Here we go yo! Charge up your batteries and strap on your New Balances because we are continuing our Quest with the Tribe! Today, we look at their legendary second album, 1991’s “The Low End Theory.” Fair warning: there is some heavy material covered in this episode including sexual assault and homophobia, but we also tackle some lighter subjects--like whether or not people eat cacciatore with a twist of lime, and how popular the Arsenio Hall show was. Find out what bugged Blake about “Buggin Out”, and Logan’s opinion on the great Q-Tip vs. MC Hammer feud of the early 90s. You on point?

More of That pulls out all the stops with this palate cleanser episode and gets deep into the notorious "worst album of all time" by The Shaggs, Philosophy of the World! Does it really deserve such a designation? What makes music bad anyway? Who exactly are parents, and should they force their children to make a record to fulfill a prophecy? These questions and more answered within. I cannot stress enough: this one is full of bits, goofs, drops, and general tomfoolery. There also might be alcohol involved. It's a long one (total shocker), but it's jam-packed with that good content, so stick around til the very end! Trust me. Our opening song is "Never Say Never Again" by More of That. You can listen to us on all major streaming platforms and on [Bandcamp.](http://moreofthat.bandcamp.com) Closing music includes Mr. T Experience, Dead Milkmen, and an original composition by Blake.

We have not won any awards, but maybe one day we can do an award tour! Today we keep it rollin' and wrap up our first series on A Tribe Called Quest by discussing their third album, 1993’s “Midnight Marauders.” Is it a better album than “The Low End Theory"? Which song would we cover from this album? Why is Blake wearing a giant Dr. Seuss hat!? Listen as we answer these questions and discuss all 8 million of Phife’s stories.
