Main Source "Breaking Atoms 25 Mix"

One of my favorite MC's of all time is Mos Def. The man was so damn fluid on the mic and actually cared about the things he talked about. A true poet. Growing up, it was very important for me to see people who were actually intelligent while still retaining that cool factor. I think many times in the black community, you equate a person being extremely well-read as either snobby and elitist or a straight sell-out with no self-awareness. Mos was able to shatter those misconceptions beautifully. The man is an award-winning actor, true mc, poet, and producer. And he does all of them with skill and a nobility. Hip-hop is meant to serve as a positive beacon for the community. Salute Mos aka Dante Smith. Another tribute mix. :) Get in tune on twitter @djrashadhayes & blackmeansforever.tumblr.com

Mos Def (Expanded)

This is a project that I was asked to do I guess sometime in the early 2000's . It was a remix for a Bob James project . the idea was to take an existing piece of work and flip it . So this was my flip . I had Pete Miser come in and do some vocal snippets . I never knew what happened to the project but I did put a lot of work into this mix so I figured I would share it . Enjoy , Prince Paul unreleased series . 

Back in the day ( Bob James remix never released demo ) feat Prince Paul

Do you remember hip hop...?
I agree with K-Cut when he mentioned feeling like an outsider 'looking in' on today's scene. This a 'rough n ready' lost tape of a group in their prime, check out the innovation in cutting up samples and performing tracks. The use of 2 DJ's was not really used back then. Check some pics from this gig here http://www.flipthescriptbook.com/blog 




This is the reason Flip the script is posting these rare recordings as a signpost to those who missed this golden era. I personally feel these guys don't get full recognition for their contribution to music...Breaking Atoms still smashes anything out today.

Main Source was a Toronto and New York based hip hop group comprising of Toronto's Sir Scratch and K-Cut, and Queens' Large Professor. The group's first album, Breaking Atoms, featured conscious tracks such as "Looking at the Front Door," "A Friendly Game of Baseball," and "Watch Roger Do His Thing," as well as the first on-record appearance of Nas on "Live at the Barbeque," which also featured Joe Fatal and Akinyele.
