Who's the other 4 in your opinion?

​@@jasonburrs3142Madlib, Jaydee, Dre, Premier. Pharrell, Q-Tip, Metro Boomin, No I.D, RZA, Kanye, Havoc, The Alchemist, El-P some honourable mentions

Throw in Timbaland and Diddy there

@@eetu54 Diddy is NOT a producer. He is a beat thief.

One of the kings of remixes, period

Nas has anything to do with that. That's between Rock and the Label Columbia Records

Mecca and the Soul Brother was more solid as an album, but Main Ingredient had better beats. It seems to me that Pete Rock just got lazy and didn’t care to make a whole solid album unless it was solo, so a lot of the beats on The Main Ingredient sound like throwaway beats. The only ones that stick out to me are, In The House, I Get Physical, Caramel City, Take You There, and It’s On You. Everything else sounds like Pete didn’t really care about it. That’s just my opinion though.

​@bboy264 The Sun won't come out that's a crazy joint. That's one of my favorite albums brotha. Both albums are dope I wish they had one on the way in 1995-96. They should've had another album it's just a perfect classic hip-hop album in 1994. The problem is it wasn't pushed properly what do I know I was a kid at the time .

@@traviscarter1023 I wasn’t even born when that album was made but I compared it to other work by Pete Rock and it just doesn’t seem as solid as other stuff he’s worked on. Plus his beef with CL and how they split up right after the album just seems like he really half assed it. I hate Escape just because of how random the Ramsey Lewis sample is. E-40 did it justice with Hope I Don’t Go Back, but it seems lazy with Pete Rock. I love the album tho and I have that one on vinyl but there’s definitely a difference between that and their first. It’s only how I feel about it though.

@@Mar.Escobar24 Respect

@bboy264 Yeah we feel a little different but there is a difference between both albums. I use to smoke alot of we to the Main ingredients album and the song Escape and It's On You also Get On The Microphone . The Main ingredients is one of my favorite hip-hop albums along with Illmatic. The production on the album is some of the most pure sound you got the intro and outro. Instrumental going into songs. In The Flesh where do we begin with that song. But I respect your opinion because you are a real hip-hop head by the way .

The main piano loop is from Ahmad Jamal’s “I Love Music”

That beat is just a straight sample. Todays beatmakers typically make their compositions from scratch. Dont have to dog the current to big up the past

@@dantegood2195 That's cap because today's rap beats are also sampled too. Sampled or not, the rap beats that are currently out today are trash.

Allegedly? It actually happened. He got paid for the beat but didn’t get paid in royalties.

@@SoulOfTheSouth Yes, Allegedly! Because I didn’t read the contract! Did you????

If that did happen, that is not Nas’ fault, Nas is not the one who pays royalties, if this did happen then the label is to blame

@@alonzox5420 😂

@@KuraiCelestial No one said it was Nas fault. We all know the issues with Columbia records. Even Nas eventually cut ties

Not really time just flies

Some say brother Pete wanted all the money up front, didn’t care about later “Oh well” business is business!!!

It was... 94 bro lol

94 was a life time ago bruh

It was almost 30 years ago bro lol

He’s always been my fav. Only clowns laugh at that

didn't someone in the record company forgot to get Pete Rock his royalties?
