That's why Nas said Hip Hop is dead. He was the capstone to the pyramid of hip hop. He completed it. After Nas there was no where else for hip hop to go. Time for something new Enter mumble rap
Extra P's beard looks really good, the gray looks good, the brother looks like he's taking care of himself, which is something I like to see. Alot of these rappers be looking all drugged out, fat, out of shape, tired, my brother looks good. He's one of my favorite producers of all time, he's hip hop through and through.
@Tha Imperial....I knew some idiot would come along and have something stupid to say about my comment. Why can't we black men show love to one another? Why can't I give the brother credit for looking well? Health is big my brother, your health is your wealth in a sense. I see so many old school rappers looking bad from not taking care of themselves. I'm giving him props all the way around. And did you read? I showed respect for him as a producer, as someone who made a huge contribution to hip hop. Why you mad? My brother, you need to grow up out here.
Action Jackson! Bro don’t pay ignorant people any attention. They are a waste of your time and energy. Those of us that were supposed to get what you said can appreciate it for what it was.
@@tribeofbenjamin3404 .....I hear you my brother, I thought I was safe to say what I said because I thought no kids would be here trolling because they don't know who Extra P is, he's from our generation of hip hop but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the support homie.
I can’t help but to wish the best for people like Large Professor. You can look at his demeanor and tell he’s always been proud of Nas success. It’s no hater bone in his body. Salute Large Professor. He’s definitely a legend in the game.
Salute to Large Pro, one of the most slept on producers during the 90s golden era of hip hop. Has a classic album, and produced classic tracks for 80s AND 90s legends (Nas, Kool G Rap, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, GangStarr, Tribe Called Quest, etc). Had the pleasure of randomly meeting this humble brother in a Manhattan street last year. Peace to a true hip hop elder.
I had never heard large professor give an interview before. I had no idea his speech patterns, mannerisms and whole vibe were RAKIMesque. Much respect. Saw him and Main Source in 1991 at Rascals teen dance club in Naugatuck Connecticut
@@designatedpiledriver8216 i never did spend my time watching interviews. Recently , i started watching vlad's interviews. Plus large professor always been on some low key in the background but thorough shit
Large pro is a legend... till this day the AZ and styles P the hardest is (no pun) one of THE HARDEST beats I've ever heard... but this interview will get very interesting once he brings up nas and the "worst beat picker" topic
Nas is the worst beat picker. He had CRAZY chemistry with Large Pro, Pete rock, and Premier. Then he goes n does shit loads of songs with salaam remi mediocre ass.......
I'm a real advocate of the new idea of putting HIP HOP into categories now.Once cooperate America got hip hop in it's clutches, and the overnight success of the internet came into play, the hip hop game has changed....maybe for the better of the pocket, but as a culture, the powers that be still cut the biggest checks for the way "they" want it to go....just hope we don't lose sight that hip hop has evolved, it's multi cultural, comes from any where on the planet and the ESSENCE of ALL WE CALL HIP HOP, even through so called mumble rap, has gone no where.

If and when🚨 lyrical wordplay mixed with creatively produced samples from uneartherd albums and r&b hits🚨 rules hip hop again, we will see who from this new era will be here to last the test of time, like GREATS before them
Son got hip hop in his bloodstream, tracks like: In the sun ft Q Tip and One on One ft Nas are the best hip hop tracks ever made...Respect due, One Love True
early 90s i saw Eric b and rakim, Main Source and Chubb Rock package deal live...awesome times, another thing already stated by some, this man is breath of fresh air, you see this guy you know its a matter of respect.
Naji sister nancy’s bam bam came out in 82 Pete rock was a kid at that time so it makes more because his roots are Jamaican and him as one of hip hops greatest producers that was a great sample and mixture

Professor said "When I was 12, I was a fan of the Jackson 5" - Incorrect. It should be "When I was young, I was a fan of the Jackson 5". Get it right P. ☝🏻
Based on this interview alone, vlad probably setting up the joe fatal and tragedy khadaffi interviews as we speak. This interview is crack. Vlad release the whole interview asap. The 40 and over crowd been fiending for this interview.
anytime I hear Large professor... all I hear is "I showed you ya first tech on tour wit Large professor, then I heard ya album bout ya tech on the dresser" .... and every time I hear BBQ - I hear " I kept changing on the world since Barbecue" classic content about classic moments .. dope
After Nas said he "went to hell for snuffin' Jesus," mad rappers started beating up on J.C. after that. Big L did it. Smoothe the Hustler, Biggie, and others. I was like, "whoa."
THESE are the Ole Heads you cheer for!!LARGE P is soooooo NEW YORK!!HE cheering for Nas(lo-key) all thru the interview. This is what it looks like when u happy for ya bruh
I had Breaking Atoms. Used to bump the hell outta that album. First time I listened to “Live at the BBQ” and heard Nasty Nas Was a fan of his since then
Much props to Large professors vary cool dude. We went to do job together in his pathfinder, and I didn't even know who he was till now (wow) Super humble.
I and we needed this and need those fucking tapes Nas is the smoothest emcee to ever grace the mic Nas and prof will always be one of the best duos of all time

