So glad to have the Main Ingredient talked about like this. It was a master piece. I think CL matched the production perfectly

@simon9146 Год назад

The Main Ingredient is one of the best produced albums of all-time .

I’m 24 and found “The Main Ingredient” when I was 18. EASILY one of the best albums I heard. I still put “Mecca and the Soul Brother” up there as well.

@MaSungoddess777 Год назад

@@mic9check The reason I say that bc the matrix doesn’t give them awards and do biographies on them and uplift them as they should bc they don’t want the youth of this day to know nothing about and go back to that vibe fo sho!!!! They should be talked about as much as the others that are agents for the demise of the people but I’m sure they are decent and have morals and standards and are independent creators and can think for themselves not ruled by the mighty dollar so that wouldn’t be a good look for the machine!!! BTW I’m listening to them right nigh!!!!😂😂🤣🤣

@alalefosio7958 Год назад

I like how snippets of beats got played in between songs on the 'main ingredient.' Always thought that was a game changer.

@fatheadbeatz36 Год назад

I used to have a dual cassette player and would loop those snippets into a longer beat on a blank tape. Then would write some rhymes to put over it. I couldn't get enough hip-hop in those days!

@robertjohnson7614 Год назад

Yes

@robertjohnson7614 Год назад

It was like Pete Rock was overloaded with bests he had make those dope snippets so that none of it would be wasted.

@tareefsmith9027 Год назад

The beat interludes changed the game. What Pete used and how he used it was crazy. He was doing things like taking a popular Billy Joel sample ("Just The Way You Are") and pairing it with a popular Bob James drum break ("Take Me to the Mardi Gras"). Unheard of at the time. The way he sampled Biz Markie and Big Daddy Kane's voices was unheard of as well. That album influenced so many producers and musicians.

For real CL is seriously underrated

@evandercaldwell9993 Год назад

@@MegaMarvelvsDC Absolutely!! Saw Pete Rock and CL Smooth live 10 years ago here in Switzerland and CL Smooth had the hardest flow, which I never anticipated from hearing his rapping-style on the albums! But live he rips the mic like you would never expect, he is one of the tightest Mc's I've ever seen, and I've seen most of 90's finest Mc's live (east to west)!!! The concert is still one of the best I've seen to this day! Of course Pete Rock was absolutely on point as well! You could see they wanted to rock the place and give it everything they got to share a dose of that Real Hip Hop! 😍 It was truly a Dream Come True for me, no accident that they are absolute legends and changed Hip Hop for ever! That concert was one of those moments where I truly could feel the essence of Hip Hop, that Hip Hop DNA!!

"Tell me" from main ingredient. Put that on right now - one of the illest, banging smoothest and hype joints on the planet.

@gaylordfocker7990 Год назад

Main Ingredient beats are on a whole nother level. CL rapped about more than just women, Talib is trippin. He just wasn't super hardcore gangster and that was refreshing.

@cooliegee Год назад

It would be interesting for Talib Kweli to follow up this interview with CL SMOOTH. It always refreshing to hear from the artist themselves to get an accurate factual account to what went down.

@manatarmsslaps Год назад

The crazy part about those two albums is that they wanted to make something like mecca on the second album but THE LABEL wanted them to make more of the smooth type of r&b type of album. This was said in a Pete Rock interview done over the last 2-3 years

@arthurwilson2964 Год назад

Pete Rock back at that time was an impeccable DJ he had the sckest scratch patterns i ever heard not only that his music selection was was enormous he would take classic records and make a sound that was light years ahead of its time which makes up for his original sound i quess why he's known as the son of marley marl!!

Love the Pete/ C.L. convo here, especially talking about Pete Rock's production. Main Ingredient is definitely my fav of the 2 albums. It was so polished and put together that it still sounds fresh today. Not from a stand point of what's being played today, but more like simply the sound of it. Always loved the little interludes in between songs main ingredient like the one j dilla re-did for Blackstar song "little brother".

@Beantown-ld1sg Год назад

Back up back up back up….Talib you are definitely one of my top MC’s and Just Blaze you’re a beast…..BUT! yall wrong on this one champ….the fact that producers like Main Ingredients and MC’s like Mecca and The Soul Brother. It’s not about MC’s or producers…it’s about the error you grew up in and the album’s that influence you to love thing we call Hip Hop. I guarantee if you ask MC’s and producers 51 and older which album was better most will say “Mecca and The Soul Brother”. Just like Tribe Called Quest…my generation will say Low End Theory was the best album and your generation will most like say Midnight Marauders. I could break it down deeper but that’s for another day. Check it…you need to ask that same questions to DJ Premier, Large Professor, DJ Scratch,45 Kings and your boy Diamond D.. Anyway…love your videos Keep it up 💪🏾

…I totally disagree with Mecca and the Soul Brother being an OK album… that shit is a classic from the beats to the lyrics in 92 that album was the top tier of NYC Hip Hop… the Main Ingredient is a classic in its own but MATSB is the goat of Pete Rock and CL smooth’s career… this is before illmatic/ 36 Chambers/ Enter da Stage… Cl was the the man

@MockeryManor Год назад

I have to agree. I understand what Just is saying from a song to song technical standpoint. But no one is going to tell me that, from a technical standpoint, there is ANY song on Main Ingredient better than For Pete’s Sake. The hip hop production planets aligned on that one beat. It has at least 10 different chopped samples in one song. And everything matches in terms of rhythm and harmony. And he did that with an SP1200, that did not have Flex Pitch on it. So he was able to match baselines, melodies, and harmonies from at least 6 different records. That song is beyond genius.

@jamesduckery Год назад

@@MockeryManor That song is my favorite and CL Smooth fit like a glove!

both are masterpieces...but Mecca and The Soul Brother is better!

@messiahblack2295 Год назад

Nah Main Ingredient is aight, but Mecca and The Soul Brotha was a defining piece for Pete Rock who showed never before seen chopping skills on MATSB.... I'mma keep it all the way fonky, I only remember two or three joints from the Main Ingredient bruh, ALL the joints on MATSB are classics! Look, Pete Rock is one of the faces on my Mt Rushmore of inspiration so I'm definitely not just a fan but a student...Bottom line, nothing moves a Pete Rock audience more than T.R.O.Y. if you've seen him live you'd know this....

Pete rock is talented contributor but he conflating facts and that makes him a lier carribean Brothers did not create an art form that is clearly black american.
