Large Professor is a great interview, rapper & producer. Love his positivity. I knew about Large Professor early 1990s making trips to Flushing Queens, NY from Yonkers, NY to visit family. His work with Nas, Rakim, Kool G Rap & Cormega stand out for me.
Observation: Large Professor’s (for lack of a better term) problem was that he had pure intentions in a filthy industry. He wasn’t trying to “sign” or profit off the next man to come up, he wanted everyone to shine in their own right. Nas wanted him to executive produce “Illmatic” but he turned it down. He could have been one of those cats on some “yeah, I’ll EP it and I’ll produce the whole joint…” Instead he pulled in Q-Tip and Pete Rock while Nas reached out to DJ Premier and L.E.S. Large Pro’s name may not ring out the way it truly deserves to but to those that know, Holmes is nothing but a legend…
Two Years ago I saw Villain Park perform at the Garden Amp in Garden Grove here in Cali. They were sick, word up Mecca. I saw Rae, GZA, Canibus. It was dope. Shout out to Villain Park! They got that chopper flow down to the T!!
@@jameshayden2538 i know lol but thanks for those who maybe trying to search for it that is the actual title i was just on my internet short hand bs lol
Large Pro right. When I had no love in the suburbs I always got love in the inner city growing up. That’s what got me into hip hop. They dead ass gentrified the culture lol.
Exactly. Working At 1212 Studios.Or Uneek The Exotic.. They Have To Be A Tad Bit Younger Than Most of Us In The Comment Section.. My Questions Would Have Been Deeper Than Theirs.. But Good Interview Nevertheless
Was on another channel where a brotha asked which was the better group, Gangstarr or Pete Rock and CL Smooth? Love both groups but I'm a EPMD man myself. 🤔 With Large Pro, Primo, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, and L.E.S. doing production on Illmatic, I wonder why Erick Sermon never was put on production for "Illmatic"? Regardless, Large Professor produced two of my favorite tracks from "Illmatic" which are "Halftime" and "It Ain't Hard To Tell". Large Pro, Primo, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Erick Sermon, RZA, Da Beatminerz, and Havoc were all instrumental in the sound of the "Golden Era". Can't forget Common's "Resurrection Extra P. Remix". A CLASSIC by Large Professor! 🫡
2:07 You must've never attempted to cut overgrown grass. It's full of moisture and resistance. In terms of your analogy of machines v grass roots, if your grassroot methods are prolific and well watered and nurtured, not even big machines can cut you down without your time under extreme weather and pressure destroys the machines sheers. Those machine blades can't effectively get through the grass blades.
Im Only Here For The Live Guy With Glasses 👓 From Flushing!🌐 The Legendary Super Duper Producer The One & Only Large Professor!!! Much Luv &Respect, SALUTE ‼️ & Mathematics Is The Ultimate Bozo 🤡
Large Pro is Straight Queens NY OG Real Unc Energy wit Da hardest Snares n Drums to mix on melodies and to lace it proper Nigga Raps dat Real Shit anybody can vibe wit. Between him and Diamond D they da illest producers on Da Mic. Rakim is obvious but he mostly only self produce his shit
Mecca 🤦🏾♂️ Mr. Emotional 🙄 No, sir! You sound scorn!! You're not from FBA 🇺🇸 culture to understand that fashion is a major part of the hip-hop cultural uniform! So, it does matter how you look, dress, appear, and drive. Act as if you belong, like Math said! You don't look the part, because you aren't the part, my friend! Russell Simmons is hip-hop. He wore the culture on his sleeve! So, he doesn't have to "dress" the part!:Because he is the part!! 📣
get back to interview the producers lol how come we aint had LES or Hit-Boy up here man, shit Even the underground dudes, Can't let guys like KA pass with out getting them gems
Stop it Bro this man is so HipHop his slang is imprinted on da fact Bro lives this culture with unconditional love his success Beats, Lyrics and overall all legends respect his consistent contribution and diligent respectful attitude.
Here’s a guy whose whole career is based off working with Nas what else has he done ? Got the nerve in every interview talk about Nas because he has no accolades of his own math you a 🐀 too
@@dsg3053it ain’t generational what has large pro done musically in past 20 yrs he does more interviews talking about Nas then he does himself he ain’t done shit
@@ratio515I’m not hating large pro is a corn ball his career was made because of Nas simple nobody knows him other than working with Nas and he wants to critique what Nas does that’s why he’s sitting in a barber chair talking to the host who has a bald head
Wow even with the Internet ur knowledge is still so narrow-minded on a pioneering producer who really could stop now and still be ahead of others who u appear to worship. Nothing to prove for him but only still in it cause he love this genuinely. That alone puts many to shame regardless of wat u deem current success
1st! Math we need Kool G. Rap!!!
Big facts bro
Super facts
Appreciate this video b
Kool G gotta get his teeth right first.... I need Son fresh

On the money with that.
Extra P! I never heard him talk about Main Source! Why no one asking that! Listen to Breakin Atoms! Dope as hell!
Good point. I was waiting for the Breakin Atoms questions too.
It was so dope to hear him talk about Main Source! You're right. That album is fire front to back.
My favorite album all time.
Dope having The Mad Scientist Xtra P on the show.... HOFFA!!!

S/O Mecca for showing love to KingPen Slim… one of DC’s underrated goats 🐐 homie been putting in work for more than a decade. 💯
Money in the bank was one of the best posse cuts of all time. " I kick of size, 9 sneaker or boot stomp chumps to stumps and they remain minute."
While people want a Nas And Premo album I want a Large Pro and Nas album or Nas and Alchemist album 😫😫😤🙏🏽
Or Nas and Pete Rock..OOOR Nas and Havoc

He said the last s*** he did for him was on Stillmatic but I thought he did locomotive on life is good
@@bswift12 nah NO I.D produced it
