Synopsis

Album Description
But that's the thing. No one's ever been really "done" with the rapper and producer. And with Main Source, LP has enlisted legendary emcees Jeru the Damaja, Lil' Dap, Big Noyd, Styles P, AZ and more to flesh out his vision. No skits. No songs based around dances. No forced collaborations sprung from the mind of an overeager and clueless A&R. Just Beats. Rhymes. And Life. The songs on Main Source have been brewing for more than two years, but LP has never been one to rush a product if it's not perfect, preferring to wait until all the ingredients are right before serving. And he knows something about waiting. In 1995, the producer recorded his debut album The LP, only to see Geffen permanently shelve the record due to classic "label politics." (The album would eventually be released by the artist himself in 2002.) Also in 2002, Nas, Q-Tip, Akinyele and Busta Rhymes contributed to LP's sophomore album 1st Class. All the while, though, the in-demand producer continued to lend his sound to like-minded peers.

What You Need Is The Source
The Genius | 10/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Large Professor has never been the most lyrical dude out, but hes still able to make dope music. From Breaking Atoms to now i have always heard people say they cant stand his rapping. Well if you are one of the people that like it this is perfect for you. Large Pro fans already know what to expect simple and fun rhyming that is enjoyable and ill beats that well blow your eardrums. This is probably my favorite produced albums of the year, all the beats knock they are very catchy and good for the summer. Marco Polo the Canadian hip hop producer also come though and produces one joint called Hardcore Hip Hop. Other then that im sure the rest are dope by Pro himself. Jeru The Damaja, Big Noyd and Lil Dap all come out and get their own track to rap on which i thought was strange but its all good. I have not heard Lil Dap and Jeru rap since the days when they were with DJ Premier so it was interesting to hear. The only compliant for this album i could think of is you dont like Large Pros lyrics, well i do so this album is in the running for top albums of 2008. Get it

Large Pro, Goes Full Out On This Jam

"Thank God for small wonders. After Large Professors mediocre last Full legnth, 1ST CLASS, you'd wonder if the man behind MAIN SOURCE could handle his biz again. Well after many a beat/mix/mash of samples and loops, Extra P set a course for A++ material and great guest work on his new album so righteously titled, "MAIN SOURCE". This album has it all, great beats, great lyrics, good overall tone, and the usual cadence the is Large Professor.
