>1. Where would you place Low End Theory all time?

It is currently ranked #13 of all-time in the Handbook link in my sig.
Sandwiched between Aquemini and Illadelph Halflife.
The 12 albums preceding it are Aquemini, Like Water for Chocolate, Liquid Swords,
ATLiens, Blowout Comb, It Takes a Nation of Millions..., Dark Twisted Fantasy,
The Extinction Agenda, Ironman, Madvillainy, Illmatic and Enter the Wu-Tang.

>2. What is your favorite song on the album?

"Buggin' Out" or "Rap Promoter". I love "Buggin Out" freestyles though so I'll let the beat win that debate.

>3. Is it truly better than Midnight Marauders?

Kind of easily, IMO, but then Low End Theory hit me at just the right time, when I was antsy to dive headfirst into the deep end of hip-hop after re-discovering my love of Wu-Tang and Jay-Z, becoming obsessed with Clipse, T.I. and Lil' Wayne in the early/mid-2000s. Tribe provided gateway into a whole other side of hip-hop, where it could still be hard but it could be fun, and Low End Theory was the perfect snack-sized sort of comfort food for that period.

Compared to Low End Theory, blasphemous as it is to say, Midnight Marauders has always been a bit of an afterthought to me...an afterthought ranked #69 out of 1,137 albums, but still.
