On today in 1994, Pete Rock and CL Easy through Elektra Information dropped their second album, The Most important Ingredient, thirty years in the past right this moment.
Produced solely by the legend Pete Rock himself, The Most important Ingredient outlined the sound of the Cash Earnin’ Mount Vernon duo, with Pete’s signature horns and jazz-laced drums patterns, tracks like “I Received A Love”, which derived from The Ambassadors’ “Ain’t Received The Love” and was sampled in Jay-Z’s and Jay Elec’s “Shiny Go well with Idea,” and “Solar Received’t Come Out” grew to become the “manufacturing prediction” of Pete Rock even outdoors of his tasks with CL.
Satirically, this was the duo’s final album collectively, by no means citing causes for his or her separation. Nonetheless, we thank Pete Rock & CL Easy for this time capsule of Hip Hop purity. Salute!
