There's not much that can be said that hasn't already about this particular track.
Taken from Main Source's seminal 1991 release on Wild Pitch, "Breaking Atoms" introduced the world to not only a hungry young MC named Nasty Nas but an innovative and layerd take on sampling and production.
Cited by many as one of the most under-rated yet ground-breaking groups Hip-Hop has produced Large Pro, K-Cut and Sir Scratch only released one proper studio album as a trio. Large Pro would leave the group shortly after "Breakin Atoms" and sign a solo deal with Geffen, while the remaining two would try and keep the Main Source name alive to no real avail.
"Live at the Barbeque" not only introduced us to Nas but also Akinyele, who in a couple of years time would have his debut album "Vagina Diner" produced entirely by Large Professor. Tragedy Khadafi's one time DJ Joe Fatal also makes an appearance killing it (on a side note, Joe Fatal dicoverd Ill Bill and produced his first ever 12" Dope Fiend).
A need no introduction type track, " Live at the Barbeque" stands alongside "The Symphony" and "Scenario" as one of the greatest posse cuts of all time.
Main Source-Live at the Barbeque ft. Nasty Nas, Akinyele and Joe Fatal.
What will be the last posse cut of the week? Check in tomorrow.
