DJ Premier & Fred Durst

It’s late now so I tought lets post something small! Not only me, but also DJ Premier thought Fred Durst was wack in the beginning and “N 2 Gether Now” isn’t entirely produced by DJ Premier!

The story is that the manager of Preem asked him to do a song for Limp Bizkit, he said first “nah, that guy can’t rap man!”. But his manager said “Method Man will be on it, give it a shot”, so they met at D&D Studios and Fred was like “I know you think I can’t rap and stuff, but I’m so glad we are here now. I got all your Tape Kingz, with G Depp“. And just like with Christina Aguilera (who loved Group Home) Premo was like “You know about Tape Kingz & G Depp, word, lets do this”. And the original “N 2 Gether Now” is actually produced by DJ Lethal and Preem just had to remake it with his boombap style. So DJ Premier didn’t choose the sample. You can still hear the original version instrumental on the B Side of the vinyl release, it’s a pressing mistake he said.

Afterwards Limp Bizkit had a pyjamaparty in the playboy mansion and Preem was invited to spin some records and he took HeadQcourterz (RIP) with him and played classic hip hop in mr. Hefner‘s crib with all the bunnies.

In 2000 and 2001 he did two more remixes for Fred Durst.

DJ Premier on Q Da Kid’s Debut Album

LiveFromHQ 20/12/2008

Last night DJ Premier said on his radio show that he went yesterday in the studio with Q Da Kid to record a song. Q Da Kid is actually a new MC in the game. He is from Brooklyn and is recently signed to Def Jam. The record will be on his debut album that is coming in 2009. So get ready!

Next: DJ Premier is going to work also on the next UGK album with Bun B and Pimp C (RIP), the song isn’t recorded yet so nothing is sure as you know!

Also no guests tonight, DJ Premier and his team only, Big Shug on the phone once again. Next week Preem will be in Texas for the holidays so it will be again a pre taped show. I hope he brings some new shit!

Now about Blaq Poet, about Blaq Poet… The album is delayed once again. Sorry folks… It’s now ready to release in February! The video for “Ain’t Nuttin’ Changed” will drop in 2/3 weeks and will be edited tomorrow so that will be dope.

DJ Premier started the show with a story about him going to texas last week to see AC/DC. He is a big fan of AC/DC just like his sister. To get to the point, Preem weights 114 kg. Now we all know lol, the question is solved! Because they hadn’t any T-Shirts left excepts three larges… He was funny about it.

Now a smaller sidenote for the sample heads, Lord Finesse’s “Keep The Crowd Listening (DJ Premier Remix)” doesn’t has any samples, he did all the instrumentals himself. And that track is dope as hell, Preem did it! Listen:

Year Round Records Website

Here to take you back a couple of years ago (www.yearroundrecords.com). The site of Year Round Records was launched on october 2003 and was taking offline 4 years later on July 16th 2007. It was in total 9 times updated and created by Capital Mindz Inc.

“I’ve always felt that it’s important to have a name – whether it’s my publishing, production company or email address – that has some real meaning to it,” says Premier of how he christened his imprint. “Year Round’ describes me fully because I’m always working.”

Haha – Don’t think Preem had enough time for running this website… But on 13th of August he told us that he has been working on a new site!

What Does DJ Premier Mean to Hip Hop?

That tribute video Peter Rosenberg made for his show:

Newsflash: DJ Premier’s “Kick in the Door” selected for Notorious OST, released 13th of january.

LiveFromHQ 13/12/08

I wanted to let you know there wasn’t anything new last night on LiveFromHQ. There wasn’t any talk between tracks because Preem couldn’t do a live show for any reason. It was a pre programmed show to make us happy. He did play a song with Guru on it, that song from Lil Dap‘s album. Hope we hear Premo next week again…

Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth – I Keep The Crowd Listening (DJ Premier Remix)

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, look what I found in my mail today people!! The limited edition promo 12inch of Lord Finesse Remix Album!! Another DJ Premier Blog exclusive!! YES!! It has costs me $180 to get the vinyl so y’all better be happy!!

