DJ Premier (Interview)

[Laloe382k]

ONE of the best yet!

[illuz1oN44]

was the best they still are man guru lives on!

[redjam40]

Tis is the truth - Dj Premier, Pete Rock, J Dilla and Marley Marl.... Those are the best of the best ...... within the History of making beats for Rappers or singers to do their stuff....

[420International]

Respect.

[NWO41508]

premier doesnt fuck around

[311Ceriah]

That shit he said about 9th wonder really had my eyes about to tear up..cuz its testament that Hip-hop of the early 90's is still evolving into the next generation. And to have Premier big you up....just made me genuinely feel good for 9th.

Peace to real Hip-Hop.

[DimportantONE]

1:Dj premier

2:RZA

3:Dr.Dre

best producers of all time

[speakwithyourfeet]

@DimportantONE havoc & alc forget about dre

[420International]

@DimportantONE I dunno man. I feel like Dilla shoulda been on that list. Premier of course. But the other two are up in the air.

[Wtfnotavailable]

I was pretty bummed when Guru passed, but I'll seriously be sad if Premo passes anytime soon. He's my favorite producer. He never ceases to amaze me.

[libbotoppo]

if its popular on the radio were not playin it

[matto09]

my knees hurt

[jman4298]

Dills better then all

[jman4298]

No dilla he betterb

[detroitMC313]

I still don't think 9th wonder should be placed up there with the legends.

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

Premier knew he wanted to laugh when he said "My Knees Hurt". But yeah, I'm not into that kiddish Hip Hop like that. Some of it is good but it's never going to be Hip Hop, trust me.

[lisaray101]

DJ premier can do NO wrong on beats.

[TEEYEASCHOOLS]

Everybody that's repeating DJ Premier saying "My Knees Hurt", yall ain't his AGE!

[aditouyube666]

Preem looks like a frog but make beats like a champ

[ogfunk187]

@aditouyube666 he sounds like a frog too, croaky!

[yahmon2112]

dj premier, is my favorite person. period.

[MrVocalist101]

peeemo!!!, im gonna come wiv the usual and say premier is the best producer but still recgnise alot of others like madlib, dilla and mix master, p and ninth but as far as style and originality goes this man cant be touched,,,..truth!!!!

[DAmagicsbackLA]

"He said i still know how to rip a show...even on a bad day" <<< true spoken words

[dannydsd]

Dj Premier RESPECT man ! can't tell you in words how much i respect you.

[KW631]

9th aint that sick

[RATMfan27]

master of producing/DJing right here

[proni1]

my knees hurt.

[Markuv6]

Livin' Legend!! Shoutout to Dj Premier.

[lbmadness]

I respect what hes doing, trying to avoid the mainstream garbage, but i think he should be producing tracks from mcs like nas, wu, the roots, az etc.. talented rappers that would kill a track produced by primo. its great that hes trying to give underrated rappers a chance but i think that with his talent he should be working with people of equal caliber

[MaddskillzUSA002]

RIGHT ORIGINAL

[JacobSackett]

I will always love Premier for being one of a handful of sublime producers, but most of all I will idolize him for his work on Jeru's album 'The Sun Rises in the East,' which I think may be the best - or at least the most underrated - rap tape ever.

[Streamline09]

Still my favorite. The way he laces tracks is supreme.

[sianhill89]

gotta love prem

[calico1248]

Im a young nigga. and i don't like that kiddy rap shit either. that shit is trash

[TheFUNKSTARR]

@calico1248 same, check ma channel for real hip hop and funk, by the way premo gets most of his samples from funk check it out!

[xmuscularghandix]

“...you know what i’m saying? my knees hurt”

lol

[bencrea1]

this 1 person is solar. gurus fake producer

[BaschVonRonsenburg]

Look at the dislikes... There's a HATER among us!!!

[Daryl93TillInfinitY]

1 dislike lol the person who disliked this is a legend

[TimothyOakes]

It's a shame to see the directon where hip hop is headed..he's one of the few left in my book as one of the best. 

[insideyourpants1]

"not at 41, u what im saying, my knees hurt"

[BaLlErRaMpAgE23]

1 Dum ass motherfucker dislikes this.

Shame on that Death motherfucker!!

[kinggaze4]

Look at him. Do he have any jewels on his neck? no? why? he dont need those cheap fake ass nigga shit. HE GOT OUR RESPECT. Peace Premo,keep it up.

[westwatford]

yes preemo you the man

[smokinballa415]

What i love is that he never says anything negative about newer rap, he just doesnt acknowledge it. Positive+dope+humble.

[TheRexxx23]

RESPECT!

