Saw this back in the 90s on MTV while living in Guatemala, I was 13 years old, now I'm 35, still in Guatemala and still digging this song. 90s hip hop will always rule
It was a energy. It got into your ears, brains,feet and soul. You stepped into union square or Latin quarters....the beats got all over your clothes. Hip hop was fashion. Us men didn't wear sus clothing
Large Pro can be defined as a Top 10 Hip Hop Producer. edit: What sets him so apart from other grand masters like Pete Rock or J Dilla is his extreme positive energy and he is also extremely skilled on the mic. I love this man.
I been having this convo a lot recently, The 90's had the best sound and and all the MC's took pride in their lyrics. Not to take anything from the 80's but the 90's took it to another level.
@@lezlethal damn you actually chill wit people who recognize that???? YOU LUCKY!!!!!!!! I've been stuck in this gay ass state called Florida where hip-hop is almost non existent. SMH I CAN'T FUCKIN' STAND IT HERE.....but fuck it I hold it down wit the real hip-hop. Fuck these southerners down here, THEY ARE ALL MY VICTIMS FOR LIFE.
Serious legend, blessed to have grown up with tracks like this.... Never had a basement, never had a attic, only an apartment where I forever had static. 🥺🌀💓
The rapper Lord finesse looked up to In return lord finesse was the rapper who big l looked up to and crafted his style after The beauty of mc influcencing one another and in return we get legends
Lol back in 96 when this drop I use to listen to flow and voice tone only but without analysing the lyrics being a big Wu Tang fan I thought this was Inspectah Decks solo joint I was so excited. Then once the video drop. I was like wtf? But the song is mad dope. I definitely did my homework on large pro and main source shortly after. Extra p one of the best producers of all time
This shit went hard body in 96 on the underground scene like true quality I have nothing bad to say about Large Pro this nigga had always put out true hip hop of the highest degree accompanied with his signature beats and original rhyme. Large Pro is like Peter Rock great Producers who can actually rhyme and write their own shit not like P doody I mean P diddy
Hip-hop's legends and pioneers all saved their methods of rhyming within two books they all got interviewed for: *HOW TO RAP* and also *HOW TO RAP 2*. Pretty much everyone you can name was involved in making those books.
Escuchando los mejores clásicos desde Colombia y muy feliz de decir que con estos temas inicié el camino como amante de la cultura. Ya vendrán tiempos mejores. #2021
Llegué aquí para reconocer a una de las leyendas del Hip Hop, heredero de las enseñanzas de Paul C, Ced Gee hasta de Eric B. para conseguir su propio sonido, larga vida Large Prooo... mantén el movimiento consciente.
"And I'll concoct something ill for real Come into my laboratory where you can't stand still" Remember this from a Stretch tape from like 96 and it had the Marley Marl version of LA LA. Porn Theater Ushers used this in Me and Him (check that out and thank me later)
Hip Hop has so many JEWELS that some of them go unnoticed or forgotten about, until someone mentions them and Large Pro is one of those JEWELS. Just to reiterate on what everyone is saying, yes he is very underrated, and how can you be responsible for finding so many HOT KINGS and not be consider an intricate part of Hip Hop.
I remember when I saw this as a jit in the 90s on those music channels that only played the music no video and I thought Large Professor was just a artist before I knew he was a producer. I remember not being able to find it and waiting again until I heard it or seen the video on MTV... The days on 3 16s on a was a great time..
un tema clasico...en la era dorada del hip hop....donde toda creacion era exelente.....actualmente large pro sigue representando..jaja..con canas y todo..jaahaa
0:37 I like this line here "Put it through the S-950 then stretch it". Ive listened to some of the samples LP has used on some of his songs and the distortion that can come with using such equipment (with proper sampling) cannot be emulated by a computer or by a different method. (It's the method for producing real 90s-style hip-hop.) For instance, the song M.A.R.S. contains a sample off of the song "Pussyfooter" by Jackie Robinson. The strings sound completely different than the original Jackie Robinson record though.
This song is mainstream? That's surprising to me because the first time I heard of it was on a college radio station. That station was the only station playing this song. I think I remembered seeing the video though, but compared to most mainstream hip-hop videos at the time; it must've received limited play. I only saw the video once.
Curtis Pea It could have been mainstream...if given the proper push. People were anticipating The LP ever since Large Pro went on Tribe's Midnight Marauders album telling them to "buy the album when I drop it". He was getting some burn with this and "IJussWannaChill", leaving people thinking the album was finally gonna drop, and then....NOTHING. See, Silvia Rhone was running Elektra Records at the time, and if you didn't have P-Diddy-level Hit-potential, she wasn't fucking with you. Pete Rock was also going through the same thing, as she stood in the way of his InI project as well. Both albums wouldn't get officially released until early 2000.
Happy Bornday to the legend. If you want the essence of this beautiful culture we call Hip Hop, you've come to the right place. Large Pro forever! #HipHopForever
I can still smell & remember the vibe in 9-6 (helly hansens, Hilfiger cologne, wally boots & dark weed) when I watch this joint...long live boom bap hiphop from the 90's, the best era our music ever produced
this beats insane they had the instrumental on here i used to flow and write to it but they took it off im mad lol it was one of my favorite instrumentals to rhyme to
Great song. My father Gary King is the bass player for the melody. ✊🏾
Mad respect 🤍
Props to Pops!
pops is phunky
Ok...
Wow he's a G. I thought it was a sample 😮❤
Saw this back in the 90s on MTV while living in Guatemala, I was 13 years old, now I'm 35, still in Guatemala and still digging this song. 90s hip hop will always rule

