Midnight Marauders (Jive, 1993) by A Tribe Called Quest

Tribe's third album is fantastic; they're one of the only groups who put out three classic albums in a row (props to Run-D.M.C. and Outkast as well).  This album, though not at widely remembered as The Low End Theory, is just as good.  "Oh My God" is an excellent beat, and "Lyrics to Go" is absolutely amazing.  This is also an album that needs to be played from beginning to end.  It really is an experience listening to this album.  I think it's cool that the Wayans Bros. used "Electric Relaxation"  at the opening of their show too.
