What a smart man, realistic about everything. Props don’t pay the rent and very open for all kinds of music.
A true hero and example.
Well, Looks like ill be sampling some Roy tonight.
More and more “DJ Premier Blog” is posting stuff that has nothing to do with Prem. Give us Premo news, since it’s kind of a blog about him.
Just saying…
@Mufro, maybe it’s because there is no news about premier?
I don’t think “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” is the most sampled song. It’s probably “The Funky Drummer”.
@Mufro – Sampling in hip hop and touring with Guru are DJ Premier related things. Plus DJ Premier was interviewed for that Roy Ayers documentary that’s coming soon.
Nice video and interview.
Aahh, Hip Hop sampling…Talk about history!
Roy Ayers is a stand-alone name, word. His catalog in soulful acid jazz covers a lot of ground, is so funky you gotta keep his shit near your Coke Escovedo records. When it comes to sample based hip-hop he’s relevant all year, every year!
Thanks to Gim for putting this up.
