      That album was ahead of it's time. MECCA is a classic and was a product of it's time though T.R.O.Y is timeless but the production on The Main Ingredient was more advanced,lush and sounded like it came out during the late 90s although it was released in 1994.

      As classic as The Main Ingredient was/is, the most slept on part of the whole Cd to me were the interludes between each song! Pete Rock choices were the perfect fit/choices for this duo musically leading into the next song, and also fit their musical personalities.

    “Be like water” amazing to hear that Bruce Lee concept from the deep and spiritual being with the stage name “CL Smooth”. “Mecca...” and “The Main Ingredient” has been part o my COVID-19 survival strategy. Sway thanks for another incredible interview with another legendary artist. I’m a Pfunk and jazz dude at heart but the hip hop I enjoy has the language of both musical art forms, and CL still carries that spirit when he talks about his grandfather, beautiful! ❤️🖤💚🙏🏾👍🏾🤘🏾

    I'm a hip hop junkie, the 90s was my youth and I LOVED Pete rock and CL smooth. Being a dark skin sister I TRULY appreciated CL smooth when he gave praises to the chocolate sistas. On that song lots of loving cl greatest bar was when he said(, woman of a darker breed, umm you got what I need). Before that line most of the rap records that I heard when they referred to a woman they always quots redbone women. So it was very refreshing to finally hear a brother show some love for the dark skin sistas and in that video for lots of loving a chocolate sista was the main chick.

    CL smooth and Pete Rock is the sound track to my young adult life . And I want hear more and I longed for them to grow with us hip hop fans
    I looked around and they were gone. It felt like loosing a old Friend. But I guess I don't no what happened. Some time people need to grow in there own spaces. Take me from a boy to men (or girl to lady) like cL smooth said in the song. I can respect that we all got to go on our own journey. Still and always a fan for ever young or old I rock with cL smooth & Pete Rock to the end.

    A legend indeed. This is why I so desperately wish I came up during the golden age era. Nothing but the best in all formats. The music, movies and TV. CL hasn't aged a day. 51 looking 24 when he and Pete dropped _MATSB_ all those years ago. Gang Starr, EPMD, Eric B. and Rakim, CL Smooth and Pete Rock and Mobb Deep are among my list of the greatest hip hop duos of all time. I'm 23 and that is all I ever spin are the GOATs.