I loved this remix since it was played once on the radio, but daaaaamn people!!!!!!

But to come back on the money issue, I still think it’s not a fair price tough (like I said in a previous post). Premo fans should get to his music for a fair price, really, somebody can tell me what made this single so much money? The remix album was coming out in 2005/2006, we didn’t see nothing. Now is the remix album is planned for 2010 and for those who has the money can buy the first tracks… Straight bullshit, maybe I missed the point of this whole limited thing or something? I bet they will say “Be happy they pressed it”. But hell I accept it because I’m like you people, have to have everything of the best!! Can you believe I bought two LP’s just to get that 12inch??!!

(Click on picture for better quality…)

Also I took this picture to show how great I am, nah nah lol, it’s to prove I’m not a mp3 collector like some people accused me from. And also show that I support Preem to the fullest and I can post things legal here for personal use. I really believe most of the visitors are those persons also.

AND I’m not going to post the other tracks, even they are a crime to your ears. This is a DJ Premier Blog only and it’s not my job to rip the other tracks (only for my Serato), it will only drive the other 199 owners mad…

So here it is, enjoy once again and try to delete it on your hard disc:

Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth – I Keep The Crowd Listening (DJ Premier Remix) (Prod. by DJ Premier)

Attention (Ladies and gentlemen) We have Lord Finesse (Yeah, it’s
him again. Why don’t you get the place pumping, come on, say a
little something!)
Alright, let me kick this fly intro
Somethin that’s smooth but quite simple
This is my type of groove, so don’t make plans
I don’t care if you hop skip or breakdance
Don’t worry cause you’ll get your chance yet
To get funky and kick the fly dancesteps
At a show I try to maintain discipline
I keep you moving, but also listenin’

Think I’m funky? I’ll be funkier tomorrow
Yo, I’m one tough act to follow
Rip up mics when it’s time to throw down
Make MC’s say: I don’t even wanna go now
All I need is a mic and a hype groove
Two dancers and my DJ Mike Smooth
To spin the wheels and make you shake your body
I kick a party like I know karate
Better yet like I was kickin a volleyball
I step on stage get raw, then I’m outty, y’all
Here we go now, so just stand back
I take a ho, a cheer, or a handclap
Get raw off the same drum while MC’s remain dumb
Don’t worry cause there’s more where that came from
I’m not the type of brother to kick a small rap
Get swift and make a hit and think I’m all that
Cause I elevate, make the fellas break
I drink a 40, lay back, and just celebrate
Shoot and flip the rhymes because I’m swift and wise
Lord Finesse will keep the crowd hypnotized

I’m the Technician a.k.a. the rhyme arranger
Have old folks saying Who was that stranger?
It’s Lord Finesse, so don’t forget to tell em that
Pass me a mic and roll down the welcome mat
I don’t front when it’s time to kick a rhyme or two
I get raw and show the crowd what I could do
And steal a show before others have a chance to
By givin party people somethin funky to dance to
Kickin the lyrics and let the beat get them
Man, I sound groovy even on a weak system
I warm up the scene like a bottle of brandy
And if that fails, then I just go to Plan B
But once I start there’s no need to slow down
As soon as I say One two, here we go now
Rhymes I say structure and analyze
Then say to myself downlow Goddamn, I’m fly
Rhymes’ll stay when I’m gone like a fossile
I’m livin large, stupenous, collossal
Me and Mike Smooth, we’re so magnificient
We keep the crowd movin, but also listenin’

DID I ALREADY TELL HOW MUCH I LOVE LORD FINESSES STYLE??!! He is an ill kid, a legend, A LORD!! Haha

Oh, last year there WAS also a Big L project planned… It was a project of Preem and Lord Finesse cauz the mom of Big L found a lot of tapes back with rhymes. Lord Finesse has those now and they were going to do something with it. Maybe we will see that in 2015 for $80…

Rewind that track now!!!
