Gang Starr - Jazz Thing
This should also be in the line up Preemo, word up.
Goodlook!
Group home, big tyme album! "PREAM "👍🏼
I love how detailed Premo gets with his story telling. Had no idea Travis Scott parents would be brought up 😂. This man is legendary. He remembers every little detail. Even shout outed the judge and kept his homie out of jail.
No doubt. He seems like a down to earth brother too.
.....so detailed that INSPECTAH DECK gets no mention at all
That whole string of shout outs was so good haha
@@kondodurham2599 What about Inspectah Deck?
@@spyhardman Yessir 😂. Always good to hear the shout outs
I'll be damned if "Livin' Proof" ain't one of the absolute nastiest beats in hip-hop. I remember when I first heard this back in high school.
This and "Come Clean" are maybe Preemo's most Preemo beats.
On the low, the Group Home first album is one of the best produced in the entire history of hip hop. It IS the east coast sound of the early 90s!
It's like the gold standard my friend!
💯
Facts
I feel you. Also Jeru’s first 2 albums as well
FACTS!
ayo tha whole Group Home Lp was a gem! Miss tha 90's golden era so much.
I completely agree. One of my favorite groups ever. So underrated never never get the due they deserve. Nobody talks about group home or ever heard a group song on Rock the bells radio ever.
you mean to tell me…one of the ILLEST hip hop albums of all time…was made up of 2 people who didn’t even intend to be rappers ?!?! crazy!! huge respect. one of my favorite albums of all time.
Crazy right, and even tho Mal wasn’t known for the bars it’s clear they respected it! I love hip hop.
Group home was the perfect NY winter album
@@G1Z he wasn’t a lyricist by any means but he had style and it was definitely his own. As long as you aren’t butt on the mic and you got beats, that’s all you need.
This goes to show how solid Premo is with the music.
To be honest if it wasn't for Preemo beats Group Home wouldn't have taken off. They were extremely average rappers who happened to meet premier. No hate tho. Straight up facts
This album needs a total breakdown of every song!
✔
Exactly
This
@@kaidoluht1957 😎
agreed
I never feel bored of saying 90's were the best
Group Home Up Against the Wall (Getaway Car Remix) is one of most soulful, groovy, smooth hiphop tracks ever made.. So many vibes in that track, Do a SO WASSUP on the Getaway car remix preem
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
You don't know then go ask ya momma
Eating mc's live like Jeffery Dahmer..
One of my favourite tracks
That Getaway Car mix is a perfect song, period
Hell YEAH IT IS!!
I'm sure many of you already know this, but it was the group home album that convinced Christina Aguilera to work with primo. That still blows my mind
Yup I can't wait for that story. Or Christina's husband suggesting her to get Primo to do the album and her rattling off tracks to him that she loved of his because of the Jazz elements after she checked out Gangstarr.
Interesting...
If I hadn't just seen Premier say it, I'd never have believed that judge story. These episodes drop so many gems
Who knew that the father of Travis Scott taught DJ premier to play drums and his mother was his teacher
that alone is legendary
I gotta know if that's an east coast thing or what lmao. Preem's stories are insane because of all the intricate details in every story. Couldn't write this shit!
Head b forgetting premo from h town
@@blaqdiemenz can't forget what u never knew. There's only power in learning. I deserve that though lmao
Not his mother, It was Travs Grandmother, his poops mother, jst to be correct
Who else is completely mesmerized while watching these Premo documentaries? Totally fascinating stories on every episode.
Preemo has the illest catalog. He doesn't miss but the beats on this album are some of his best. Group Home wouldn't have pulled this off without him.. straight up.
Many many preem beats by themself are meh, but with a rapper it sounds better. I can't listen to alot of his instrumentals
@@jonathansoko5368 Damn that's unfortunate lol..well to each his own but this era of Preemo beats was when he was on top of his game to me.
@@jonathansoko5368u buggin
Back in the day our crew had too much fun imitating Little Daps flow when we formed a cypher . True school !
LOL same! I still pull out the 'I'm eatin curry chicken n rithe and theeth hoeth look nithe' on ocassion.
I fw his flow and lisp
This album, and wrath of the math is, arguably, preemo’s best work. Hands down.
