J-Hood - Never Be (prod. Dj Premier)

[icqpimp]

DJ Premier is the ONLY producer that can make me listen, I repeat, "LISTEN" to a rapper I either hate or never heard of. And when it comes to rappers I hate (that Premier produced for) it's like, it seems like they step their game up. This guy is an example, although he actually is nice. His voice may grate at first, but if you listen, and let it ride all the way through, he's actually a real nigga, and it is "NOT" often, I say that about any rapper (/body) anymore.

[najirban]

I need a dvd with EVERY Premo produced track.... import to ipod... all good.

[thedevo01]

@najirban How about you buy some of his 12"s?

[cjvj05]

Not great lyrically but not bad another funky track by dj premier

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

any rapper gotta go in the hardest they can to Premos beats. its a must!

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

J-HOOD J-HOOD J-HOOD!! PREMO PREMO PREMO!! You already know my reaction to this beat and his Lyrics.

[XiuTheFeared]

primo makes any nigga sound good on the mic.

[danimal77376]

Okay the beat is going "meeeeeee" and that OW! So its a cat. Meeeeeow!

[syseone]

j hood brought that crack over a rugged premo cut

[NittyNilt]

J-hood is ok. But PREMO never disapoints ! this nigga going down in history !

[hesorudetome]

DJ PREMIER MADE J HOOD SOUND LIKE A RAW MC TOO.

[hesorudetome]

ANOTHER FUNKY BEAT BY THE BEAT MASTER, (DJ PREMIER)!

[Ajzakcina]

Preemo even made J HOOD sound great!!!

PREEM FOR LIFE

D BLOCK NIGGGAAA!!!

[trotters213]

6 haters !

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

Turn on the ignition when rollin to premos beats!

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

@xDTHECHEMISTx I'M GLAD SOMEONE DOES!!

[074FaTiiH]

this beat always makes my day

[spzvproductions]

J-hood is a good one, but preemos beat is like another world

[anatolianINVASION]

This is the beat you play in your car rollin through the streets.

And pull the driver seat all the waaaay back.

[sethttk15]

6 people don't know what a good beat sounds like.

[Pierreroy1]

@sethttk15 Maybe 6 people don't like J-Hood? Because if it wasn't for Premo...this track would be garbage.

[Lorenshyne]

Then im a good human :). Deep song. I wonder how a harder mc than J-Hood would have done with this beat. But he alright but the beat is plain sick. Preme - Living Legend with soul

[QuoteNotes16]

never really felt j hood,but fuk it,preemo could even turn fuckin soulja boi in a descent rapper

[360king100]

this is live

[stevepogie]

I think the dislikes are miss hits!

[420JBizzle420]

IS hip hop was a religion DJ premier would be moses rakim would be god and krs would be jesus. RIP GURU GANGSTARR 4 LYFE!!!!!

[Nedzny14]

muthafuckin genius

[hustla50]

i'm feelin most of premo's beats 2 b honest he is a genius

[BLakNoSe777777]

dj premier!!!!!!!!!

[dannyokball]

this beat is hottt....j hood kills good beats....honestly i only like his shit on good beats....he is one of he best soundin.flowin.rhymin rappers on a hottt beat....if it aint a smooth beat he dont sound that good honestly....j hood nice tho....he isnt the best lyrical rapper its his abilitly to switch flows and how his voice sounds....he smooth no homo

[calamaty83]

dis sjit so smooth...

[crack61616]

des is hamma fettttt!!!!!!oh SHIT!!!!!!!!

[78hiphop]

PREMIER'S SCRATCHING IZ RIDICULOUS!!! ILL TRACK

[M4A5Khadafi]

of course it's not his best work, it's made for Jae Hood, and he's terrible.

[misterblisstr]

Hella smooth.......puhhhhhhhhh dats hot!!!

[DuttBeezy]

honestly i do feel this beat, yeah he's done better but he's also done worse, different prople different tastes...

this beat is simple & steady, dope cuts, nothing wrong with it, standard Preemo, i dont see why all the hate...

