“There aren’t very many albums that can rival the production of Breaking Atoms, the 1991 Main Source masterpiece. While there were plenty of ‘meh’ lyrical tracks on the album and the wider debut of Nasir Jones, Large Professor provided a back drop of beats that has set high standards for full length album production in hip hop. As the group’s front-man, Extra P was also the lead MC. He was sufficient on the microphone, but most of the attention had no choice but to be diverted to the unparallel drums and fantastic sampling. Main Source is the Professor’s second solo album and it showcases his production as well as his skills on the microphone. Would there be more of a balance or would the production once again reign so supreme that the emceeing is degraded down to a static?”
Overall Score: 60/100
