Pete Rock and CL Smooth-The Main Ingredient 20 Year Anniversary Appreciation Thread

[Newark88]

20 years later, this album holds up against anything that's out today. I actually love it more then I did back then.

You know, I use to put Mecca over Main Ingredient. Especially since Mecca was all I was listening to that Summer of 92, along with Daily Operation. But lately, MI has been resonating with me more. Still 2 classic albums tho.

 

[The Midnight Marauder]

Main Ingredient aged so much better. Smooth as hell.

 

[I love Latina women]

dap, + rep and 5 stars

I liked Main Ingredient more also, I guess people put Mecca & The Soul Brother over it because of TROY

when Main Ingredient came out I didn't think it was possible for me to like something more than Mecca... Main Ingredient is still in my rotation. I listen to that shyt once every week or two. One of my favorites

"Searching.....searching"

if you know about producing it's beyond ridiculous that Pete could make these albums on that sp12. just amazing.