[carkis]

This is some beat, crazy flow, bass lovin this shit

[BeatsNBassNRhymes]

primo is the man, dope as anything

[ogfunk187]

DAMN!! that guitar/bassline sound reminds me of an older rap song but i cant think what it is??? its been annoying me for weeks.. any ideas?

[anatolianINVASION]

throwaway beat?

This beat is knockin'.. smooth as hell, simple, wavy.. suits J Hood's flow. Something no other producer could pull off. Preem basically saw something in J-Hood's vocab no one ever did and brought it out wit the beats and the cuts.

[simpleyvic]

@anatolianINVASION

I dunno what u talk'n 'bout man... but if you've heard a wide variety of Premo's beats, you'd be disappointed in this, like i am... if u want a simple Premo beat, above the clouds crushes this... this is beat is borderline wack I.M.O. & i rate Premo #1 of all time, so that's say'n something... Premo didn't want 2 waste any good shit on J. Hood...

-.-

[anatolianINVASION]

@simpleyvic

Premo has hundreds of simple beats. that don't mean shit. His best beats are simple beats. kick, snare, hat, 2 sec. bassline, 2, 3 samples. done deal.

But this beat is on some wavy NY tip and fits J Hood's flow like a glove.

[EdoGang]

Word Life



[simpleyvic]

Premo gave Hood one of his throwaway joints... this beat is so ass compared 2 Premo's good shit... i'm sure he ain't wanna waste no real fire on J-Hood..

-.-

[nptrock]

@simpleyvic True bro...peoples need to get off his dick..beats trash for premier...he's done a million times better than dis bull...i rate preemo but this aint sayin' shit...dont give a fuck wat any 1 says..Preemos only human, not everything he does is gold..im a fan and i speak the truth!!!

[eckopnb]

suprised he got with premo but its cuz kiss got with premo and styles

[jac5562]

@eckopnb who cares this songs crack

[jrocksdamills]

To everyone who says J hood is wacked he was out before Jim Jones with D block..... He does have some game....

[DraeRome08]

j hood went ham on that last verse

[WhtMike2006]

No more Preem and Alchemist hook ups for Jae Hood lol. Never bite the hand that feeds you...

[ALLEYCATZ1986]

this shit is hot. go hood

[mrcapablanca]

I wish someone like Nas or AZ could have flowed over this track because the beat is tight but J Hood just seems not to know what to do with it.

[F4billionyearzag0]

@mrcapablanca My thoughtz exactly!  J Hood doesn't even deserve a Primo beat!

[Thugnificent718]

This is a waist of a good Premiere beat cuz J Hood is trash

[Skatemafia4lyfe2K6]

@Thugnificent718 He wasn't bad on this track. He went hard on this. Now, if it was Wayne, then I'd agree with you.

[KRizmaTV]

he soundin like jim jones

[mOnAuLt]

Sample ?

[MrSkrilla23]

iktomi76... U sooooo right, they will never get close 2 Primo's beat. Bring Back The Oldschool!!!!!!!

[tooill1]

this is the 6th time i listen to this consecutively, and it just gets better

[SCHMOOVNESS]

damn i love his delivary of his lyrics...so sick and the beat is amazing actually

[DaChemistryMan]

Rap version of akilies, who gunna stop me?

Its gunna take more than a bow and arrow to drop me.

[RIPDAJ]

it's Achilles

[bigBADwinston]

Never be this nice, still wondering how this beats are made...bbRRAaaa outta Germany peace yo!

[iktomi76]

Primo's beat formula:

Ingredients:

1 MPC 60-II

2 SP-950

3 One turntable

4 Primo's Imagination

Sorry, finding #4 is impossible! Ha!

[jmebowler]

@iktomi76 premos imagination is hip hop.premo is hip hop period.one of the best to have ever done it.and hes humble!

[StrosB4Hos]

i seen premo using oxygen25 & serato scratch..

