I've always loved this track: -

That and Live At The BBQ are my two favourite tracks from that LP.

"Live @ The BBQ" is my favorite, one of the greatest posse cuts of all time along with "Scenario", "Protect Ya Neck" and "Represent" imo. "Snake Eyes" and "Just Hangin' Out" ain't far behind though

I like the pete rock one, Vamos a Rapiar. Watch Roger is great too.

"A Friendly Game Of Baseball"

You've got some of the hardest decisions for a Hip Hop fan to answer Jaz, first EPMD, Redman & Cube and now THIS! lol. I'm gonna have to choose Live from the BBQ because I'm a fan of straight mic attacking over raw breaks at the end of the day. The song expresses many of my favorite sounds of Hip Hop in a major way.

the salt of the earth break used for lookin at the fron door is one of my favorite breaks ever so i probably have to go with that track

<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZfymVPOdMwk?ve ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZfymVPOdMwk?version=3&hl=de_DE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

but the album is one of the best in hip hop and along with Mecca and the Soul brother the best example of multilayered melodic sampling imo.

"Live @ The BBQ"

Mark 563 · Post by **Mark 563** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 7:26 pm

This ranks up there as one of my all time favourites, along with Diamond's debut and Pete Rock and CL Smooth's first LP.

That said, I really never need to hear 'Live At The BBQ' ever again. Favourites are probably 'Vamos A Rapiar' and 'Just Hangin' Out'.

"Just Hangin Out"

Boothe · Post by **Boothe** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:50 am

Looking At The Front Door, or Just Hangin Out

Depending on the day.

Jaz · Post by **Jaz** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 2:42 am

I love the whole album, always have and still own my tape and CD reissue.

I think I am going to choose "Snakes Eyes" because of the Melvin Bliss drums and that ill as hell Jesse Anderson-"Mighty Mighty" sample in the breakdown.

Same here, but since I had to pick just one, I went with Looking At The Front Door.

Very difficult question. Over the years the answer to the question has changed. Right now and for a while it has been "Just A Friendly Game of Baseball" but "Large Professor" is one of my favorites as well.

Krisch · Post by **Krisch** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 4:15 pm

voted for Vamos A Rapiar, but on another day it could have been Just Hangin Out

Jaz · Post by **Jaz** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 5:12 pm

Thanks for the feedback...here is a M.S. question that puzzles me why is the unreleased "Time" the same as "Hellavision" on the F--K What You Think LP? and was it produced by Large Pro?...because it sure as hell sounds like it.

How the fuck does "Just a friendly game of baseball" only have one vote!?!?

they are all dope. but I went with Just hangin out...

Tough call. This album is an undeniable classic. I actually rank it above Illmatic, crazy as that may sound.

Went with Vamos A Rapiar. Just a Friendly Game of Baseball is a close 2nd.

Friendly Game of Baseball, no question.

There's been a few reissues of Breaking Atoms with bonus tracks. I wonder why they've never included the extended version (the video version) of Peace Is Not The Word To Play as a bonus track.

procelebritygolf · Post by **procelebritygolf** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:22 pm

my fav album...one of the only albums where EVERY track is serious.....have a soft spot for Vamos (DOPE Three Sounds break kills it)

Both the remix and the video version (12" mix) are on the Atoms bootleg cd
