Re: Best Large Professor remix

Hasnt done as many major ones as you'd think, compared to say Pete Rock, Primo and Diamond D. Seems to be a case of quality over quantity though. Think these are the main ones...

"Gotta Get Over" for me by a long shot...drum programming on that is bananas.
To me its one of the dopest remixes ever. :)

"It's A Boy" would be second for me. That beat is just 90's classic.

On my vinyl copy of the album, the credits for "Very Special" listed on the back cover are wrong. It says featuring Lil Daddy Shane and doesn't mention the featured artists Spinderella, Karen Anderson & Laree Williams. I would like to know if that's a misprint on all copies.

I could go either way on this one.. two amazing albums, but I'll take MATSB. The production is not as slick as TMI, but on MATSB Pete's arrangements are more animated and he shows greater range stylistically, which makes it more interesting as a whole album. As for the MCing CL Smooth has some prett...