[hendrjus]

@StrosB4Hos PRIMO DONT USE SERATO

[Skatemafia4lyfe2K6]

@hendrjus I think he does, dude. How else does he scratch those other samples from old ass shows, recordings, radio shows, speeches, movies, and shit like that? That shit ain't on Vinyl. lol

[02Stratus]

@Skatemafia4lyfe2K6 It's a testament to Premier's creativity. I think one of the best parts of Gangstarr's "Above the Clouds" wasn't even the beat, or Inspectah Deck's timeless verse on it. It was that Primo set it off with the snippet from John F. Kennedy's space travel speech. Quite clever and thematically proper.

[Skatemafia4lyfe2K6]

@02Stratus Exactly. Themes are what set the tone of a track.

[authentic92]

@iktomi76 samples

[slater080808]

@iktomi76

One turntable? You forgot about the records!

[Erixxmr]

@iktomi76 Finding #2 will be pretty hard too... ;) It's S-950, SP is the 1200.

[f1av0rflave]

@iktomi76 2 turntables and a microphone..

[pimp0707]

J Hood used 2 Be The SHIT !!

[TheThumbsdown]

yeah dude he was.

[SCHMOOVNESS]

if u feel this beat ur a good human

[ChampUltra]

@SCHMOOVNESS aha

[nptrock]

@SCHMOOVNESS If u felt the beat you wouldnt even have to ask that question...come on, be honest..this is cold wack 4 Premier...period!

[CottageLife100]

@SCHMOOVNESS lol

[MyHipHopTunes]

Love it.

[NZTA80]

GREAT

[mafiaclick86]

sick beat. Premo GOAT! :)

[SwishNonStop]

this jus shows y j hood used 2 be dope

[RIPDAJ]

Some hard shitt !!!!

Premo GOAT

Peace from The Netherlands

[venamc]

uao!

[willybrown2309]

this beat is illll.

preem's the best that did it, and still doin it. Cut on the track, he black and bluein it!

[lawlroy]

yeah premier brings out the best in people

[PBODY20]

i agree with u!!

[shanklee]

j-hood and premier dont sound half bad......i'am impressed

[xxriccampbellaa]

he was signed to the lox but don't know what happened guess things didn't work out and he has skills to. must be hard for him now seeing how hip-hop is dead thanks to these kids and get money schemes fools like that 50 cent and that west dude one selling hardcore raps to white kids the other just turning pop rap and the rest of these kids just trash and garbage rap. what a shame what would b.i.g , big l, big pun, odb, e money bags would say right now.

[smrand2]

i love lox, love d block etc. but they were fucking j hood bad. it was just like the raping you records skits we used to laugh it. these guys were making tons of cash and he was broke living with his mom and eventually got pretty fed up with it. i like them all, wish they would call truce and work shit out but i really dont blame hood for getting pissed. anyone would in his shoes.

[xxriccampbellaa]

didn't know about that part being broke didn't think lox would jerk anybody

[smrand2]

a lot of the problems were with koch records. so koch records is the root of the problem, they are fucking with his money holding out on him. i know you can probably understand how god awful labels can be, ive had friends signed to major labels, they can be real grimey. days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months, all the while the other cats are balling. you can see where he'd get frustrated, starts feeling like what the fuck why arent these guys going to bat for me and shit. it is what it is

[OldboyLescott]

Anyone remember the Dre & D.O.C. situation - or am I too old? :))

[ALLEYCATZ1986]

word

[leunderground]

this beat is so crack... damn.. give up to preem!

j hood also is dope

great layback track!

gotta love that snare! lol

[jwhitdatman27]

J-Hood and Premo seems random to me but this beat goes hard and Hood definitely did his thing on this. I'm feelin the laid back flow on this for real....come check out my rhymes on my page and let me know what u think HOTTEST lyrics around J-WHIT

[a211zinprogress1]

you suck

[FunkDoctahSpot]

Yo heads definitely didn't see this coming at all. You can't touch Prem On the scratches just forget it and Jaehood one of nicest new heads to step on the seen.

[OzzleDozzle]

Premo makes everybody look good, his creativity is endless. Plus the illest scratches ever - props!!!