[seboufdu59]

[Stanton02]

YEA IM 26 AND I CANT STAND THAT KIDDIE RAP SHIT I WANT THE REAL DEAL TRUE HIP 9TH WONDER , DJ PREMIER , ANALOGIC ETC ETC THEY KEEP THE MUSIC REAL

[RadReese73]

Preemo... u mah manz... interview on point!! Howeva the otha week u brought your first signed artist to the Chi, the white kid from Jerzy.... not a good idea. The kid was booed off stage u know what im talkin bout u literally almos had 2 cut him short he was booed so bad. Hopefully the kat from H-Town is better... Otha than that you rule the production game!

[joegbakrew]

ECSTASY!!!!

[CoolKodiak]

U rock man........

[sl2mmer]

shit, dude's like 44 now.. a little hard to believe.. all the rappers are getting kinda old, its weird

[tupac9322]

The best producer!

With Guru they was the best. RIP Guru!

[ts4357]

lol 3:36 premo is really uncomfortable cause that guy is touchin him

[blacknight811]

Haha "That ain't what I'll be doing.....my knees hurt!!!" You got that right brutha!

[afrosoda]

I still can't believe my mom grew up with this dude in Prairie View. Premo FTW

[jerzy862]

@afrosoda Dude, what did she say about him? what was he like?

[afrosoda]

@jerzy862 basically she said he's always been a real laid back & humble guy, real smart (as evident by his musical genius), and him and his fam were like cousins to us. I missed the chance to meet him at last year's homecoming @ Prairie View but I damn sure ain't missin this one

[jerzy862]

@afrosoda LUCKY BASTARD....hope you ask him some good questions haha

[afrosoda]

@jerzy862 lol I will. I was shook for a while when she told me they grew up together

[flocod2]

dj premier + 2pac = best

[stylusdef]

I like that Premier is so down-to-earth even though he is waaay above all other hip hop producers. Just look at Solar, that guy has the biggest ego ever even though everyone knows he is completely wack.

[Raksasa187]

"im 41, my knees hurt" whahahaha, classic Premo quote!!

[dineroRM]

This guy looks real chill and like he's just flowin w/ whatever life gives him hahaha

[Cylilbrium]

RIP to guru..

[mariarts]

THE ONLY HIPHOP SUPER PRODUCER

F that fake fool... i aint even gonna mention

[ForSPARTA877]

[FreshHipHopTrackz]

IF YOU RAP I GOT THE BEST BEATS AVAILABLE ON THE NET. I GUARANTEE ALL THESE BEATS ARE FIRE I GOT WHAT YOU NEED.

Beatwriterz <<<google that and click the 1st result to check out the beats.

[doorslammerules]

[BiRdOfPrEynumber8]

3:28. premos fuckin funny. 'let da kids buy dey li'l kiddy rap...i aint mad at none a dat' he set it straight. hip hop is divided in 2 these days, 'real shit' and 'bull shit'.

[gza333]

serious man does serious work!

[DAI3792]

"a lot of my friends are dead" hes the real deal

[MaDDoG1112222]

keep on droppin booms premo am realy sick of this clowns that call them selfs rappers we need more MC's to lift up the black community

[darrylbaby18]

please GURU, please holla at premo again, cause I want anotha gangstarr album again and again and again

[nickyvtown]

Gurus alright hes out of the coma and surgery

[DRzCalderon]

He is an instrumental genius. Long live Gangstarr.

[danynumero6]

damn I hope Guru will be ok soon, I wonder whats going on in Premo's mind right now

[logikorganik]

3:25 "We dont play no kiddie rap" lol! Thats the truth.

[highfidelity1989]

[ownage369]

'My friends are dead...' LOL.

[elcolomorales]

[HipHopHead5611]

[ThePiercepick]

thats ecstasy homie!

[hejmanden]

HAHA, premier is on coke or sumthin in this interview.

[mladigospon]

Preems right. We've got a market for adults and people who get deep in the culture, and you've got kiddie rap. And whats up with all that hip hop is dead crap ? It may be fucked up at the moment, but it'll get better eventually.

[DCP1292]

northiee you are a waste of peoples time. why dont you just watch the interview instead of focusing on how hes chewing his gum.

[baglygten]

He is the boss!

[enox199419]

@baglygten YEEEEAH!

[SuperBitchCircus]

@northieee Huh? What does that even mean?

[northieee]

Whats not to get? It means, he chews like a hoe!

[SuperBitchCircus]

@northieee A "hoe" is a garden tool. I'm assuming you meant ho', which is short for hooker. In which case, since when do prostitutes have a certain way of chewing that differs from regular women?

[northieee]

LOL! its clear you have not seen a bitch chew. They do it to attract attention.

[scratchneck]

living legend of the game

[DaCosmicCat]

You can tell DJ Premier puts every bit of his passion into music, and that's what it's all about.. PASSION. If you got a passion and drive for something..You will exceed and surpass al the mediocrity, of course it's not easy to do... I'm from Japan, so everything is of the utmost highest quality.. (Despite Toyota's Ailing Reputation) LOL

[DjMikeRoc]

This guy is a genius!! Love this man!!

