A 90s New York hit that explores the fusion of intellect and beat.
"The Mad Scientist" is a single that marked Large Professor's launch into solo career, showcasing his ingenious sampling and rap skills. Released through Geffen, it is a song that symbolizes his future direction.
This is a representative track from Large Professor's early solo career, following his departure from Main Source, in which he lays out his own musical philosophy. True to the title, "Mad Scientist" features an impressive, experimental yet meticulously constructed beat. Dry drum breaks and deep basslines are layered with precise sample manipulation, vividly conveying the atmosphere of the New York underground at the time. The lyrics intertwine his pride as a producer and MC with his spirit of inquiry, portraying him as a "sound researcher." This work marked the beginning of his long-awaited album, "The LP," and can be said to symbolize the intellectual side of '90s East Coast hip-hop.
