...come on let's picture the possibility...
If Large Pro never did anything other than produce Main Source's "Live at the Barbeque," thus introducing the world to a teenage rap phenomenon known as Nasty Nas, his place in the hip hop pantheon would be secure. But of course he's done much more than that, taking young Mr. Jones under his wing throughout the Illmatic recording process, and going on to blaze his own trail as a super-producer and emcee extraordinaire in his own right.
We asked Large Professor to sit down for 5 Under 5. Watch as LP breaks down the meaning behind his name, bigs up his mentors in the rap game, explains what drew him to work with Nas, gives his true thoughts on how the sound of hip hop has changed over the years, and reveals why he had to let the graf game go.
