Breaking Atoms (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Breaking Atoms is the debut album of American/Canadian hip hop group Main Source, released July 23, 1991, on Wild Pitch Records. Production was handled by the group, primarily by member Large Professor, and took place during 1989 to 1991 at Homeboy Studio, Power Play Studios, and Libra Digital in New York City. Recorded during the golden age of hip hop, Breaking Atoms is distinguished stylistically by its incorporation of jazz and soul music samples. The album has been highly regarded by music writers due mostly to its production, whose heavy and original use of sampling influenced hip hop producers for a considerable portion of the 1990s. The album has been widely regarded by writers and music critics as a significantly influential album and has been noted for debuting rapper Nas, who appears on the track "Live at the Barbeque". His contribution to the song was sampled on "The Genesis", the intro track to his debut album Illmatic (1994). Breaking Atoms has been recognized as one of the most important records in hip hop history, and was out of print in the United States after the demise of Wild Pitch Records in 1997. It was reissued on April 22, 2008 through Fontana Distribution. (en)

Breaking Atoms è l'album d'esordio del gruppo hip hop statunitense/canadese Main Source, pubblicato il 23 luglio del 1991. L'album è commercializzato da Wild Pitch ed EMI. In Canada la distribuzione è partecipata dalla label Attic. Alle produzioni collabora anche Pete Rock. Registrato durante l'età dell'oro dell'hip hop, Breaking Atoms si distingue stilisticamente per le sue incorporazioni di campionamenti soul e jazz. La canzone Live at the Barbeque ha il merito di "lanciare" sia Nas sia Akinyele, entrambi al debutto in un album in studio. Successivamente, Nas campiona la sua parte per The Genesis, la canzone d'introduzione per il suo album d'esordio Illmatic (1994). Breaking Atoms è riconosciuto come uno degli album più importanti nella storia dell'hip hop e nel 1997 con la chiusura della Wild Pitch Records, il prodotto dei Main Source andò fuori stampa. È stato ristampato dall'aprile 2008 sotto la Fontana Distribution. Nel 1998, la rivista The Source lo inserisce nella sua lista dei 100 migliori album hip hop. (it)
