Main Concept is a hip-hop group from Munich, Germany, currently consisting of three members. The group was founded in 1990 by David Pe, DJ Explizit, and Human D (then known as Glammerlicious). They initially gained popularity on regional stages and at various rap jams. In 1991, David Pe began writing and performing his lyrics in German, which was uncommon at the time. From the start, Main Concept focused on politically and socially conscious lyrics, leading to collaborations with the Heidelberg-based rap group Advanced Chemistry. Their 1992 performance with Advanced Chemistry, Aquarius Answer, and the Crazy Force Crew marked their breakthrough beyond Munich. In 1993, Main Concept released their first single, "So hat das Volk den Verstand verloren," on the indie label Move Records. Their debut album, "Coole Scheiße," followed in 1994, coinciding with the "Klasse von ’94" tour alongside Absoluten Beginnern and MC Rene, which continued in 1995 as the "Klasse von ’95" tour with additional musicians. The album included the track "Zwischen den Stühlen," contributing to a debate sparked by Advanced Chemistry’s song "Fremd im eigenen Land." During this period, Main Concept became a central part of Munich’s hip-hop scene, regularly organizing jams at the Muffathalle featuring both international acts—such as DV alias Khrist, Missin Linx, Al Tariq, Problemz, and Get Open—and German groups, alongside graffiti artists like Seen, Ces, and Mode 2.
