-----
In this clip, Large Professor talked about producing for other artists and discussed the making of Illmatic at length. Large Professor recounted the lead up to Nas dropping Illmatic from signing his deal to recording with some of the most legendary producers to the album title itself. Large Professor, who acted as de facto executive producer said he knew the album was a classic but that wasn't reflected in album sales early on because the project was bootlegged. He said he thinks it was an inside job because people had the actual demo from the record company.

"Bulletholes left in my peepholes, I'm suited up in street clothes, hand me a nine and I'll defeat foes."-Nasty Nas
To me NY state of mind is one of the ten greatest tracks of all time.
Mad descriptive literally painting pictures with words
That song puts me in NY, NY no matter where I'm at. And I've never been to NYC.
Just waiting for the Nas beat picking question.
lord havmercy you sure cause I got a feeling he may but then again you may be right though
6 out of the 8 parts gonna be about nas
Nas got a good ear for beats to fit his lyricism. If the beats outweigh the rhymes he wouldn’t be considered a great
@@MultiBillionHeir ??? so he purposely picks shit beats so they dont over shadow his rhymes?????
capcussa that’s your interpretation of what I said .. but apparently he did something right if he’s still winning after 20 + years of rhyming
Large Professor seems like such a cool, nice, humble dude.
Vlad wants that Nas interview so bad. Buuuut, it ain't gon happen
Nas aint feeling him
It could if Vlad comes correct
Nas would welcome the challenge of making Vlad see from HIS point of view as far as why he picks Certain Beats
Nas ain't salty or Sensitive
Nas a billionaire now lol vladcaint getting it
Def1neVerse it may
"Saw My Close Friends Shot Flatline Am I Sane? That Depends Carry Mac 10's To Practice My Aim"~Nas Is Like.......
On rooftops, tape CD covers and trees line the barrel up wit yo weak picture then squeeze...
To the big dogs living large, taking it light
Pushing big toys, getting nice, enjoying your life
is what you make it, suicide, few try to take it
Belt tied around they neck in jail cells naked
Heaven and hell, rap legend, presence is felt
And of course N-A-S are the letters that spell
I got the skills to eat a nigga ass like Almody Joy..Me and my Thunn boys - Nas
Except he never carried weapons lmao
@@benoneill4805 yes he did...
Large Professor seems like a standup dude.
Large pro's flow was ill back in the late 80s
That profile pic made me laugh
@@marcgreen1503 it is still ill.
Early 90's too especially. I remember my brother got the cassette tape Breaking Atoms. Joint was dope. Artist were ahead of their time back in those days. Professor was only like 17 on that album.
@Marc Green Large made an album in '08 and had a few songs with ill flows and he had a few sic beats too. Hell, I stole one of em for my own mixtape😁
TK Kirkland: I made sure nas was safe during those years....
The police chief at the time was under my payroll, so I made sure he had police escort
😂😭
Lol
😂😂😂😂
😆🤣
Professor is an example of a humble legend. He gives props to everyone and shares whatever credit Vlad gives him.
Nas
The new gen praise Tupac , Nas, Biggie....but never heard of dudes like Large Pro. Do the knowledge on the greats like him and I promise you'll be rewarded with pure gems.
My man!!!👍🏾
Lol word!!!
Producers and rappers are 2 different things.
Its like a car, when you see a cool new model you praise the actual car but not the builders, designers, engineers and lawyers that were able to put the whole thing together.
Behind the scenes people never get recognition, thats just the way the world works.
@@joecool9739 - I'm sure Dr. Dre is glad that ain't true. Large Pro wasn't just a producer he was a rapper, he was the architect and the product.
@@georgedepalma429
Dr. Dre isnt a behind the scenes person.
I helped Nas write Ether at his baby mama Carmen house in 1997 - TK Kirkland
😂
Lol
😂
😆🤣 best one so far
He always talk good about people. I never heard him talk negative.
I'm lovin all the young Nas questions. Illmatic was a huge influnce on me as a rapper

The Trinity: DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and Large Professor (Extra P)!!!👍🏾

Dilla?