[brovasaif]

All Primo beats is crack. If you don't like it its not for everybody especially suckers Im in the streets all day my ninja!!!

[majstor037]

If this is Premo's beat, it's his only beat that I don't like :(

[STATUSthesleepers]

of course its a premo beat

[SKRiiLLa]

why cuz j-hood on the song? trust me bro you would hear worse from premo , nuttin new to anybody

[dknight416]

how this beat is root to raaaaaatid!

[acclaim1960]

I think this is one of Premier's better beats. It's more laid back and rhythmic than most of his tracks.

Usually listenin to Premo and all of his ominous sounding chops, I feel like Im about to be swarmed by Greek gods coming out of the thunderous clouds on chariots and shit but with joint you get a bouncy, easygoing yet hard feeling. The percussion is solid and it actually has a bassline that compliments the kick drum, which is rare for Primo.

Point blank , this joint go hard.....

[ekiller84]

aint nuttin wrong wit dis beat its straight ive heard worse!

[nptrock]

im dead serious...peeps will automatically say any preemo beat is dope, its not always the case..even tho he does more better beats than this..heads need to get off his dick so much, i mean..cmon...christina aguilera?? nuff said!

[poopheadIII]

Nice relax beat from primo on this one... laidback !!!

[daprophecy]

im probably the biggest primo fan out there...but i really aint feelin this joint. of course its in the direction of real hip hop, but that doesnt make it good every time.

[juicecrew1975]

Great beat....Is he J Hood from D Block?????

[dknight416]

Tune.

[nptrock]

not a great premier beat at all....he coulda done this much better...

[zacht112]

are you joking

[termenatorX]

its casue its j-hood obviously he gave him one of his worst beats im suprised hood even came up wit enough flow to get a preem beat,probly owed him a favor lol yea wack track

[brooklynnewsat6]

Come he dipped off D-block jada thats premos dude preme aint giving him a fat track.

[Retox72]

your mom could have done a lot better

[mbrodar1]

queeeeens

[cowgoesmoo1]

lmfao preemo is such a g he can do what ever he wants and not lose respect

[SKRiiLLa]

im not a j-hood fan but this tracc kinda nicce wit it . . . .

[knockthor]

nice premo

[jwhitdatman27]

Damn this eat goes hard and J-Hood did his thing. I like his laid back type of flow. Dj Premier is definitely one of the best to ever do it....come check out my rhymes on my page and let me know what u think J-WHIT

[antp626]

I'm feeling this right here Hood.

[KgK0]

that little jadakiss sample is from Gangstarr ft Jadakiss - Rite where you stand

[KgK0]

outrageous

[gitoblueeyes]

primo is a killaaa!!!!

[w1ktor]

not the best beat out of primo

[hoedang010]

probz for the beat

[Epe21]

Have anyone lyrics of this song?? :)

[k2joshdd]

write em down

[JaeTee5991]

he kinda reminds me of J. Dilla

[redsoxallstars]

yeah this premo beat is similar to dilla's style..both of 2 of the best to ever do it

[JaeTee5991]

you know if they ever did a track together? if so then its probably the hottest beat ever made.

[redsoxallstars]

nah i have never heard one...each of them were doin different things and dilla's career got cut way too short...while he was rollin with slum village and atcq plus many other detroit mc's, premo was doin his gangstarr thing and all the best from new york were payin mad for his beats...so its a shame

[JaeTee5991]

you right it did get cut too short.. but he layed it DOWN while he was still here. he is still like the number 1 producer ever, to me. lol

[redsoxallstars]

yeah man his sound is like no other, the way he was makin beats in the hospital at a rapid pace shows how hard working he was as an artist, personally i prefer the dj premier east coast style but they both legends to me

[THEMAYNE15]

ay i was wondering what are some good dilla songs but ive only heard one of his beats and thats The Pharcyde - Runnin can u help me out

[melanie514]

Check his discography on wikipedia you can see his production credits my personal favourite is Busta Rhymes"Turn Me Up Some" and the Pharcyde "She Said" Amsterdan remix.
