Large Professor Instrumentals b/w Count Bass D - 2006 Some Music Pt. 2

Large Professor hearkens back to the era where (like Posdnuos said on "Rock Co.Kane Flow") the producer's name didnt need to be said on the track. "It Aint Hard To Tell" is a classic and 8 out of 10 people that go crazy when this song drops dont know who made the beat. Why? Because Large Professor never had a trademark or a signature sound, he just stayed humble and hit you over the head all through the 90's without getting the props garnered to Pete Rock and DJ Premier. He was the only guest producer on a Tribe album ("Keep It Rollin'" from Midnight Marauders) before they bought Dilla into the fray with the formation of The Ummah. If you've never heard Main Source's Breakin' Atoms, I feel sorry for your soul. He's been fresh on the beats and rhymes since a youngin (reportedly maybe even producing a majority of Eric B & Rakim's early masterpieces). Anyone trying their hands at making a difference behind the beats and rhymes simulteaneously owes a world of homage to this man.

Count Bass D has never neglected to mention the influence that the Extra P has had on his career as a MC/producer. A close friend of MF Doom, Count is one of the most talented yet least recognized producers doing it. I wont start controversy, but the way Madlib's biggest followers are about him is how I am about this man. This was a Japanese import project released over a year ago that most of the world hasnt been blessed enough to hear.

Good looking out on those Large Pro instrumentals. Didn't he produce Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em for Rakim too?
