DJ Premier Speaks On Jay-Z Nas & Lil Wayne [www.HipHopsHome.com]

[lac2500]

every fuckin story i hear about Jay-Z he's a hollywood ass bitch...how you not gonna call up Primo and tell him some shit? when he's one of the first guys to co-sign the start of your career

[crocop4life]

he say jay and nas were young to him cos he 42 but aint jay the same age as premier?

[al3xrmz]

In other words Premier, Lil Wayne and Drake Suck balls.

[pancizl]

jay-z only works with profesional people like dr.dre,timbaland,...with real producers not with average producer who take sample and ad a kick and snare which premier is known for.....

[YoUnGSpaCeLY92]

@pancizl But his most classic shit is over premier beats....do your homework lol

[Pai001]

@pancizl you out of your mind premier's chops are ill. u talkin bout dre, he good but leon haywood i wanna do something freaky he didnt even add drums.

[pancizl]

@Pai001 I respect primo but in reality he have only underground hits thats it,,same kick same snare and sample,...Keep their heads ringin got so many sounds in it like dj premier ALL beats together,...checkmate

[kcazlil]

Wait? The legend DJ Premier co-signs Wayne.

I'm pretty sure I care more about a hip hop legends opinion, than some 18 year old nerds opinion on a rapper.

[pie1743]

big man nas is the greatest mc ever... fuck jay z bitch ass, dynasty was trash. blueprint yes!

[baekho10]

nas get on this shit,ur shits been whack for awhile now

[slick1hit]

@baekho10 nas been wack for a while now? nigga smack ya self

[joeysteez1]

@baekho10 hes commin out with a tripple album titled Life Is Good

[syseone]

premo will be making beats until he's sixty, and i will be bangin' 'em.

[S2RMYO]

I would give my left arm for a Premo beat!

[MrBaxMusic]

ha ha I pee standing up, I'm a man

[ctballer32]

wat beat was it that jay z didnt want. i know i heard it but i dont remember

[nickbutkowski]

@ctballer32 boom - royce 5'9

[JBtheLAMBO]

yesssssss WHY NAS? PLEASE DO AN ALBUM WITH THESE PEOPLE, YOU WILL MAKE ANOTHER CLASSIC, GUARANTEED

[ThumbsUpMike]

I dont see why Nas doesnt get back with all the producers from Illmatic....like it makes no sense!

i know Nas loves to take new and different directions but the fans want you back the producers from Illmatic and make a new major hip hop album in these dark times

[ChimaTheKilla]

@ThumbsUpMike exactly if he does that he will has an illmatic 2

[ChimaTheKilla]

@ThumbsUpMike I think if some of his fans send him a letter about it he will get the message

[juljim]

@ThumbsUpMike lol



[ShookOnes92]

@ThumbsUpMike Hip hop has changed youve stated the obvious even underground artists dont go on old school beats it just wound work in this day an age

[speeddemon002]

Hahaha look at premo's face when he talks about lil wanye he looks like he in discust hahahaha wanye is still wack i dont care wat anyone says his lyrics are stupid n his whole braggin shit is played out i stick to oldskool fuck all new shit its all clonny phonny

[thehookla]

Nas and Primo perfect couple.......really nas flows to his best on primo beats. i wish they could be the new Gangster....

[cKunke2]

@thehookla Gang Starr** :)

[HipHopQuebecois101]

Best and Realest producer right here . Truly Legendary .

[WilizmEnt]

0:37 real talk

[QuoteNotes16]

this why i love preemo,just so cool,,what jay z did was a first class bitchmoove,1 of the reasons why many real hiphopheads dont respecet him,but yeah would love to see a illmatic 2,you can see preemo is excited about it too,like us,love it,peace to preem

[I96West]

Primo gives props where props is due, but u wont see primo bangin a lil wayne album in his whip.. i really wish Nas would do wat primo says n make a classic album again, that shit would be knockin hard

[dboom101]

Nas i hope your watching this. PLEASE go back into the booth with premo, tip and pete rock, Premos down!

[Quikster220]

And there you have it... praising Lil Wayne... Primo that is... what the haters gotta say now? Im curious...

[UltraKid808]

@Quikster220,

co-sign

[pro404]

i don't buy many albums but i would buy that album

[OneBigMyoma]

Damn, why is nobody talking about this? Nas needs to get the old team back - there's a reason his first 2 albums were so good. AND all those dudes are still making fresh beats today... c'mon man.

[HipHopisforever90s]

THE GOD OF BEATS.

