Is Gang Starr Back? Pt. 2

Hmm, something isn’t right over here… Guru deleted his tweets and putted a new one. Lemme send some mails or time will tell.

UPDATE: DJ Premier manager Phat Gary aka Gary Bond told us that their is no reunion between Premo and Guru. But that was logical. What is Guru planning? Here you have an old interesting interview of Guru where he told us that there is no beef between DJ Premier and him (which is hardly to believe) and where he said if there would be a Gang Starr reunion (which is possible), it would be on 7Grand Records.

A Red Bull Music Academy Interview

This is 2 year old interview token by The Red Bull Academy. It contains two hours of material. You know what also contains two hours (or one?) of material with DJ Premier? That Peter Rosenberg interview where you had to pay to come, he said the video was almost ready. I thought that was called Noisemakers? We only saw 10 min? Bleh Peter!

Oh, and you can download the mp3 version here and not only DJ Premier had his interview, also ?uestlove, Arabian Prince, Black Milk, Blu & Exile, Bun B, Chuck D, DJ Red Alert, Nicolay, Nottz, Oh No, Phonte, Prince Paul and even Joe Bataan & Sir Mix-a-Lot together with many other international artists, hours and hours of film! Who took this all? Here you have the link.

Is Gang Starr Back?

Don’t get all excited, but Guru said on twitter Gang Starr is back. Gotta love this twitter stuff, how much closer will we get to someone with this internet thing? But the best part is you control it, but it has no limits. Enough philosophical shit, I’m sure Guru just saying he and Superproducer Solar are back with Gang Starr like in this interview where he said he was influenced by Lady Gaga: “I am Gangstarr. It’s happening now as we speak. It’s me baby! Come to a show and watch me perform Mass Appeal”. Imagen Guru making a new Gang Starr album with Superproducer Solar, meh, better then nothing! The question remains!

Royce da 5’9″ – Something 2 Ride 2 (Feat. Phonte)

Wheeeee, this is my shit!! Like I said, I needed to post this shit this week!! I love Royce for putting Phonte on the track for sure!! New week present, get it and play it one week straight y’all hear:

Royce da 5’9″ – Something 2 Ride 2 (Feat. Phonte)

Support “Street Hop” 20th Oct !! Btw, DJ Premier said 6 tracks (I think he incl. “Ding!” and “Hit ‘Em“), so that counts 2 + the 3 tracks on “Street Hop” “Hood Love“, “Shake This” and “Something 2 Ride 2” + the track that isn’t released because Royce (or his label) didn’t want to pay for the sample. Yes, that counts 6!

Royce da 5’9″ – Hood Love (Feat. Bun B & Joell Ortiz) (Final Mix)

Never had this before, hours after the radio rip I leaked the album cut got leaked. October 20th, support that shit! I love this track just like my hood:

No DJ Premier on Christina Aguilera’s Next Album

Yes, it’s true! No DJ Premier on Christina‘s Aguilera next album! From the 9 records Preem recorded with Aguilera none of them will be featured on the upcoming album, that is what he said in an interview with Conspiracy Radio last night. The reason why the tracks won’t be featured is cause it won’t fit with the idea and concept of the album, which is futuristic. But DJ Premier assured us that further collaboration is possible in the far future, like with her upcoming movie project “Burlesque. God please, leak those tracks. A lot of people will be pissed I think.

Premo also told us that Nick Javas is getting ready to drop his 12inch and that Gemcrates is signed to Works of Mart. Ow yeah, interesting note about the “Mr. Magic Salute Intro” he did last week: it was created in 20min, he took the beat from his “Beats That Collected Dust Vol. 2” and did his thing. No notes on when that is going to be released. Further Conspiracy Radio discussed -in the 30min interview on the phone- the deaths of Mr. Magic, Roc Raida and DJ AM. After that we got the interesting questions about the KRS-OneOutta Here (Demo)track, Royce’s “Street Hop“, and wondering if their were any updates on the Nas and Gang Starr project. Hear it yourself:

Big shout out to the people of Conspiracy Radio, thank you!

Royce Da 5’9″ – Hood Love (Feat. Bun B & Joell Ortiz) (Final Mix) (Radio Rip)

What did DJ Premier played today on his show? The final mix of “Hood Love” that includes scratches and Joell Ortiz! This will be the last track on Royce da 5’9″ upcoming most anticipating album “Street Hop“. Preem really switched his style up for “Street Hop”, it’s like he wanted to bring the emotional Royce for us. And I’m loving it, I already know “Something 2 Ride” with Phonte will be my favorite! But don’t worry if you want hardcore Royce, for those tracks he hired Streetrunner and Mr. Porter. I should expect the Phonte track this week, now enjoy this final mix of “Hood Love”:

KRS-One – Outta Here (Demo Version)

A Mr. Magic (R.I.P.) diss! I know it got leaked before I started this blogshit, but what the heck, now that we are reminiscing the Mr. Magic I felt like uploading this shit again. Pretty rare, large props from me to whoever uploaded this (seems like a radio rip). I’m wondering what DJ Premier‘s thoughts were in the studio, but he was just glad he could worked with KRS-One (at that time) I guess. Or was it maybe his decision to release the proper version? Eargasm:

DJ Premier – Mr. Magic Salute Intro

Ripped from the tribute mix by DJ Premier that I ripped last week, it was shared on enough sites though but people still asked for it so here is the mp3! I’m asking myself how much time Preem put in this, another reason to be a fan of Premo! Enjoy the excellent quality of paid satellite radio:
