Large Professor, "The LP"

Originally slated to come out on Geffen in 1995, Large Professor's solo debut, "The LP," was shelved after two singles -- "The Mad Scientist" and "Ijuswannachill" failed to make much of an impact on radio. For years, "The LP" circulated as a bootleg after promo copies became subject to the technological breakthrough that is file-sharing sites.

There have been several versions of various qualities of this album that have been unofficially released, but Large Professor has all but moved on. His excellent follow-up and actually released album, "1st Class" came out on Matador and he's currently promoting his new record, "The Main Source." But for the man who gave Nas his start and is probably one of the most prolific producer/MCs in the history of hip-hop, "The LP" will be a lost classic.
