''The Low End Theory'' is the second album by American hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest. Released on September 24, 1991 through Jive Records, the album produced three singles: "Check the Rhime," "Jazz (We've Got)," and "Scenario." ==Conception== After A Tribe Called Quest's debut album, ''People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm'' (1990), Jarobi White left the group to study culinary art. Phife Dawg learned that he was diabetic a month after the album's release and after a discussion with fellow member Q-Tip, they agreed to increase his participation on their second album and to "step it up in general as a group."〔Cowie, Del F. (February 2008). "(A Tribe Called Quest - Verses From the Abstract )". ''Exclaim!''. Accessed December 28, 2008.〕 Q-Tip credited N.W.A's album ''Straight Outta Compton'' (1988) as an inspiration for the record.〔Rodriguez, Jayson (October 11, 2007). "(Lupe Fiasco Vs. A Tribe Called Quest: A 'Fiascogate' Timeline )". MTV. Accessed December 28, 2008.〕 The group hired double bassist Ron Carter on the track "Verses from the Abstract". Q-Tip stated, "We wanted that straight bass sound, and Ron Carter is one of the premier bassists of the century."〔Watrous, Peter (October 23, 1991). "(The Pop Life )". ''The New York Times''. Accessed November 11, 2008.〕 Carter agreed to record tracks on the condition that the group avoid profanity, to which Q-Tip assured they were addressing "real issues".〔Relic, Peter (March 17, 2008). "(More Uptown Conversation with Ron Carter )". ''Stop Smiling'' magazine. Accessed December 29, 2008.〕 When asked by critics and interviewers if he was afraid of a "sophomore jinx", Q-Tip responded by saying "'Sophomore jinx?' What the fuck is that, I'm going to make ''The Low End Theory''".〔Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest〕
