Music reviews of Breaking Atoms

Music Review: Classic!!!
Rating: 5 Stars

Few albums merit the title classic but "Breaking Atoms" does. From start to finish it is simply outstanding. There will probably never be another hip hop album like it. It truly stands in a class by itself. I bought the cassette single for "Looking At The Front Door" back in 1991. You can't even buy tapes anymore. Man, I'm getting old. Anyway shortly after that Main Source released one more album without Large Professor which didn't do too well. Without Extra P, it just wasn't the same. Shortly after that Wild Pitch Records folded and Main Source was hip hop history. Now this classic album has re-surfaced and it's back in print as it should be. I have the japanese version which has 9 bonus tracks. They are:
1. Just A Friendly Game of Baseball (Remix)
2. Fakin The Funk
3. Peace Is Not The Word To Play (Remix)
4. Just Hangin Out (Remix)
5. Bonafied Funk (with The Brand New Heavies)
6. Atom
7. Think
8. How My Man Went Down In The Game
9. Peace Is Not The Word To Play (12" Version)

All 9 bonus tracks are just as good as the main album tracks. The Remixes add a different touch to the already classic versions you already know. From what I understand, Fakin The Funk, Think, Atom and How My Man Went Down In The Game were supposed to be on the next Main Source album with Large Professor which we all know never happened. We still got some classic material and these tracks should have been included on the American reissue. After all, it's 17 years later. All true hip hop fans should have this album in their collection. Get It. Peace!

Description of Breaking Atoms

2008 reissue of the debut album from Main Source. It is widely thought of as a very influential album and it is notable for the debut of Hip Hop superstar Nas. It is also highly regarded thanks to the virtuoso production of frontman Large Professor, whose heavy, and original, use of sampling influenced Hip Hop producers for a good portion of the '90s. Nas makes his debut appearance on "Live at the Barbeque", which is also played in the background of "Genesis", the intro to his critically acclaimed album, Illmatic. Breaking Atoms is one of the most important records in the History of Hip Hop and also hard-to-find; it has been out of print in the United States since the demise of Wild Pitch Records in 1997.
