  • Main Source was an innovative, acclaimed Toronto and New York-based hip hop group comprising Toronto natives Sir Scratch, K-Cut, and Queens native Large Professor. Later, Mikey D (also a Queens native) replaced Large Professor. Their first album, Breaking Atoms, featured conscious MC tracks such as "Looking at the Front Door" and "A Friendly Game of Baseball" and "Watch Roger Do His Thing" as well as the first on-record appearance of Nas on "Live at the Barbeque", which also featured Joe Fatal and Akinyele. Because of business differences, the group broke up before their second album, tentatively entitled The Science could be released. However, Sir Scratch and K-Cut released a second album under the Main Source name, entitled Fuck What You Think, with new recruit Mikey D on vocals; however, the album was shelved due to inner conflicts between the record label and group management. Singer Madonna sampled the bassline from "What You Need", on Fuck What You Think, in the song "Human Nature" for her 1994 album, Bedtime Stories. Large Professor has gone on to be an instrumental producer for hip hop stars such as Eric B. & Rakim, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Nas, and Diamond D. He has released a Solo LP entitled First Class, and his shelved The LP has been widely bootlegged. K-Cut also produced for a wide range of hip hop artists including Big Pun, Maestro Fresh Wes, Fu-Schnickens, Queen Latifah and even NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. He also mentored another Toronto-based producer named Watts. Large Professor makes a reference to his falling out with Sir Scratch and K-Cut on A Tribe Called Quest's third album Midnight Marauders. On the track "Keep It Rollin'" he says, "I'm Uptown chillin, takin in this grand master Vic blend from the projects, the PJ's, fuck them two DJ's". Mikey D currently works with Hush Hip Hop Tours as a celebrity tour guide for its Queens tour.
  • Main Source (1989–1994) war eine Hip Hop Gruppe aus Toronto beziehungsweise aus New York City. Die Gruppe bestand ursprünglich aus den Mitgliedern Sir Scratch (Toronto), K-Cut (Toronto) und Large Professor (New York). Die Gruppe Main Source (auf Deutsch etwa "Informationsquelle") wurde 1989 von drei jungen Musikern gegründet. Ihr Debütalbum namens Breaking Atoms wurde 1991 veröffentlicht und erhielt gute Kritiken. Auf Breaking Atoms war der damals erst 18-jährige Rapper Nas zum ersten Mal in einem Song namens Live At The Barbeque zu hören. Die Gruppe löste sich im Jahr 1994 wegen finanzieller Differenzen auf. In diesem Jahr wurde dennoch ein zweites Album namens Fuck What You Think produziert, für das Large Professor gegen Mikey D ausgetauscht wurde. Nach der Trennung von Main Source gingen alle Mitglieder ihren eigenen Weg. Large Professor produziert bis heute Songs und arbeitete mit Szenegrößen wie Rakim, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Nas und Diamond D zusammen.
  • Main Source est un groupe de Hip-hop, qui a connu un certain succès au début des années 1990. Il est constitué de Sir Scratch et K-Cut, natifs de Toronto, ainsi que de Large Professor et Mikey D, originaires du Queens . Leur premier album Breaking Atoms a été particulièrement novateur, notamment dans ses paroles, et il comprend aussi la première apparition du jeune prodige Nas sur Live at the Barbeque. Le succès de cet album auprès de la critique n'empêchera pas le groupe de se séparer. Le nom Main Source sera conservé par la partie canadienne du groupe, Sir Scratch et K-Cut, lors de la sortie d'un second album Fuck What You Think, avec les paroles de Mikey D. Large Professor a lui suivi une carrière de producteur à succès, auprès d'Eric B. & Rakim, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Nas, ou encore Diamond D.