Nas was a thinker very calculated whether you like it or not, so the reason why Nas was loved and respected is simply because Nas used his head instead of his ego to survive the rap game and his environment.
Large Professor exudes patience and knowledge. He’s my type of dude. Real and intelligent.
LP is authentic. That era that he and Nas are from were hard, like he said they're made out of steel from it, but it created very real, solid and genuine people. The Wu are another great example of this. RZA, GZA, ODB, Rae, Ghost, Meth. All of them.
Absolutely, back in those days you couldn't fake who you were and what you were about
This dude talks like a 90s New Yorker!
It is what it is, duke
Gogo Louie That’s that authentic NYC shit
Gogo Louie I respect it
He's mannerisms and speech are straight up NYC 90s Hip Hop head. Even more than some rappers. It's just strange that I see a older guy talking like that. I guess he isn't changing with the times.
@@gogolouie7768 He doesnt have to, he is rich.
He’s the kind of dude where if I saw him, I’d like him to know how I appreciate his contributions to HipHop.
True I got the opportunity to do that at a party here in Brooklyn in like ‘08. Q Tip was DJing and LP was standing on the side of the dance floor. I walked over to him just to say I thought he was a legend but he was looking at me like “Who the hell is this big azz dude and why is he walking up to me?”
It was pretty funny…to me at least
Yo y’all gotta stop these TK Kirkland comments 😂🤣
LP is a real og of hiphop. A perfect example of a man that had a huge contribution to rap but is humble and still supportin the culture. You can tell this man loves hip hop for real!!!
I’m from East London I remember meeting Large Pro at a club on a trip to NY in 04/05 Very cool dude
It was his birthday yesterday, happy bday large pro, u da 1
Vlad gonna interview every Nas & Jay associate he can lol... can’t front these stories are nostalgic & dope....
especially when they're the real stories from the main collaborators - not just people who were around
@@vladtv You should interview Nature then... got mad Nas stories people never heard.
@@oldaxehead655 For Real!
@@vladtv big facts,I go back to hip hops birth so I can co sign a lot of shit
djvlad Can you get Cormega? Top often forgotten
Should have been large pro not Kanye to do a whole album with nas.
Large professor seem so humble
Large Professor sounds so Nu Yawk that I be you anything he has Timbs on...he was dropping the story telling sound effects(click clack,lol)...that's how we all talk out here in the Big Apple 🍎...salute to him
Large Pro Is So NYC
His nickname should be Sony because he's so NY
This the cool uncle that don’t wear sandals at the bbq.