[Liago4]

Yo OMG i say that shit all the fuckin time, Nas be trippen cause Premier is telling the truth If nas made another album with the original team of producers from illmatic and they really really went in on that shit and it was even close to the classic status of illmatic every damn rapper in the game even Jay z would have no choice but to get on their knees and bow to that dude cause lyrically nas does not fail you but he comes wit sum shitty beats

[WiseUp89]

@Liago4

the point of "shitty beats" (i.e. East Coast beats from the '90s) are meant to take the focus off the beats and make you focus on the lyrics

[Liago4]

@WiseUp89 i agree but i think old school beats were the greatest but at the same time still low key enough to make the MC shine now some of nas beats are not even mediocre but i think the last 2 he is starting to rise again

[WiseUp89]

@Liago4

definitely bro,

my favorite era of hip hop is the 90s,

i started listening to Wu-Tang back when i was in middle school back in 2001

almost ten years later I still love their "36-Chambers" production

[reneperez50]

man illmatic just had talent on everthing album cover,beats,nas,i mean just illmatic=hip hop

[leonmccollum1994]

well hopefully the next one will be ,im pretty sure Qtip if he was asked wud do it,preemo said so and if professor saw wat was going down he wud come,and to make it perfect dey might bring in kool g rap maybe AZ wich wud be amazin and if they took the time they cud bring bak damien and look out 4 sum yung cats like immortal technique amd saigon and quan and u know u gotta put jay on dere,and make like a 20 track list,BAM greatest album of all time,cud even top illmatic

[svoksis]

DJ PREMIER HAS NO HATERS

[jayrush93]

U don't know rap if u claim Wayne!!!

[jayrush93]

What's funny bout Cassidy?? He was a ghost writer fir RR thru Swiss!!!

[jayrush93]

Wayne gets put on by the industy, he sells cus he sold out!!! But trust me, any real hip hop head knows Wayne is GARBAGE!!!!

[thug8200]

@jayrush93 u sound funny u heard prem

[QuoteNotes16]

@jayrush93 hell yeah,preemo knows it,but hes just a cool man,dont like to spread shit and start beef with any body,thats what i lvoe about him

[Mistercai22]

@monnett14

I almost completely agree with u 100%. And DJ Premier onna da realist niggas eva

[Monnett14]

@weezydrakeyoungmoney- Wayne isn't better than Jay or Nas, but hes better than almost everybody else.

[theprophet160]

i have to agree with him saying nas should do another album with tip, large pro, pete rock, and himself

that would be so fucking dope, i would annihilate my pants if that happened

[superlyrical1987]

they both need to fuck with premo again...

[Zmw192]

hip hop stories are the best kinda stories

[MrSexysagittarius]

i agreed wit him until he got to lil wayne....lil wayne sucks & he was never good

[kwelan]

@MrSexysagittarius Lill Wayne is the most mediocre overhyped rapper of the 21st century.... why the hell dont people see it.

[MrSexysagittarius]

@kwelan bcuz ppl are retarded...lil wayne rambles about nothin & ppl think he "goes ham"

[WeezyDrakeYoungMoney]

@kwelan

Because it's not true. Wayne is 1 of the Top 10 rappers of all time

[kwelan]

@WeezyDrakeYoungMoney crack is wack... so is wayne... you should leave both of them alone 

[WeezyDrakeYoungMoney]

@kwelan

That explains why KRS-One, Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas, Kanye West, Ludacris, TI, Fat Joe, Juelz Santana, Noreaga, The Game to name a few ALL say that Wayne is either the best rapper in the game or one of the best. Idiot.

[kwelan]

@WeezyDrakeYoungMoney that is only because the "game" is so over-saturated with mediocrity so its not that hard to be the best in the game when the rest of these rappers are wack. he is ass but to an idiot like you hes prolly spittin some hot shit... oh and your name being WeezyDrakeYM... GAY

[NewYorkStateOfCrime]

@WeezyDrakeYoungMoney Crazy man. None of them would admit to that.

[WeezyDrakeYoungMoney]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime

Really? Check your personal messages.

[NewYorkStateOfCrime]

@WeezyDrakeYoungMoney Its apart of the business side of hip-hop. Lil wayne sells so they say hes good so they can put tracks out and make money off of him. Theyre not gonna say Lil wayne is okay or not better then me. You really believe Lil Wanye is better then Jay-z? Nas? Jadakiss? LLoyd Banks? Papoose? Cassidy?

[WeezyDrakeYoungMoney]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime

Yup, better than all those guys except Nas.

Cassidy? LMFAO.