Blesss
Respect, I'm form Mexico but I try to search for this kind of good stuff
@@путоелкелолеахд keep searching bro, hiphop is more than music 🙌
@@ImmortalHipHop290 yesssirrrr
There's no-one else that could be Nas's mentor. Respect real hiphop.
Unbeastable Nas says it in his last line of “made nas proud” , which was a song directed to J. Cole. I think that’s what he’s referring to.
It's a toss between LP and MC Serch
@Jonathan Soko I always heard Serch was a mentor, but fuck it it is what it is
Now y 5 seconds, i’m going to listen a Nas LP from 93 from enjoy music and “ analyze “ i’m 100% sure it’ll be a genius album
Hip Hop Don't Stop !!!
You just can't replicate that grimy, 1990s New York sound. The minute the beat drops it just screams New York........so distinctive, so good.
Shit, maybe you can’t but I can.
But for real this was a very unique time in music and I can appreciate that. Definitely inspires what I make today.
It was a energy. It got into your ears, brains,feet and soul. You stepped into union square or Latin quarters....the beats got all over your clothes. Hip hop was fashion. Us men didn't wear sus clothing

No doubt!! He's my second favorite behind Pete Rock!!
*5
Large pro can be in the top 5. Pete rock is my #1 favorite dilla is second havoc is third premo is fourth ans large pro is my fifth.
@@trentyates418 solid list
The Beatnuts are my favorite producers
I miss this 90's sound..best era so far.

So am I. This joint is sick like the virus!
Yes
Jan. 2021 checking in. It’s still dope and the pandemic still isn’t over.
I hear Nas, Premier, Pete Rock & others. Large P is a pioneer.
who cares just enjoy his flow
Wait a minute i think Large P is not better than Pete Rock ...🙆🏽♂️
@@tshegofatsosekhabi9085 he is saying that Pete was influenced by large p
Premo pete and large pro are my favorite beatmakers.
The live guy with glasses!! This shit still hot after 20plus years!! Queens stand up!! Respect and blessings to one of the illest areas in N.Y.!!
This shit was bumping in the old school lowered RWD Toyota Corolla 1.8s and Datsuns, back in the day.
Serious legend, blessed to have grown up with tracks like this....
Never had a basement, never had a attic, only an apartment where I forever had static. 🥺🌀💓
Underrated track, Large Pro sounding sharp as usual.
Live from Guatemala from zona 14
If you don't know this as a hip-hop head you might as well get some slapping
The rapper Lord finesse looked up to

Its such a shame to see that some mainstream influence has negatively affected the rating of this particular piece of Art.
Large Pro: Living Legend
1996 I'm hearing this so is my son so will my grand kids.Mad scientist beyond 2021 ETERNALLY.Happy holidays everyone.
I went looking for this album back in the day. I'm extra P! They kept bringing me master P. That's when hip hop started drifting away....
...
R E A what album?? this song was never on an album.
@@titsticklerthompson981 its on "the LP"
Bring the 90's back.....
Lol back in 96 when this drop I use to listen to flow and voice tone only but without analysing the lyrics being a big Wu Tang fan I thought this was Inspectah Decks solo joint I was so excited. Then once the video drop. I was like wtf? But the song is mad dope. I definitely did my homework on large pro and main source shortly after. Extra p one of the best producers of all time
Name another hip hop artist that has this high of skillet at producing and emceeing... I'll wait.......
Ok ok DJ Quik is an exception....
Dat bass line
Yeah this bassline is ill af...
Sampled from David Matthews' 1977 "Sandworms", from his Dune album. 90s hip hop REALLY knows how to source epic 70s disco and funk.
This shit went hard body in 96 on the underground scene like true quality I have nothing bad to say about Large Pro this nigga had always put out true hip hop of the highest degree accompanied with his signature beats and original rhyme.

How can a classic like this get dislikes?
There will always be dickheads to dislike anything...
Because this version suffers from horrible quality.
newbies
I like the quality. I feel like it adds a little flava.
It's youtube.
You look up 90s hip hop production, large pro is an example along with pete premo buckwild lord finesse havoc and sermon
Hip-hop's legends and pioneers all saved their methods of rhyming within two books they all got interviewed for: *HOW TO RAP* and also *HOW TO RAP 2*.