Hard To Earn
I feel Daily Operation, Hard To Earn, Moment Of Truth, The Sun Rises In The East, Wrath Of The Math and Livin' Proof are all incredible albums and Preem's best work. It's impossible for me to pick a favorite.
he has alot of beats for other artists that are ridiculous too...his whole catalogue is insane....thats why he is
the best producer of all time
O.C. Jewelz
@@keiththomas111 it wasn't fully produced by Preem, but the joints he touched were fukkin CRAAZZYY
That story with Judge Bamberger is straight up fire !!🔥🔥🔥
Her HARD push on Preemo to have Melican the Nutcracker make an album changed the history of hip-hop !! 👍🏾👍🏾
REMAND !! 😂😂😂
Right, you don't hear about any judge being bigged up like that. But you had Premier makin' sure Melachi had an opportunity to make a record. "ALBUM!"....lol!!!!
Suspended in time off this album is one of my absolute favorite joints ever
Supa Star is one of the greatest hip hop songs and beats of all time! Period
We were spoiled to be having all of these dope ass albums in the 90s and Group Home was definitely my shit back then and still is to this day!
One of the best-produced albums of premier career 🙌🏾 Incredible album.
Could listen to hours of Premier telling stories! Great stuff!
I'm gonna play "Suspended In Time" on the ride home tonight after watching this episode (and yes, I have full-blooded sound in the whip). This is a GREAT series! Thank You, Premier....
Listening to something for the first time in an old shitty car with your friends when it's cold out is something else. Not saying I wanna go back but I wanna go back, lol
Group Home - Livin’ Proof LP is Premier’s best production ever! He was in a complete zone that I don’t think was ever replicated. Premier is the G.O.A.T. but this LP’s production is the reason why he is the G.O.A.T. I love both Jeru/Premier LPs but this Livin’ Proof vibe is timeless. And it had two hits (Supa Star and Livin’ Proof). And ‘Tha Realness’ is the hardest Premier track EVER! Shout out to Guru and Big Jaz who also had production on this LP. One of my favorite LPs of all time. Salute Dap and Malachi and thank you Premier.
I completely agree or it's tied with hard to earn album.
Hard To Earn is undeniable bro. Rest In Peace GURU.
Sun Rises in The East is the Beast!
I don’t got a favorite. I like them all honestly and I’ll be bumping them for years to come. Any track with dj premier is just a banger. So glad I got into original hip hop at a young age(im22 yrs old) and i continue to fine more and more classics. Gotta appreciate the classics. RIP GURU ONE OF THE BEST YET
Serious Rap Shit is so dope, all the verses are fire and guru killed it with the beat
Livin Proof, forever underrated. Absolute classic material.
Lil Dap's rhyme's on that album truly capture a New York feel, an everyman soul, and deep values. That was one of the last album's of classic hip hop. Stories like this by Premier are what we have left. Thank you.
I honestly think this is Premiers greatest beat
This series is incredible - these stories are absolute gold. Primo the legend ✊
"living' Proof" Top 3 song ever 💎💎💎.
I'll never forget this gig in London, end of 90's, early 2000s with
GANG STARR - GROUP HOME - JERU - BIG SHUG - FREDDY FOXXX.
Nothing will ever top that. Thanks Primo
Primo is an Earthly Treasure. One of the most important artists in music.
DJ Premier is a true legend man dude is so passionate about producing !
My god I agree with Common, the production on that Living Proof album was crazy!!!
I don't know about anyone else, but I look forward to this unfiltered HIP HOP history. These are straight gems!
Man, the impact this had. The whole album is a straight end to end burner. I remember having 5 to 8hr drives to visit family & this cassette would be on back to back the whole way.
After purchasing Superstar 12" in Paris while it was released, I've waited so long for the album to come. This first single was so deep and promising and I was always reading the back cover and known that the D&D, Eddy Sancho was THE HIP HOP SOUND I loved. Peace from France. I discovered Livin Proof in Switzerland the first time in the biggest hip hop group of the country at the time, Sens Unik. When the dj put the vinyl to play in the studio with a huge sound, I was amazed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this Primo!
One of thee dopest albums everrrrrrr!! Still rock that Living Proof album. Suspended in Time was my shit.
I can listen to you talk, forever man...feel like I'm chilling, out with my uncle! ✌🏼
One of the simplest yet hardest and incredible hip hop beats of alllllllll time.
