Roc Raida Tribute Mix – DJ Premier

After hearing DJ Eclipse going in for one of the GOATs, the DJ Premier blog brings us the tribute mix Preem dropped in memory of DJ Roc Raida…

As we all know about Roc Raida’s tragic passing last week, I could only do a tribute on my blog to honor him as a fan. Last night DJ Premier did his part. As a friend and as a pioneer. Of course I couldn’t let the people in the dark by not premiering it, so here we have another exclusive on the internet. Premo did his thing and remember this is for free, do not try to bootleg it for cash. I still got the MJ Tribute in the back of my head. Have fun and salute Grandmaster Roc Raida with DJ Premier and Panchi in the next hour, hip hop is life.

In the final part of our conversation, Premo dropped some science about the origin of his HeadQuarterz studio with Charles The Mixologist, plans for the studio and how his collaboration with Method Man and Limp Bizkit happened. To say he was leery of working with Fred Durst may have been an understatement, but Durst’s legendary stubborness paid off. Props to Kevin Nottingham for hosting this series!

The Legacy Intro (Prod. DJ Premier) – Deams

Shouts to the DJPRemierBlog.com, Deams is the first international artist of the Gang Starr Foundation, born and raised in The Netherlands

… more then ten years later Deams is finally having his debut EP “The Legacy”, you could say he almost did the same struggle as Percee P in a way. The EP has featurings like Jeru the Damaja, Big Daddy Kane, Ice-T, De La Soul and even more. He even got a beat by DJ Premier for his intro, who can say he has a intro by Premo with Preems voice and scratches on it? Man, this shit is going to be crazy. Specially for Europe! Support this shit, if you are going to buy the new Jay-Z album then you need to cop this album too haha. Judge yourself!

During the Slaughterhouse Release Party, AsTheWorldSpin’s DJ Hotsauce got a chance to talk to Preem about the Slaughterhouse project and why there were none of his beats on it, Royce’s upcoming album, the meaning of real hip hop and takes the time out to address that whenever Guru is ready for another Gangstarr LP, come talk to him. After the jump you can catch another interview DJ Hotsauce did with Joell Ortiz & Crooked I… Sidebar: Real talk, homeboy’s chin braids are distracting, hahah no shots though! Continue reading

DJ Premier’s Tribute To Michael Jackson

While I realize that there’s still TONS of MJ tribute material out there, a certain blogger who also contributes to the site said he was gonna make a massive post and call it Michael Mountain (pause..?)

I would have loved to experience this, but since there aren’t any boroughs named Brooklyn where I come from, I guess I’m just going to have to enjoy Death by Electric Shock’s Hi-Def footage…

DJ SAV*ONE of TUGCU had this to say…

I got a chance to chop it up with DJ Premier briefly @ Fat Beats NY. We discussed the role of vinyl & local record shops like Fat Beats in the hip-hop culture, Blaq Poet’s new album, Eternia & MoSS’s new album, “AT LAST,” as well as Royce Da 5’9 & NYGz’s new albums. I also got a chance to discuss the situation between DJ Premier & 50 Cent over “Shut Your Bloodclot Mouth,” DJ Premier’s tattoo, his goals when he first entered the industry and his consistency over the years. Get some insight into the mind and times of the greatest producer in hip-hop!!!