I remember him & MC Ren both had songs come out at the same time called Mad Scientist. Large Professor produced MC Ren's version, too.
Both versions are mad dope
Why this guy not considered as a great rapper is beyond me... great track
One of the craziest flips I’ve even heard, he sampled sandworms by David Mathews look it up
i miss the 90s.
Incredible flow and beat. They don't make them like this anymore
This is just.....I can listen to this track 24/7 for the next 50 years. Such a CLASSIC!
Nikola Saether for real I been banging this song for 21 years never got sick of it
I love how the third verse is the first verse

Eric B. Era una figura decorativa, quien produjo los primeros albumes de Rakim fue Marley Marl.Eric B. Lo único que hizo fue lavar dinero.
There were two songs called Mad Scientist, one by The Large Professor and the other by M.C. Ren. Both are dope .
The letter P in Extra P should stand Perfectionist.!
Large P is crazy thorough. Legend
Some people will never understand .
"Put it thru the S950 and stretch it" classic sampler + Sp1200
The large pro gave my homie props on a beat he made. Props from a legend
"And I'll concoct something ill for real
Come into my laboratory where you can't stand still"
Remember this from a Stretch tape from like 96 and it had the Marley Marl version of LA LA. Porn Theater Ushers used this in Me and Him (check that out and thank me later)
Great producer, equally great emcee
I'm 37, now I know what he was talking about 😁back in 96, I was like" what the hell is an s950 and what is all that fancy equipment 🤔😂
😆😆😆😆 That's funny!! Yeah the Akai S950/S900, MPC 60, SP1200, ASR 10, ASR X, MPC 2000XL, MV 8800, etc!! All great machines of their time!!
@@Sinosure classic pieces!!!
@@facksvillain2296 yes sir!!
37 too and remember recording this video back in `96 on Yo MTV Raps great times!
Nice sample from David Matthews - Sandworms.
SunbeamsSting method man and Redman used this sample also
SunbeamsSting from the Dune movies?
It's a "soundtrack" inspired by the Dune books, the David Lynch film came later.
This man is 1 of the most underrated MCs & producers in hiphop! Superb...
people sleep on large pro. saw him live around 2009 best set at hip hop kemp imo. just him and a dj, no hype man no breaks. dude is a machine.

Just to reiterate on what everyone is saying, yes he is very underrated, and how can you be responsible for finding so many HOT KINGS and not be consider an intricate part of Hip Hop.
its still the dopest beat song video ever still can't beat,
I sweat that 5 panel so hard!!! This beat is timeless 💪🔥👑
i still cant get enough of this song
Why is this not on Spotify damn it
The opening words say it all. NEW YORK CITY 1996... Definitely thee BEST TIME and BEST PLACE for hip hop... EVER.

This Is one those Tracks I come Back to every Now and Then Jam out To.. 95 Baby. Real Hip Hop Never Dies

96 was a tight year for hip hop. On both coasts..✌
He's always spit beautiful bars! Slick bars! That's Large Pro!
one of the most underrated lyricist ever
Large Up Big Professor
yea.. it was called "Maad Crew".. they sampled the beat from large pro and the hook came from KRs one on the (Return of the boom Bap) album
joder por fin lo encuentro con una calidad aceptable en el youtube!
Gracias por la subida man
Best producer on the mic
Classic right? This album was shelved for more than a decade. Make it make sense???????
Reminds me of Rakim "When I B on the Mic" the video, hip-hop gestures, and most important, the DJ Premier scratch sound
I can still smell & remember the vibe in 9-6 (helly hansens, Hilfiger cologne, wally boots & dark weed) when I watch this joint...long live boom bap hiphop from the 90's, the best era our music ever produced
I remember hearing this song back in the day In LA on the wake up show.
Nostalgic. Was dope then and still dope now
Dumile and Extra P - two sampling geniuses with one album in common.
This guy has to be one of the most underrated emcees in hip hop..
Don't mind me...just a hip hop head/aspiring rapper getting some much needed inspiration👍🏾
There's somethin I love about 90s New York hip hop. I can't tell what it is exactly, there's just somethin really special about it
I hope to be a rap legend like this someday.😊❤
Stay in school..dont do drugs..listen to large professor..real hip hop..greetings from india..
@tassimo12345 Its from an early album called THE LP that was never released back in the mid 90's but I think it was re-released last year.
playing this in my car out loud touring the city... new rap kids can't believe it when I pass by with the illest hip hop ever
Nothing happened yo. Are you not listening to it? It's still here. Enjoy!
LOOKING FOR THAT SAME RAIN JACKET AND CAP COMBO RIGHT NOW IN 2022!
¿Javier Ibarra cuanta historia y estilo puede llegar a tener?
love this track old boom bap time/dutch masters
& White owls. Lol
Grandes recuerdos !!
Iguales que escuchando beats de dive bajo la voz de Mucho...Echo es simple!
Large Pro always on that slick Word Play !
this beats insane they had the instrumental on here i used to flow and write to it but they took it off im mad lol it was one of my favorite instrumentals to rhyme to
classic!!
People dont know about Large Pro. He raised a generation of rappers. Probably my personal top 5 producers behind Primo, Rza, Diamond D, and Havoc.
