thought I'd start a thread to big-up my favourite hip-hop producer, DJ Premier

more than anyone else, Primo defines hip-hop for me. choppy samples, deep stabby basslines and hard drums, all served up with his trademark cuts on the hook

you always knew that if Premier produced a track on an album, it would have a special place in your heart (Second Childhood on Stillmatic, So Ghetto on Volume 3). before i was able to find production credits online, i used to get excited when i bought an album and saw C.Martin/Works of Mart listed in the publishing credits to a song. i was never disappointed

here's some of my favourite Premier moments:

Gangstarr - Work: for years this was my favourite beat, so simple yet so stylish
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BTOO5L14jE

Royce 5'9" - Boom: classic Premier
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwmWMOO_HBU

Nas - Nas Is Like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQHHdrzU4P0
original sample:
http://www.zshare.net/audio/13456594dd150c82/
apparently that's bird chirps getting used in the intro to the beat

J-Live - The Best Part: sounds like a gamelan or something sampled here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hFv_QSj2Ag

Termanology - Watch How It Go Down: a more recent track, proving that he's still got it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDIe0_UoLlg

and to finish with, of course Gang Starr - Full Clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U76Nde6rMTw


there's countless more classic beats i haven't mentioned (stuff from Illmatic, his work with BIG, MOP etc) but i was hoping you guys could add on, highlighting your own favourite Premier beats

let's show our appreciation :mrgreen:
peace

Respect due, DJ Premier is the cat I studied back when I first wanted to learn all about this crazy thing called "choppin". It's been some days but I still love his steez.

nice!
great to hear some of these joints again
especially Speak Ya Clout...haven't heard that since i was really young
reminds me of Face Off by MOP where Primo gives 'em each a different beat

Common - 6th Sense
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMP__WRvv1Y

Ras Kass - Goldyn Child
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-WImD5xkJQ#

Xzibit - What A Mess
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTbIqyncjjc

Primo's been working with Royce a fair bit lately, these guys sound great together:

NYGz - Ya Dayz R Numbered Remix ft Freddie Foxxx, Lady of Rage and Royce 5'9"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f86s4Qml1IY
"I let my record talk for me like a Preem hook"


Royce - Ding : "Preem cut me!"

Damn, I found that topic totally by accident using search machine :D
Of course DJ Premier is my all-time favourite producer and nothing and no-one will change it! :)
It's a pity that a lot of ppl in Poland e.g. who "listen to hip hop" don't have a fukin clue, when I mention DJ Premier. I'm tryin to change it 24h/day :)

Enough of intro, check out those bangers:


Pushim - Set me free ( Fantastic! )
http://www.zshare.net/audio/14615731868133b4/

Hannibal Stax - Proper Dosage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bPGAgR_g7Y

Teriyaki Boyz - You know what time is it ( Damn! :D )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU0DcxwXflc

LOX - Recognize
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GWjTa5sdus

Plus a lot of MOP Banger etc.

I hope you like it

I'm feeling all the new DJ Premier beats but nothing sounds like the early 90s.
