First of all, happy new year to everyone in the game! Lets see how much Obama can Change in his first year and specially, lets looking forward to new DJ Premier productions: Blaq Poet, NYGz, Nick Javas, Khaleel, Christina Aguilera, Q Da Kid, CNN, …

In the past 20 days the real Preem fans could vote for their best beat in 2008. It was a long time very very close for the second place, and till the last hour (!) it was too close for the fourth place with only one vote difference! And the winnar is with a total of more then it double of the runner up -no shit-:

“Grey Hairs” was far one of the best -how do i say this- slept on albums of this year, Statik Selektah has proven in 2008 that he is a stayer on production level. He really putting it down like hell! “Say Goodnight” is using again a soundtrack as sample, it’s from a French movie. DJ Premier and Reks are a perfect collabo, Reks is H-A-R-D. He won with 30%.

The Rank:

1. Reks – Say Goodnight (111, 30%)
2. Ludacris – MVP (53, 14%)
3. Fat Joe – That White (45, 12%)
4. Blaq Poet – Ain’t Nuttin’ Changed (42, 11%)
5. Big Shug – My Boston (41, 11%)
6. Termanology – How We Rock (31, 8%)
7. Ill Bill – Society is Brainwashed (23, 6%)
8. House of Repz – U Gotta Love Us (13, 3%)
Total of 359 votes.

I would like to thank everyone for their vote, thanks to you guys we have some image!! And stay tuned because this saturday DJ Premier will tell us his own top 20 best albums of 2008. Stay tuned…

Yes, I started this blog one month ago! Tryin’ to reach the Preem fan and keep him up te date with a blog that is alive. This month I have send this blog probably one message a day if it isn’t more but we all know that won’t stay for ever. But I will still try though! First I wanted to know how DJ Premier felt about this blog, it’s no fun to start a fan blog if the artist is pitty about it. But yesterday I got the answer, he was impressed. Well, a reason more to stay kicking! Second I wanted to know if this blog got visitors, well, believe me, it has. I’m happy I reached eventually more people then I tought, I reached this month 4915 unique people.

The peronal reason I started this blog (that I always wanted to do) is because it was learning vacation here in Belgium, but my technique is learn non stop one/two weeks before it exam and then you will have the same result. So I had much spare time! That was the same period 3 years ago when I put the DJ Premier Trackology online.

Here are some statics about this first month:(Click on the picture for better quality…)
(The second picture is more important for me)
(289 people average/day)

I would like to thank everybody who visit my site, may the lord bless your soul and don’t worry, this site will be alive. And also special thanks to the people who gave me encourage and props. I don’t forget that! And to Crackdaddy who still give me the free space on his domain! This year was a good Preem year, is it fair to say better then 2007? Don’t know… But my opion is that Preem isn’t felled of at all, every artist changed in a way and my ears still does it for him. Now lets go to 2009 and see what it takes, but I’m going to ask this one question to the lord: are we going to see Pros N Cons?

Peace…!

Out the other night with Styles and Premo. Incase you did’nt know, Premo is from Houston. So we all hang around the holidays. Just a quick bit of History……(i’ll try to keep this short and write the full details later) Dj Styles is some what responsible for Dj Premier being Dj Premier. The story goes like this. Carlos(Dj Styles) worked at a music store called Soundwaves in the 80’s . He got Premier a job there. Carlos sent Premier’s demo tape to Stu Fine at Wild Pitch around 88′. Stu Liked what he heard and told Carlos he wanted to bring Premier up to meet an mc from Boston that was on the label and that needed a dj. Now according to Carlos(Dj Styles), Premier really did’nt want to go but Carlos made it go down. Well we know now that mc was Guru and the rest is history.

This one is strange, did someone notice Ali Vegas new album is already out for almost a month on Itunes? But no problem, you can still buy it with the DJ Premier produced song “Everyday Iz War” if you life in USA!! I was going to buy it when I noticed it’s only for the US people, this must be a mistake. The album was released on the 9th of december by Rich Soil Entertainment.

Here can some of you buy it

Big shout out to the director for this one. Video should be released early january!

Not going to spend much effort. I tought he just went out of jail and was preparing his album with productions of DJ Premier. Well, this guy is in jail again for double murder. At least it looks like that! This could be the for ever the end…

Premo has recorded two known tracks with him:

• Im’ma Kill This Nigga
• Whut Itz All About

Both leaked in 2004.

Nuttin’ new this week, I hoped he would play Get It In by Blaq Poet, but still no new tracks. He played again that Flipsyde beat!! I have a feeling the beat will be on Beats That Collected Dust Vol. 2! If it will ever come out. Here can you listen to this beat one more time:

Small note: “U Gotta Love Us” vinyl single is comming out on the 28th of january 2009, the clip is set to release in two weeks. Props to Make Senz who will be on the B-Side!

Some say one of the ugliest covers ever, can’t argue that. Special lego edition for the holidays!! Who doesn’t love lego?! I got some more threads for you guys, santa is coming! Believe that!

DJ Premier recently revealed to New York radio personality Peter Rosenberg that he made a track for 50 Cent that was turned down. XXLmag.com chopped it up with the beat making legend to get the inside scoop on what happened with the song and how it would have been the perfect vehicle for Fif to push the reset button on his career.

Apparently Preemo submitted the song for 50’s upcoming album Before I Self Destruct. And as he tells it, this would have been the G-Unit leader’s perfect re-introduction to hip-hop audiences as a hardcore rapper.

“I use[d] his voice from “Guess Who’s Back” – ‘You’re now rocking with 50 Cent. Are you ready? I said are you ready,’ he described to XXL. “You know how he says that, with that like cocky attitude? I used that and scratching in the beginning with like this real mellow beat and the drums are smacking. It’s like setting it up like ‘Yo I’m back on my grizzly shit. I’m about to come rough.’”

Premier, who has worked with most of New York’s most influential artists, including The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Nas, said the track wasn’t one of his greatest but it would have worked in 50’s favor. “It’s not like the illest beat I ever done but the fact that he wants to bring it back to the pure essence, I definitely know how to make sure that we’re on the right track for a street record. “

While he says that Curtis would have sounded amazing over the beat, he’s not upset that the song was turned down. “Bringing that old voice back is almost like if he hit the reset button. So I could totally hear 50 killing that song…I’m not mad though. Fif’s my dude.”

Even though you won’t be hearing the track on 50’s new album, Preemo said the beat didn’t end up on the cutting room floor. He gave it to the NYGz, who are signed to his Year Round imprint, for a song called “Ready?”

Too bad, I would love to hear 50 Cent on Premo beat. Reminds me how nice he sounded when he was at Columbia. Get ready for NYGz!

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:

Now I said everything, peace homies!!
