      The tracks he ended up finishing for Paul Cee after his demise for Rakim's "Let The Rhythm Hit Em" album was dope as well as his own beats he supplied on the album.
      Ra and Large Pro need to do a whole album together.

    We need at least 2 hours to really delve into the career catalog of Large Professor and understand his significance to hip-hop. While I appreciate you Kweli and the brothas giving him love and reciting his lyrics (and the lovefest is well warranted......trust me, I get it), I felt like those moments disrupted the flow of the interview.
    I say this, respectfully, as a fan of the podcast. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed the interview! I just wished I was able to learn more about his catalog.

First, the way that I feel, being a child of hip hop who came up living and embracing representing the culture in everything that I did in life... this interview has me in my feels 🎉. To see brothers of Extra P's caliber - hip hop royalty almost seems cliche - get his flowers 💐 is truly beautiful - AND important!!! And... Talib's interviews represent US telling OUR stories!!! US... you get it!?!? Because, as time progresses... hip hop - like other aspects of our experience - has struggled with being white-washed... sanitized... altered. But, through efforts like this... 'nuff said 🎉.

    @gregorynailingjr6703 Рік тому +2

    Plus... one last thing that I want hip hop headz of EVERY generation to realize... Take your favorite emcees - whoever they may be. Just know that they were inspired by someone. That are standing on someone's shoulders who inspired them. So there REALLY is no viable debate on who is the best because it ALL is from the "pool of black genius" that Donny Hathaway so eloquently ... expressed. That is NOT a slight against all of the others who were right there when hip hop was bubbling because Extra P is saying... it was all love... all family. But, to be clear - there is a THROUGHLINE - that connects all of US... all of our culture... all of our music... all of our existence. And it is a beautiful thing to behold ❤. Thank you to everyone involved with this platform Talib. It matters and I love it. I watch it with my children - then start teaching them by watching UA-cam videos of the music being discussed 😊.

    Shout out to Xtra P, Queens Royalty. his verse on the Organized Konfusion Stress Remix hit me hard. Especially when I was riding the 7 on my way to Bowne.
    "Now ain't nothing deeper than having to throw a nigga in the sleeper
    For stress, and take that shit from Large Profess
    Cause I be on the train trying to maintain
    Getting lowered in the hole while the record man gain
    And it make me want to sting somebody with the shottie
    Cause I can't relate to living less than great
    So while I make a fat beat to eat
    Some of my mans from John Bowne High School is sleeping in the street"