[JayDMc]

you know what im sayin, my knee's hurt. haha

[DjMontana42X]

"Pete hes just so fuck... f...funky man!"

[brummygaz]

Kiddie Rap!!

Prem telling the truth & the truth hurts!

Old skool hip hop beats will never be beat....

[TheNizah]

i laughed so hard when he said "im 41 my knees hurt."

[themartinmanisdead]

"I'm not pop locking and dropping my knees hurt"

[nevawrong]

[leopardgrelli]

[westside159]

Gangstarr need to make another album , Guru need to step the game up .. Premier is been dope

[nevawrong]

[kirby7979]

3:15....Real talk

[BL4Lnigga]

Premo a genuis

[3wking]

[yogsbear]

[BL4Lnigga]

[samuraikills]

[ShadowRAAM]

DJ Premier = Best Producer alive!

[fckcok]

[danynumero6]

[ShadowRAAM]

yeah i agree not just alive he is also the best producer ever!

[MidlandKruiskade]

@danynumero6 What about J Dilla, Rza & Pete and don't forget Large Professor

[danynumero6]

@MidlandKruiskade oh dont get me wrong they are definitely all up there, but Premo imo is the best

[DaAncientz]

@danynumero6 rated number one hip hop producer of all times by rolling stones (Y)

[DickyMoe1]

@ShadowRAAM HHHHHhmmmm,one of 'em i was feelin' Pete Rock back in the day too.

[ShadowRAAM]

@DickyMoe1 yeah me too he is my second favorite after premo. Anyway DJ Premier is my favorite producer but there's so many talented producers... Stoupe, RZA, Nujabes, Madlib, J Dilla, Havoc, Dr. Dre...

[ShadowRAAM]

LOL!

[Conceptskatemedia]

Legend right there!

[ImDino]

alchemist and premier are the best i think

[tony7tisdale]

ImDino, good thinking!

[DCP1292]

Beats by premo are so supremo

[manhbx96]

DJ Premier is a legend Premier makes classics 1000% percent he is the owner of classic hip hop

[AllStar9512]

my favorite dj

[ProofHipHop]

primo 4 life real hiphop

[publica74]

Thank God for DJ Premier!

[WFZugz]

lol. . . . I love his face at the very end after he finishes talking

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

I don't know why people put 9th up there with Pete and Preemo. His beats are just alright.

[detayl03]

I kinda dig what you saying, yo. PR & Preemo are innovators and legends. But 9th is what they were for the 90's. 9th, Madlib, them niggas are keeping that raw authentic Hip-Hop sound going.

[pmscooby]

"My knees hurt" Aaaahahaha! Preemo is the undisputed king of hip hop. Nobody has a better grasp of what hip hop is supposed to be than this man, and after all this time he is still releasing absolute classic tracks and working with amazing rappers that spit for the love of the music and not all for the money. Living legend!

[34Illmatic]

"Let the kids buy the kiddie rap" - Premo

As someone who grew up on Premier beats, I love hearing that. I still remember taking the cellophane off my "Moment of Truth" CD 11 years ago almost to this day! Best album ever to me. It made a huge impact on me.

I hope all my real hip hop friends reading this cop that if they haven't already

[eponymdu69]

your french hiphop brother agrees with u =)

[34Illmatic]

With real hip hop heads like you and me, hip hop will live forever. Check out the new Blaqpoet album (I bought it; love it. There's an instrumental version of the album; nothing but Premier beats. You'll love it.) Peace.

[gmartnz1994]

amazing

[34Illmatic]

I got mad love for DJ Premier. The coolest and best producer period. Humble as ever too. Premo 4 life!

[mostlynoble]

Simple aint it....but quite clever...

[huggs678]

i hate kiddie rap and im 14 years old and all my life i've been listening to real hip hop

[nevawrong]

stop lying, you know you listen to soulja boy youngtsa, lol lol ha ha : )

[Brost31]

"Comin up Sept. 11, of all days, but we drop bombs too you know"

lol

[Soulfab]

[Kosmonauts112]

Dj premier is legend. He is reason why underground is so hot !

[DZA9mm]

Preme is the same age as my DAD lol

[Theshiznitman]

[kihnu]

damn , i couldnt believe hes 41 , alive and still kickin

[benhoughton88]

haha it will be funny when all these hip hop dudes are 70, just like all the old jazzers these days

[kanarvin]

What song is he talking about when he mentions pete used the same sample?

[kanarvin]

Rza will go down as my favorite producer of all time since hes produced sooo much quality ish, but ive been bangin gangstarr for so long and premo pioneered that sample shit, legend..

[sjeweettoggg]

RZA is 2th man, seriously, just look at how many shit preem made, and they all fucking sick... I never heard a preemo beat that sucked...
