Fuck What You Think is the second and final album by American/Canadian hip hop group Main Source.[5][6] It was scheduled for release by Wild Pitch Records in 1994, although it is unclear whether the album actually made it to stores.[7] However, the album was released, or re-released, in 1999.[7][4] Large Professor, one of the group's founding members, left the group before the making of the album.[1][8]
On this album, K-Cut and Sir Scratch combined their talents with Mikey D, an emcee previously signed to Sleeping Bag Records, who demonstrates a raw voice and delivery. The song "Set It Off" includes verses from Jadakiss and Sheek Louch of The Lox before they became successful a few years later. A female emcee named Shaqueen (Kool G Rap's former wife) contributes to "Set It Off" and "Fuck What You Think." Only one single was released from the album, "What You Need," in 1993.
Madonna sampled the bass line from "What You Need" in the song "Human Nature," which appeared on her 1994 album Bedtime Stories.
