Midnight Marauders - A Tribe Called QuestI just recently bought this album so maybe I'm still in the honeymoon period, but I knew songs like "Award Tour" and "Electric Relaxation" for a long time and I still think they have a very fresh and live sound to them.

The beats are funky, and the rhymes are playful, although it sounds darker to me than The Low End Theory, which has to be in my top ten albums to listen to. The interplay of jazzy samples, funky bass, and thumping boom bap drums makes the album just enjoyable to listen to, and the rhyming is absolutely top notch. The two songs I mentioned above are excellent and some other great ones are:
