About that story, it has an ending. You know DJ Premier thought in the beginning (just like me) that Fred Durst is a clown. But after the produced songs he came more positive in the picture. Well, I forgot this interview with Freddie Foxx… Fred Durst is still a clown. Nuttin’ changed, he actually mislead Premo. Here is a short part of the interview:
Freddie Foxxx – Like when I talk about Fred Durst. I think he’s a cocky bastard who thinks he’s bigger then everybody. He indicated that in the way he treated Premier when Premier reached out for him to try to put down a Gangstarr Foundation label with him. He was with it at first, but then he backed out and didn’t return his calls and it was real foul how he treated him.
ThaFormula – So Fred Dursts’ bitch ass dissed Premier huh?
Freddie Foxxx – Yeah, big time.
ThaFormula – But why would you wanna hook up with a chump like that anyway?
Freddie Foxxx – But see the thing is it was business. Premier was sayin’ “listen I got this label with all these hot rappers on it. You fund it and let’s make money. You don’t have to be involved. Nobody needs Fred Durst input. I told Premier, “yo dog I’m only gonna fuck with the situation if you do you. I’m not fucking with him directly cause he ain’t really Hip-Hop. He’s using Hip-Hop to get a platform to do other shit like Kid Rock did. So fuck them! I’m really about my culture and about what this music is about. Fuck all them clowns man.

I can't believe Fred Durst is even a topic, I would think you know what time it is when it comes to him, but Freddie Foxxx builds on how it was business.
I have to say nothing they have done has made think they deserve the credit they get, I work mainly with rock bands as tour manager and as well as a booking agent.
I wish it were different but I have met a lot of folks who are really nice and take me out with them when they tour and a few more that let me book their tours. I would never get in bed with Fred Durst….I wish things had panned out different for Premier.
