Fuck What You Think

DJ and producers K-Cut and Sir Scratch released their second and what ended up being their final album due to Main Source breaking up in 1994. Large Professor left the group before the making of Fuck What You Think and was replaced by another Queens emcee, MC Mikey D. The trio was joined by The LOX members, Sheek Louch and Jadakiss, as well as Kool G Rap’s wife, Shaqueen, on the track “Set It Off,” where the posse was billed as the Dog Pack.

The album’s only single, “What You Need,” reached #48 on the Rap chart.

In 2018, when asked about the tonal shift from their 1991 debut album, Breaking Atoms, to Fuck What You Think, K-Cut shed some light:

I’m not into politics, you know what I mean? Usually the hip-hop game is like, ‘This person has a beef with that person,’ and for me, it wasn’t about having a beef, it was about music. So, we just wanted to just do music and put our music out there and get everybody to listen to it. Do you know what I mean?

On the subject of Large Professor’s departure, he claimed the situation was mutual and that the album was not an attack on the Queens emcee:

So it never was a thing of politicking with Large Pro, or like, ‘We’re gonna prove Large Pro wrong.’ It was all about, ‘Yo, Mike had skills from day one, and I produce; we just want people to listen to what we’ve been holdin’ in for a minute,’ you know what I mean? It’s about showing the art, the craft, who you are as an artist and who you are as a producer, and let the world know. That’s what I think Main Source is about: It’s not about who’s the best.