TK wears UGGs and his pants backwards so the zipper's in the back.
Met Professor on 34th in the concourse....he looked surprised. Some of my favorite joints that got me into good Hip hop for real, was created by this man. That shit was so random and def a cool moment...
I love they way NY people talk 😂😂
Nas said who you think kicking the door waiving the four four was for (the biggie line) was directed at him
Loving this interview. Need more
He want's to interview Nas so bad.
Yes he does😂😂😂 Nas is alot of peoples favourite rapper
I’ve been to a party where Large Pro was spinning 45s all night. Def one of the greats among DJs as well.
Large Pro just seems so damn cool and down to earth. I truly respect that brothers music.
Streets of New York - Kool g rap was raw, blind man plays the 🎷.
Wanted dead or alive, by Kool G Rap & DJ Polo is a hip hop classic....
Large Professor is the coolest dude with glasses.
Super humble for the legend that he is
Can't believe I'm gonna say this... but bigup to Vlad for shouting out Streets Of New York. One of the most underrated hip hop tracks of that era.
I also got a 38, don’t give me no hassle.
That sax ….
Large professor I'm looking at the front door. If u a real Large professor fan
Classic hip hop, miss the mid 80's
@@demetriharlan5887 yessir
Vlad is secretly(not secretly) in love with Nas
Too true
Who isnt?
What's wrong with that? Nas is EVERYTHANG.
Nas, 2Pac and Suge
Amazing interview
Great interview
“Ya fakin tha funk!”
“Tawkin that hardcore bullish,
Ya probably a Punk!” 🤙🏾
Hold up, every episode has a title related to Nas. Isn’t this interview about Extra P.
This cat right here is a fucking legend! ✊🏽
The Carmen interview is violation....u don't do that
Then Carmen Violated not Vlad..
If you have never been to NYC this dude takes you there during this interview lol
STREETS OF NEW YORK str8 up classic one of the best of all time nuff respect!
Jthaproducer yeah their pizza is fire 😂
Say what you want about DJ vlad but he knows his history !! A real hip hop head i can tell he has studied the roots of hip hop not like these other culture vultures, he lights up when these legends come to interview, he knows his shit
Vlad will interview everybody affiliated with NAS because he can't get an interview with NAS. #obsession
But you're going to obsessively watch them so what you complaining about God?
I dont see you trying to get interviews
@@JesseLD3 that's not what I do bitch. I got a great job already. Take this L.
@Mike Mo fuck u talking bout??? Nore more street than Nas 😂😂😂 Yall got Google but don't use it
@@zendavis3501 I didn't watch dummy, it's on my timeline. I just came to comment. Pussy nigga. Fuck I wanna listen to Large Proffessor for?? He a drunk.
I hope Vlad ask about Paul C Rest In Beats. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Paul C was a hidden jewel, his producktion on Ultramagnetic was so promising@Mike Mo
@Mike Mo Eric ain't have shit to do with it Paul girl lined him up and when that happened Paul was producing Eric B and Rakim that's how Large Pro ended working on Let the rhythm hit Em
@Mike Mo You bugging! Word was Super Lover C. He was living with Paul and had beef from Astoria...
Facts bro
@Mike Mo Nah. The gods from Rochdale or Astoria? Still an open case. Only other dude around Paul @ time was Ced G. Organize Konfusion said this.
These Large Professor joints are dope!!
NAS one of the greatest of all time
Yep!
And Large Pro is #OneOfTheBestToEverSpitInMyWorld!
Large professor is the old head you can go kick it wit for hours building and kicking knowledge ! Respect my G
Get an Interview with Lord Finesse!!! He was mad close with Big L.
This guy is a hip hop museum he was there when rap was pure....and has all the stories.
Nas is the greatest storyteller in rap.
@
Thee greatest is Nas. If you listen to Styles and Kiss they are heavily influenced by Nas. Nas is better than Slick, Rae, Ghost Prodigy and KRS.
The Jeneral J.U.-ICE I can say Kiss gets that slick flossin Mafia rhyme shit from Nas and AZ
@@MultiBillionHeir lol I hear you, but in my opinion Raekwon hold's that title. When you talking about fly nigga's who was always talking about the prestigious shit I hold Nas, AZ, Raekwon, and I'll say Ghostface Killa in that regard. "Shakey Dog starting Lolita" by Rae & Ghost gotta be one of the best back & forth's in storytelling and I haven't heard anybody do that besides Nas & AZ on "The Essence". You can't talk storytelling and not mention Rae & Ghost, they compliment each other's similar style in storytelling and flossing.
The Jeneral J.U.-ICE funny you mentioned Raekwon & yeah I’d say Ghostface and Rae influenced Esco and Sosa. When I first heard The Setup from It Was Written I was like wtf this sounds like Raekwon!! You know back in the day as fans we used to get mad when rappers sounded alike 😂 they had to as original as possible- I wanted to skip that track so bad but i had to keep listening for the next rhyme scheme. Also on IWW intro AZ sounds like Rae
Hard to say....but nas had so many classic stories...I gave u power, suspect, shootouts, rise and fall, small world, drunk by myself, undying love, tales from the hood, surviving the times, calm down, rewind, 2nd childhood, war, too many to name....plus it was written was like a mafioso version of great adventures of slick rick...
I'd love to see Chino XL Immortal Technique and Canibus get interviewed
real hip hop!!! thanks V..
Word, I Can Attest To Needing Peace When You're Creating, Most Times That Drama Hinders The Creativity.
Beatnuts interview please! Watch out now!
Salute large professor Vlad this the one 💯💪🏾
Never knew what this legend looked like. Salute
This guy is clearly from New York
Its where he learnt his hussle,had to scuffle with freaks...
This guy really comes across as a nice, happy person.
LOOKING AT THE FRONT DOOR by this man and Main Source is a classic
LP and nas influenced me being a young black boy in new york
Large Pro is a legend that has never received his due, large pro should be the p diddy of hip hop
As a Blackman who never lived in the project, I feel for people who went through day in day out of violence while trying to raise a family.
Im pretty sure I saw this dude at my family reunion a few years back and I had absolutely no clue he was Large Professor. This is crazy
When they open the hip hop museum , vlad and some of his interviews gotta have their own wing. Vlad thank u for preserving the culture via these interviews. A low key living legend like large pro gets lost amongst the big money all hype promotion jobs we usually see on social media sites so do him justice. Ask relevant insightful questions. And dont sell these interviews down the road to the highest bidder. I hope u r doing it for the presrvation of our history. Show them u are not a vulture. Peace
Smh, dude is a vulture.
Large Professor seems like a real cool dude in person. Glad that he was responsible for a lot of careers in Queens.
Professor needs to do some voiceovers. This man got a unique voice yo!
I think he produced or co produced "Lyrics to Go" by A Tribe called Quest. 1 of the illest records of all time.
Nah it was Keeping It Rolling.
I’ve ignored you all for so long but I can’t anymore......the T K Kirkland comments are funny af😂😂😂😂. Keep it up TK Community
Large Professor 🥰🥰🥰✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
He needs to become a regular guest
Thank you large pro for introducing me to nas
The God Large Pro!!
Large Pro is that REAL Hip Hop dude.
Nice interview vlad!!!!! I know u can’t get NAS but this is as close as ur gonna get to him... NAS is the god MC u don’t see that by now?? Look how much he’s been thru but always remained humble and cool and NOW he’s really getting his just due Cuz of many smart investments he made... NAS is the GOD MC...
Legend!!!
Streets of New York is one of the best songs ever written n the history of music regardless of genre, and the production on that track, timeless classic
At 5:30 is Carmen talking about black jus???
Large Professor is a legend good producer 🎶🎶🎶❤🙌🙌🙌🙌🇭🇹 HAITI put some respect on your name 👍
Can we get a Large Professor interview?
I didn’t watch her interview and mad she even came up in a flashback.
TK Kirkland: oh me n Nasty?(i called him nasty BTW) we actually shared bunks up in rikers island, I gave him $5 when he came to me for a loan and kindly asked me not to mention it in "future interviews".
Seems like most new york dudes are down to earth.Definitely a culture all their own.Good interview.
This makes a lot of sense of why nas is so humble & sensitive about urban Life coming from a sociological perspective
Large Pro Is so New YORK, you can hear it in his voice
We don’t need all these damn flashbacks, just let the O.G. speak...75% of this video was a flashback.
There are some people who are new to the platform bruh
My Professor!
Money in the Bank by G Rap was highly slept on
Enough about nas let’s hear more about large pro
Large Prof. seems like a really good dude!