[herespyro99]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime to me papoose and nas are living legends

[thedevo01]

@WeezyDrakeYoungMoney

Says the media you apparently love sucking on.

[ogfunk187]

The bigger the ears, the bigger the tunes.

[splifferdelthathug]

New York State of Mind blew my head away. Preem and Nas killed the whole fuckin hip hop genre back then. Wish they'd make together music again...

Question: Has Nas beef with Wayne? They were dissin each other, but Wayne is featured on the Distant Relatives album as far as i know.

[TheNazarethSavage]

imagine if nas worked with some good producers again

[mistask8a]

thats the way i always felt about lil wayne.but i think he doesn't deserve all the success he has.

[jaoyu]

Look at promo on "take it personal" track wit guru, and look how old he looks now

Times change.......

He still an ill producer though

[mistask8a]

lol he looked like tiger woods in that vid..

[jaoyu]

@mistask8a lol true but still alot younger then now

[vidiot67]

fuck wayne. kid's gunna get his shit pushed in prison haha. lil bitch more like it.

[dknight416]

yeeeee another illmatic... lil wayne sucks.. -.-

[N0zix420]

damn premo i agree 100% nas should do an album with you large professor and q-tip

[BRP1968]

Yo...

EVERBODY peep the HUMILITY Primo comes with.

This is a straight up, 100%, grown assed man, who overstands his place in the culture, respects and appreciates the love he gets from peers and fans alike, and plays his lane by comin 1000% every time, out of the gate.

Humility like that is the greatest greatness.

Big up and much respect to Primo.

[OriginalSamples]

e x a c t l y

[bdailey412]

@BRP1968 god damn you gone spit or swallow u suckin his dick tooooo fuckin hard!!!!! a whole paragraph on how great he is have u ever even met him?

[BRP1968]

@bdailey412 Actually...I have met him. It was outside a venue in Manhattan after a show (I forget which). But, how's my acknowledgement of his humility in light of his status in the culture "suckin his dick"? Other artists and producers give the same acknowledgement...would you say they are "suckin his dick" as well?

For that matter...I have never met you...but you spit negative at me...(?)

Your disrespect is really uncalled for.

[LRTWR]

@bdailey412 It's called showing respect, having respect for a person. What you know about that? Get the fuck back listening to that Jason deroulo or someshit you aint supposed to be on here.

[hotsauce3087]

@bdailey412 , who the fuck are you, abused as a child, your momma slap you and call you ugly, whatchu smilin about homo.... aint a damn thing funny.

And yes I have also had the priveledge to meet Premo, maybe thats why your hating b/c you havent been able to suck his dick yet.... idk but Live in SF at the Temple got his autograph, real humble.... played an awesome set, very energetic, very humble and a FUCKING LEGEND!!! MUch love PRIMO and to Guru, One Love !!!!!

[BRP1968]

@hotsauce3087 Much respect.

[Imaaze2]

DJ Premier for ever, he is one of the few DJ's who keep it real and dont change styles on beats.

And fuck lil gayne that faggot pop fuck

[Asolovieff38]

He's accomplished all he has today because of Large Professor though.

[STATUSthesleepers]

ahaha i pee standin up

[grgson1]

2:14

that would be great!

[pin9617]

DJ Premier & RZA are the best two producers in the history on Hip-Hop!!!

[godzman7]

true!!!!

[juicecrew1975]

@pin9617 rza???????.......i think that pete rock,ditc,beatminerz,erick sermon,hi tek,the ummah,dj muggs,large professor,marley marl are BETTER than rza.

[kuriosity89]

@juicecrew1975

agreed but to each their own. ppl react to beats differently. RZA is great coz he's a multi-instrumentalist so even ppl who ain't fans of Hip Hop can appreciate what he's doing. Just like Hi-Tek. A great producer is an innovator, and all those u mentioned are that, but don't outlaw RZA when he's done so much for production in Hip Hop.

[ThaLover69]

the one and only, dj premier best dj i've ever heard in my entire life this guy is just too sick

[mrcapablanca]

When MC's get tired of bullshitin' and need a hot track, this is the man they call.

[merkseason09]

the greatest producer

[baron12345678910]

yes

[darkhorse2012]

agreed he is the greatest producer

[hollandt3692]

Best Producer

[HipHopAndDubstep]

Premo is a living legend, and he talks sense.

[NinoBrown23]

word up to Large Professor

[TheNizah]

Nas, AZ, Preem, Pete, Tip, Large Pro, and LES. i wish this would happen. i feel proud as a fan to even hope for this. but im probably just gonna hav to keep dreamin

[Broyale26]

Don't forget Chucky Thompson. Why people sleep on him I will never know.

