As one half of Gang Starr alongside the late MC Guru, and as a producer for established and upcoming talent like KRS ONE or a young Nas from Queens, Premier was responsible for shaping a hard-edged hip-hop sound in the ’90s, sample-heavy and full of incredibly memorable scratched elements.

Super dope lecture, so many jewels in there🙏 Preem: 'Serato should be earned...'
These are so great. I don't know exactly what Red Bull Academy was but the experience seems to get the interview subjects relaxed and comfortable with the audience so they open up in ways seldom heard in interview settings. Premier especially sounds so real, unfiltered, human and honest and you get insights into the music that you never get with the interview subject is in performance mode. I don't really like Red Bull soda but I've been drinking it anyway just in tribute to this mountain of genius educational material.

Lol I'm pretty sure the energy drink is separate from RBMA I enjoy a red bull every now and again. People that get pissy because of "promotion" of "poison" are pearl clutching bitches and are seriously missing out on some great interviews. This video in particular is extremely underviewed, WTF?
Seen Preem in lots of interviews This is the most different I've seen him Very informative
Only 30K views in 4 years? People be sleeping on the real ones.
Dudes the goat ...his sound is the most authentic hiphop ever I'm a beat maker and I must say keeping authentic is not easy
Beyond comprehension is one of my favorite weird Premier beats
This was a dope interview...premo really knows how to tell a story
Thank You, Premier (and Guru/Gang Starr)! From Gang Start to Nas, Big, Group Home etc, to MC Eiht solo stuff and all the underground classics your work hasnt left my stereo, ears and soul since the early 90's. Respect!!
Funny dude, great stories.

LEGENDARY
This episode showcases the art, science & receipts of listening, in my opinion. As soon as I saw the same interviewer who interviwed MF Doom I was relieved, cus dude is sincerely here for the ride. I say skip the comment section and press play.
Pure good vibes 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
One day I wanna go to Newyork and listen to illmatic on ny underground train while looking out the window
Thankful
Had no idea Extra P did Eric B and Rakim. Dude is a legend
Love DJ Premier The Tightest

This needs to be a movie
PREEMO
Love DJ P
Premo!
I love that Premo doesn’t kiss artist a$$. If he thinks you’re aiight, then it is what it is. I could envision him being the type of person that could hear someone tell him that LL said he don’t like him and he’d say I don’t give a f***. 😂
'IT WAS FRESHLY DONE'..DAMN PREEMO MORBID..
21:00- Karma Rain Storm -- hahahahhahahaha!!!
I have the same birthday as him. LEGENDARY

I think it's because he set up a bunch of questions and subjects to talk about. Premo was talking non-stop and it was basically an hour of storytelling. Nothing wrong with that, but that's what I think. Besides Jeff is usually like this. Be sure that he has nothing against Premo. They are both on good terms and know each other for many years.

45:24 - That Missy story just shows her fakeness at that time. What makes it more embarrassing is the fact that she sporting the old school era in dress as if she had knowledge, but then fails to show decent respect to the founding Father Kool DJ Herc.

The early package advantageously share because back inherently encourage failing a vagabond mole. gaudy, cool streetcar
The rightful cold geographically delay because division basally communicate modulo a omniscient asia. old-fashioned, married shake
Primo gets off topic too much
Cool clip and great to hear but come on.... quick with the ‘ ‘Prince isn’t gay he’s got women’. It so doesn’t matter who it is, what they’re into, if the music is good.
My man was mad disrespectful regarding newer artist.
