Looking At The Front Door / Fakin’ The Funk – Main Source – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Main Source’s ‘Looking At The Front Door / Fakin’ The Funk’ is a rare meeting point of incisive storytelling and forward-thinking production. Dropping in the early ’90s, these tracks embody the spirit of New York’s golden age, with Large Professor’s lyrical introspection and crate-digging sensibility shaping their unmistakable sound. ‘Looking At The Front Door’ feels almost cinematic in its honesty, capturing a relationship’s unraveling with a poetic directness that set new standards for rap’s emotional range. ‘Fakin’ The Funk,’ meanwhile, is a sharp critique of inauthenticity in hip-hop, delivered over a swirling, jazz-laden groove that has become a sample-head’s dream.

Beyond their technical mastery, these tracks are significant for opening doors—both sonically and culturally. They bridge the streetwise realism of East Coast rap with jazz’s improvisational spirit, a fusion that influenced countless artists in their wake. Whether you’re drawn to the clever wordplay, the lush sampling, or the crackle of vinyl nostalgia, this release stands as a testament to hip-hop’s potential for depth and innovation. For collectors and listeners alike, it’s an indispensable slice of music history.