[kalel8188]

i would like to see an AZ & Nas Collabo again..with one of premo's commendable beats..it would be classic

[ucmc45]

imagine illmatic 2.that's what primo was talking about.

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

stillmatic was alrdy nas' illmatic 2 but if he can do a throwback album with the classic sampling and gritty drums then ya id love that

[TheNizah]

but do a true illmatic 2. not a sequel to stillmatic.

[namkooc]

dynasty were'nt that good

[DrewCS2]

Thank you DJ premier. well said.

[jhan86]

I wish I can meet DJ Premier. The best hip-hop producer, period.

[LOUIE23ish]

nas has too do an album with premo,pete rock,large pro,l.e.s. back for another classic album

[nas1on1]

preem help bring back breakdancing.

you killin the tables still.

[melongwashere]

he lookes like a grown cory gunz

[jizzy2sexi]

lol

[DomincanXpanther]

anybody here the bootleg nystate of mind beat in the background

[detumus]

nas needs 2 get at premo 4real my nigg nas needs 2 stop working with these ok producers & start fucking with the greats again 4fuckin real

[MisterBings]

Large Professor has a beat called "Xtra P for President". I would love to hear Nas on that track.

[Davemo69]

aww man this guy makes so much sense, its wat all the fans want we want nas and jay on his beats and them classic beats . likea beat has to sound good but more than that it has to give a vehicle for better rappin look at eminem the way i am it sounds ok that piano loop but the beat is tehre and something for eminem to rip his raps on, and pri mo wen he does the cuttin and shit u kant help but rap good sometiems i heard a xzibit trak with preme x was back u know

[cookiesncreme99]

sorry Dre,

but Premier is the best Hip Hop DJ/Producer of all time!

[DaClown21]

Thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;)

[thug8200]

@cookiesncreme99 nah its da dre my nigga

[bdailey412]

@cookiesncreme99 fuck outta here ...trifelin ass boi... that sounds stupid. but this fucker premier is Great but he's takin dis like a bitch... he so used to people ridin his dick and shining his balls he cant take it when niggas pass on his shit.

[thug8200]

@cookiesncreme99 na dre is

[PacEmWeezy]

@cookiesncreme99 haha nop Dr. Dre is a beast

[frankcastle139]

AZ/NAS collabo album with Premo and that whole team producing please

although Distant Relatives (Nas/Damian Marley) is an unexpected gift. can't wait for that

[j290100]

please nas...DO IT!!!

[micafonist]

that last part sounded fake! you see the look in the end, like okay i said it, you happy

[blackrap112]

hes tryna say nas dont deliver...

smd dj priemier

wasit till nas die...ya gon see his worth

[ProjektXero91]

Sorry dude but he's older albums with the old team were the shit.

[Fresh8332]

if nas did that......he wood be the realest mc and it wood be illmatic all over again which iz in my opinion the best album in hip hop

[baltimoreblitz16]

Nas should do it again then!

I can see it now! Nas in Queenbridge next to his old apartment building looking like a king up for the record cover.

Even doe Nas is always saying "I'm not looking back" or "That was the past" when the people you started with wants you to do it again for the good old days then maybe you should do it. I hope he can see past what ever he is on right now and just do it again.

[MicJar3743]

Bumpy Knuckles addresed what Premo is talking about in "Lazy". Bumpy went at these rappers that get a Premo beat and can't do nothing with it. They want Premo's production to carry the song.

"Everybody I know, everybody we know

Wanna spit a rhyme to a beat by the Premo

But everybody I know and everybody you know

Know that's one thing everybody can't do though".

[elee725]

nas and preem were separated at birth. listen to their collabos, those guys were meant for each other.

[thegoldenhero]

lmao totally agree

[Seany06]

We can only dream of a new Nas album produced by them!! if only. ... Coulda sworn I'd heard there was going to be one produced by Pren a couple of years ago.

Oh yeah, Lil Wayne is garbage.

[loscaribespr]

lmaoo i agree lil wayne is garbage

[ThaLover69]

imagine if premo could make lil wayne beats i'm sure people would start to like lil wayne only because of premo beat

[loscaribespr]

wayne is gaabage with or without premo

[mikeandrakeem]

people get off the soapbox. Premo obviously was speaking out of professional respect for Wayne, even though Premo must know that his content is sub-par, he still gives the respect that Wayne deserves. This cat is obviously an old hip-hop head, so he doesn't want drama that can possibly come in the way of professional relationships.

