#basshistory #analysis #hiphop #atcq #transcriptions #grooves #paulthompson #FromtheBottom returns to break down one of my favorite albums, the iconic sophomore release from A Tribe Called Quest: 1991's THE LOW END THEORY. I'll do a deep dive with transcriptions, play-throughs, and some analysis of each bassline. We'll also find out where these samples came from and who the original bassist was. I'll top it off with some easter eggs you might not know about the record along with some trivia regarding it's creation. From Jaco Pastorius to Ron Carter to Sam Jones--this album is a bass treasure waiting to be discovered!
