It's available in both vocal and instrumental versions, with both sides doing a great job in showcasing the duo's killer beat - a fine mixture of crunchy drums, woozy electric piano chords, scratched-in samples and toasty bass.

Large Professor was happy to roam over varied topics at a time when many rappers had a manic focus on one thing. And where better to hang out with friends than at a barbecue? ‘Live at the Barbecue’ is rightly regarded as one of the best posse cuts of all time, and famous for showcasing the debut of one Nasty Nas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile he delivers a dope verse full of quotables over drums from Bob James’ oft-plundered ‘Nautilus’, credit is also due to the other guests. Fatal and Akinyele aren’t disgraced in this company, and Large Professor tops it off with a rare verse of pure brag-rap. An undisputed entry in the pantheon of head-nod hip-hop, this is its first official UK release, and another debut on 7”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracks: Just Hanging’out (Vocal) \/ Live At The Barbecue (Vocal)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cDz29sva4FM\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr bongo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37673659728028,"sku":"MRB7188P","price":13.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/image005_94f3baf4-810e-4aa6-9482-0b3e06395b87.jpg?v=1612283888"},{"product_id":"main-source-peace-is-not-the-word-to-play-remix-peace-is-not-the-word-to-play-album-version-red-vinyl","title":"Main Source - Peace Is Not The Word To Play (Remix) \/ Peace Is Not The Word To Play (Album Version) [Red Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCat. no: MRB7189R\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: 7” (indie only red vinyl)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 7119691271378\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 12th February 2021\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Rap\/Hip-Hop\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOfficial Mr Bongo Hip Hop Reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe’ll get to the vocal content in a second, but first it’s time to acknowledge what a patchwork tapestry of genius ‘Peace is not the word to play’ is in terms of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLarge Professor being a prodigy on the SP-1200 is well established, but the way he flips parts of MFSB’s ‘TLC’ and Milly and Silly’s obscure ‘Gettin’ Down for Xmas’ with a sprinkling of Lyn Collins here establishes his credentials in the top tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLyrically, it’s a tour de force, with Main Source taking exception with the misuse of the word ‘peace’ by the hip-hop fraternity.

The Science was under lock and key and never even saw a bootleg circulation, which means this first ever release of the album is monumental news for anyone who values the golden age of hip-hop.
