Jerry Corbetta later went on to perform with the groups Wild Cherry (best known for their hit "Play That Funky Music"), and Disco Tex and the Sex-o-Lettes (best known for their hit "Get Dancin'"). Muhammad went on to found the R&B group Lucy Pearl and to also pursue a solo career. That number was an unlisted phone number at CBS Records, and would have dialed that number had a telephone been held up to the speaker as the song played. Q-Tip and Phife Dawg went on to pursue independent solo careers. The song includes the sound of a touch-tone telephone number being dialed. Following their final album, the group disbanded. The song "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" is notable because it contained a practical joke at the expense of CBS Records, which had just turned them down for a recording contract. The Low End Theory was followed by Midnight Marauders (1993), Beats, Rhymes and Life (1996) and The Love Movement (1998).

In addition, "West of Tomorrow" and "Myra Myra" were not hit singles, but received extensive airplay at the time of their release on album rock radio stations. It is considered one of the most important hip-hop albums to date. Other songs which charted on the Billboard Magazine top 100 singles charts were "Mother Nature's Wine" (1971), "Tongue in Cheek" (1971), and "Stars In Our Eyes" (1976). Though this album was critically acclaimed and lead to a strong fan following, their next album, The Low End Theory (1991) was a massive artistic success, appearing on several best of the year lists. They are best known for two songs, both of which hit the top 10 charts in the United States: "Green-Eyed Lady" in 1970, and "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" in 1975. They made their studio debut in 1990 with People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. The 1975 album Don't Call Us, We'll Call You was a re-release of their 1973 album I Got A Song, with one of the tracks on the earlier album replaced by the title track of the later album, which had become a hit single. Musically, the group helped pioneer the jazz-rap style (along with groups such as Gang Starr and De La Soul).

Sugarloaf released four albums:. Their lyrics focused on abstract and social issues such as the word "nigger", date rape and consumerism.