[LilCamo]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[nptrock]

GET REAL!...premier wouldnt of even dreamt of sayin that back in between "Mr. Nice Guy--Hard To Earn" days, about some wack ass watered down Hip Hop...see what the fuck is goin on these days...??????????

[treeZon1]

preeemoo

[wonderataoldotcom]

listen because i know the answer to why he said what he said... i can picture the camera man or guy running the interview saying at the end, okay, complement lil wayne and make him look good, or no interview/ endorsement. sure premier would never work with him, and he knows hes trash, uprooting everything premier and other greats (dont want a list but nas and jay are there) have done for hip hop. still hes made to say it. made nas say it too in another interview. so fight the man, $ isnt talent!

[namhtran]

Lil wayne has potential

[RetardedPeopleLegion]

most improvedw as like given to the reatrds at my school. congrats weezy do your thing.

[theedjkingtey]

that was dope when preem said the n!gg@ album didn't drop.i agree, im a big nas fan but the untitled album was i ight,i still listen to it,but only cuz its nas. not cuz it was off the hook. i think preem brings the best out of nas, sorta like the jay z beef did. preem is off the muthafuckn hook.

[hotmilkshack]

i like how premier says wayne improved his talen, but lil wayne says he is the best ever!. i jus hope wayne and premier would never do a collabo together. but as for wayne you can be the best when you got rappers like Big daddy kane

[RetardedPeopleLegion]

i became scared of big daddy kane when i saw pics of him naked in madonna's book SEX oh my god im still horrified till this very day.

[hotmilkshack]

i met lil wayne cant be the best when you got rappers like big daddy kane

[shkittle07]

Come on son,

You Sleppin on the UNTITLED ALBUM by NAS

[utubemyspaceaim]

untitled was great, what's premo talking about

[SowlMusicFan]

Wow! This is jut an opinion but,

I was just thinking of whats missing in TODAYS HipHop. Producers need to be hungry again. I understand "if the check is right then whatever" but the reason wht albums with different producers (in the earlier days) were so good was because, they were challenging each other in the studio. We are definitly missing that now. The last great (MULTI-PRODUCED) album for me is still, Mos Def: Black On Both Sides

[Throwbacc7]

I agree with you FUlly!!!!

[dvhufucvhivhxf]

Legend

[Blasphemy5]

dynasty album was incredible indeed.

[Im2pimpin]

Idunno why dj premier would even like lil wayne lol. But he made other good points on everything else tho

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

I think its crazy that dudes like hov and nas barely/not work with premo at all cuz all their classic songs "NY state of mind", "nas is like", "d'evils", "so ghetto", "million and one questions" are produced by him, not saying they dont make dope music without hit beats but why not make more classics with premier?

[thespursareadynasty]

i agree man. the reason nas dont use premo beats like he used to is cuz he's still trying to be relevant. he dont want to be labled as an old school rapper. and as dope as premo is his beats have an old school vibe that dont always cut it with the new generation. thats why nas new album has production from more current dudes like pallow da don and kanye. it makes sense nas is just changing with the times. but he still shuld have a couple premo tracks on his next album.

[rymena]

actually man right around the time that nas last album dropped he said he wanted to have an album completely produced by premier and an album completely produced by dr.dre and drop them both on the same day.

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

Word i feel ya on the staying relevant part but nas hasnt had premier on a joint since stillmatic back in 2001, i think he should definately sprinkle some nasty nas here and there to show he is as good as he was on the same production tip in the early 90s. Kinda like how Em goes back to Slim Shady, a lot of fans only like his slim evil killa shit but he still goes back with Dr. Dre and resurrect that feeling

thats just my opinion tho, i still buy nas cds without preem cuz nas is ill without him

[thespursareadynasty]

ye i agree wit u im not sayin he shuldnt work wit premo no more i was just explainin why he dont. next album he should have at least a couple joints with a premo illmatic throwback vibe.

[dlacc187]

kanye only produced on HHID...not on "untitled".

[dj504dj]

i swear to G-O-D I had the same thoughts this morning... we need another Illmatic... preemo, pete rock, large professor and q-tip.... i swear to christ i had this exact thought this morning. I know nas wants it.... he probably just needs to sell the idea to the business guys

[amaaramore]

He could if he wanted to but he doesn't....idk why it's a good idea though.

[iHipHop]

those niggas are big names now

those beats are expensive.

[Sinosure]

Preemo is 42 & he will still be puttin' them out at 50 people! Real talk!
