Editorial Review:
2008 reissue of the debut album from Main Source. It is widely thought of as a very influential album and it is notable for the debut of Hip Hop superstar Nas. It is also highly regarded thanks to the virtuoso production of frontman Large Professor, whose heavy, and original, use of sampling influenced Hip Hop producers for a good portion of the '90s. Nas makes his debut appearance on "Live at the Barbeque", which is also played in the background of "Genesis", the intro to his critically acclaimed album, Illmatic. Breaking Atoms is one of the most important records in the History of Hip Hop and also hard-to-find; it has been out of print in the United States since the demise of Wild Pitch Records in 1997.

If you are a hip hop head you already realize this is gem. An essential for any collection.
Rating: - Outstanding Album
WOW! This album is absolutely amazing! The production is remarkable, the lyrics are fantastic; overall, an exceptional album, a must have.
Rating: - Should be in every one's top ten
There are so many reasons why I liked this but the main reason is the Large Professor who is in my top 10 rappers. I do own this on vinyl also and cd. The cover is what got me also as its one thats really differant. The Large Pro is still doing his thing and has instrumental albums out which you should get. He is still one of the best producers around. This is one album where I dont think there is a song on it I dont like. You do have to get a hold of the 12 inch remixs also to the songs esp Peace ...

Rating: - Best Canadian Rap Album...
Well even though Large Professor is not canadian...i still consider the album a canadian masterpeice. Worth buying for 30$..a true classic for any heads collection.
Rating: - Classic New York Hip Hop, Act Like you Know!
The Extra P, K-Cut & Sir Scratch dropped this classic in 1991. Loved the 1970's beats. This album is mostly remembered for bringing Nas to the forefront. This album gets my vote for one of the top 20 greatest rap albums of alltime.