@@RayNLA I don't know what jeans you were wearing but I never in my life had skinny jeans and I'm 45 years old so you might've like that tight along waist shit not me speak for yourself
Ahh man! I first heard Live at the BBQ on the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito underground station before it dropped commercially and I instantly appreciated Nas's style. The intro he said he's a streets disciple... my raps are trifle... I shoot slugs from my brain just like rifle...🤦♂️ He reminded me of Tragedy but a demented version in an illmatic way. He was saying some off the hook stuff. I used to sit by the radio to record the new stuff and man I replayed his verse numerous times. That song was fire. P verse was crazy too. I grab up girls like Jack's add 'em on like tax then I'm over like hot tracks...🤦♂️
'Breaking Atoms' is such a classic album...so classic, the wax or CD costs a grip to get. I broke my original tape like three or four times and after scotching it together several times, I decided to buy the CD.
I dont understand how Vlad can say Nas is the worse beat picker when every beat on Illmatic is nice. How many hip hop artists can say they have an iconic, whole album full of great beats and rhymes? Nowadays, everyone is just happy if you have a good sounding single.I've listened to Illmatic many times from the beginning to the end.
yeah, but over time Nas has made many other albums where a GANG of the beats were suspect. I always say his ears were the best during the first two albums... they been half-assed ever since.
A gazillion questions about Nas when Extra P worked with so many Queens legends,including the late Paul C,Organized Konfusion,G Rap,Eric B(Queens)and Rakim,Akinyele,Tribe,Mobb Deep,Powerule,Shante,Craig G,Cormega,The Beatnuts,Neek The Exotic,Nore,Mic Geronimo etc.
When you look up "NY Cat" in the dictionary you'll see a image of Large Professor.

Very eloquently stated sir...

Yeah, Large professor has always been a very humble guy! Very intelligent, a master lyricist, and a very knowledgeable guy in the music business.

He won't hell back track and say well not yours Large Pro 😂😂😂

@@tribeofbenjamin3404 I'm of that era. Reminds me of Rakim. But ur right other people from that era have similar traits.

It wasn't meant to be, brody. Get over it.

He look like kane but more lightskin
On the next Vlad: Vlad talks to Nas mailman.
I get on Vlad for a lot of things but he redeems himself with interviews of hip hop architects. Big up to Large Pro!
Vlad's sauce money interview : All Jay-z questions
Vlad's large professor interview :
All Nas questions
🕺🏾I Like How Large Professor Put Vlad On Front Street 1:29 As If He Didn't Understand His Own Profession Or Study Professionalism

Need to find them demos!!!!
Again, Great Interview Vlad.
damn you can't even ask that man about his own work and production for more than one video before you start asking him about Nas?
It’s coming fam...hold tight

Nah that dude in love with Nas, straight up. Can't get off his dick. 🤣
He is obsessed with Nas. Plus Vlad is a hip hop head.

Extra P...Real Hip Hop lives on!👊🏾✊🏿
this interview should have millions of views. A Legend amongst legends
Large Pro seems like a pretty chill and respectful guy.

7:50 - thank you Large Pro for confirming the illest segment in Nas' verse. It fell in such a pocket that it damn near made ya hair stand up
LL still kept Queens alive but LL had become so big or "hollywood" by then that he was kinda seperated from queens in ppl's minds
"Just Hangin' Out" is the first hip-hop song to sample Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam"?
Jeff yes then Pete Rock sampled it in the Basement
Mental Life Consultants yea Pete Rock Is Jamaican 🇯🇲 ✊🏾💪🏾
Jake Roberts They good dudes. Went to college with his brother Grap.
EITHER THAT or P ROCK'S 🎶THE BASEMENT🎶(not sure which came out 1st).

I love the way LP speaks, talks like a real man
"Watch Roger Do His Thing"- Large Pro
Large Pro is underrated as a producer
Jedi King Pudge uhm, he’s far from underrated. No one has ever put him in a underrated category.
Jedi King Pudge I don't think so. He's top 5 all day!
Professor said "When I was 12, I was a fan of the Jackson 5" - Incorrect. It should be "When I was young, I was a fan of the Jackson 5". Get it right P. ☝🏻
Damn can’t front on this one. Large is a true hip hop legend. A Nas/Large Pro project would be magic and huge for the culture!!!
Most important part of interview - Let's go Extra P!!!!
Happy to see Large Professor, i have never seen him do an interview.
Nas caught my attention with the line "Slamming mc's on cement, cause verbally I'm iller than an aids patient".

This going to be a flashback if them demos come out
It's the 25th anniversary of illmatic, those demos need to come out since they gonna reissue that album again for the millionth time
And Nas really did try to hang Jay Z during his summer jam performance. That's why they wouldn't let him perform that year. It was a mock hanging.
Not only was he gonna hang Jay he was bringing out Foxy Az and few others but hot 97 was so much on Jay's dick they told Nas he couldn't diss him
