Main Source-Fuck What You Think

For all the recognition that Breaking Atoms attains, Main Source crafted their true opus in the oft-uttered Fuck What You Think. Although there are no classic cuts like Live At The Barbeque or metaphor-based street tales like Just A Friendly Game Of Baseball, Fuck What You Think is by far the more cohesive and succinct album, one might even call it 'doper'. Due to group conflict, Main Source's second album was stocked and subsequently shelved within the same year. Large Pro re-released it in '99, and it had the same effect as when Xtra P re-released his own The LP this year, or when Q-Tip liberated Kamaal The Abstract. If an album is not released within it's proper time frame it loses value to the majority of it's consumers. The LP was kind of weak sauce, but if Kamaal The Abstract were to be released in '96 by Geffen, it would have provided an medium between his ATCQ work and Amplified.
The same can be said for Fuck What You Think, and almost every other album. Can you imagine if Illmatic or Ready To Die were shelved and released in '99? Would they still achieve the same level of adoration? It's hard to say, but I believe it's worth the 40 some minutes to hear an album that probably should be mentioned alongside the other '94 classics. You think not? Fuck What You Think.
