One of hip hop most notable albums was released 15 years ago, enough reasons to have a reunion with the creators of this masterpiece. Thanks to the latest issue of XXL Magazine we have this nice read about the situation of every track on the album. I had a little fun with copy past, I copied all the thoughts on the DJ Premier produced tracks for y’all, enjoy:

NEW PREMO FIRE YES SIR, first of all: I listen to LiveFromHQ now for two months without any new joints, I couldn’t listen for one time and BAM, new DJ Premier song. Second, I get almost fifty mails of people who want to hear the joint as quick as possible, didn’t knew this blog was that famous! Even have a couple aggressive mails too looool. But like I promised, I have it!
And what can I say, the song is fire. The sample is hardcore as usual with three hardcore rappers: Blaq Poet, Lil’ Fame and Shabeeno (of NYGz). Hip Hop will have his eyes open when “Tha Blaqprint” drops, that’s for sure now. Enjoy, DJPremierBlog, how we always do it I guess, shout out to DJ Premier:
Blaq Poet – Rap Addiction (Featuring Shabeeno & Lil’ Fame) (Prod. by DJ Premier)
Most of you will probably already seen this, but why not post it on this blog. This song was original made 20 years ago, maybe Preem can make a new one today… One of the best…
I didn’t listen, could somebody tell me if there was a new joint?
I know the peeps from The Netherlands are now waiting a couple of years already to go see DJ Premier again. I got some good news, he is coming to Amsterdam on 28/03/2009. The venue is the famous “Melkweg” and the price is only €8 pre. He is featured as special guest. I won’t go, saw him already a couple of times. Only if he plays in Belgium!

Here is a dope track by C-Rayz Walz with Swave Sevah doing a homage to Gang Starr and DJ Premier. It’s from his upcoming album “Who The Fuck Are You?” on Kings Link Records. I think it’s time of the year to do homages. Preems ‘homages’ were always great, “Pop Shots“, “Big L Intro” and many more…
Lamont Coleman (May 30, 1974 – February 15, 1999), also known by his stage name Big L, was an American rapper.
Big L was shot and killed in Harlem on the night of February 15, 1999. Gerard Woodley, a childhood friend of Big L, was arrested in May for the crime. At the time of his death, L had two brothers in prison. “It’s a good possibility it was retaliation for something Big L’s brother did, or Woodley believed he had done,” said Lt. Ellen Caniglia, spokesperson for the NYPD. Woodley was later released and the murder remains unsolved.
Here you have the middle man Sha Money XL talking about it:
These are people who I appreciate, and the music and the legacy that they’re leavin’ with us, and creating it for us as Hip Hop. It’s not like they’re asking to see some Pop producer that ain’t really Hip Hop. Pete Rock, DJ Premier, that’s the best it gets. I love that part. […] That was single-handedly me. 50 Cent passed on the beat the first time. I re-sent it to 50’s engineer, Ky Miller and he played it again for 50 while 50 was in the studio. He got it this time; 50 got it. All of a sudden, ‘Shut Your Bloodclot Mouth’ is everywhere, all over the Internet. He killed it! I called him and said, ’50, you’ve got to finish this record. This shit is crazy.’ There’s certain records you get calls on, ’cause you can feel the energy. That was one record, that I told him was big. He’s not into names. He don’t care who produces the track. He don’t want to sit in the studio with these guys or nothin’; he want to make his record. So when this particular record hit the streets, the feedback was so fuckin’ monstrous, it was like, ‘Know what Fif? You’ve got to finish this song.’ So we’re working on that now. He just wanted to get it out, ’cause he knew Hip Hop really wanted it. He heard it when you asked about it. He heard when Premo talked about the record not being played. He heard everything. So 50 really listens to what people really want. And he went back in and fuckin’ in. You know Premo gotta do scratches; it’s still a work in progress. He had scratches there, but 50 didn’t use them the first time. It’s still a work in progress. The song will thus reportedly change before appearing on the upcoming Before I Self Destruct.
