1991
Main Source’s album Breaking Atoms is released and is hailed as a hip-hop classic.
Nasty Nas, as he was then called, appears as the first MC on the track "Live at the Barbeque" which also features Large Professor & Akinyele. However Nas’ incredibly striking verse grabs all the attention and is the most talked about aspect of the song among hip-hop fans. On the strength of the success of the single "Looking At the Front Door", Main Source go on tour with the UMCs and Jaz and Nas accompanies the group.
At one tour stop in Washington, DC technical difficulties force the show to be cut short prompting an unruly response from the crowd who chase the groups onto their tour bus. Jaz’s hypeman, a then-unknown Jay-Z, pulls a gun out of his gym bag in case things got further out of hand, to the shock of Nas and everyone else present. Jay-Z would later recount this incident in the lyrics of "Takeover" to belittle Nas.
