song. You heard the album once and you made a weak review. While the album is an instant classic. Your review is really trash, so people buy the album and don’t believe no BS from no average critics!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace from France, The Renaissance!!!!!