I can't believe that DJ Premier himself runs his blog to tell us how those classics been made!I have goosebumps everytime i hear the chorus of "Livin' proof" with those scratches and a weird bell effect right before the second verse!What a classic. We love you Premier, keep it coming! You are Hip-Hop!
I remember buying 2 copies of this single on vinyl (because that’s what DJs did). And bumping this. Trying to come up with some routines. Great memories this beat brings.
Never stopped listening to The Group Home ..my era of hip hop
The history in the episodes! I love every one of them.
I'm from Cali and was 18 when this dropped. Changed my whole perspective on hip hop. Still gets a spin at least once a month til this day. Salute 💯
Dam Guru, & Dj premier were good dudes, always helping, hooking people up, thinking of others! RIP Guru the God!
Shouts to Premier with the Mantronix Vinyl in the back, Premier and Kurtis Mantronik are absolute legends and innovators in Hip-Hop
One of my all-time favorite Premier beats!
This is definitely a joint made for blasting from good speakers (good car system, home stereo, etc), but if you have some good headphones, you can still hear and feel the rumble. Definitely one of the classics.
Felt the beat bumping in my head soon as I read the title!
Livin proof is on rotation in the ride eeeeverytime I get in.
I'd just left the Army and came back home to Detroit in 1995. I was working at a department store in the hood that had a small music shop within it. I looked in the CD rack and saw the Group Home album. Picked it up and saw DJ Premier and Guru's names on it. Once I'd seen that I knew the album was gonna be official. I was beyond right. Shout-out DJ Premier the living legend and the entire Gang Start foundation...👍
Made a classic album with group home
Group Home is not well known today, but back then as a DJ in Germany, my Club People where BANGIN to them Tracks!
I'm glad you brought them up and reminded us how amazing your Productions are! A True Legend Dj Premier!
This is REAL Hip Hop for me, where the Rappers are sharing stories they went through, and not these Trap-Rappers now-a-days!
Super Star was great, and i still like the Synth on New East NY Theory! When you hear today, it still sound fresh!
My life story, nuff said...Hip Hop will never be the same, til these days I go crazy when the song plays...super timeless classic, Peace to Dap n' Nutcracker (they did they thing Emceeing) Lotta knowledge and jewelz was dropped on the whole LP...Props to Preemo
"So Called Friends"...I remember when this dropped!!! Love that song!!! That sample!!!
I was waiting for this, coming from the heart of Middle East, Iran, Group Home LP will never leave my record bag, Jeru’s one as well
Up Against the Wall, Getsway car remix is probably one of the sickest beats I ever heard in my life!
This record changed my life. No joke. What a masterpiece.
Man, that whole album is classic💯Can’t wait. So glad you blessed us with this series.
How sad are the nine people that put thumbs down on this video? Big-ups to you Primo! You the Goat!
This album is an all time favorite. Such a cohesive sound … every element unconventional yet perfect. It sets a mood like few records can.
✊🏾💥💥💥Salute King, EXCELLENT ALBUM ! I still bump this to this day……2023 👑💯💪🏾
Love this album. Group Home may not be the most incredible rappers on earth but Premos production is so good that the collaboration is an instant classic. Premiers beats can elevate anyone. So good. 👍
Hip-Hop's greatest produced album!
Supastar was dope but Livin Proof had such a nice bounce to it. Keep these stories coming!
Yessir! In my Collection as we speak still banging til this day.
Wassup! Can we get a so'wassup episode about Das EFX Real Hip Hop? That would be nice! One of my favorite preemo beat!
I remember my 85 Cutlass Supreme with the soft interior and that deep bass that catches and it's like it has a mind of its own cause you can't hear it on headphones it has to be in a system with some thump!!! Maaannn, those were the dayz, if you read this Premo, just know you got some of us through some hard times and always kept it funky and this is from a small town just north of Tampa. Rest in Peace Guru. Thanks for inspiring so many of us. It's all about the real hip-hop 💪🏼👌🏼✊🏼
Dap still been droppin'. Group Last album was from a German label, and you can tell they were true fans, cause the tried to resurrect the whole sound. Dap did 95% with a few shout outs from Nutcracker, but man, gritty stuff. Hard copy CD cost me $25.00 off the rip cause it was a rare overseas pressing. On my shelf with ALL Group Home/Dap/GangStarr releases as we speak.
What's the album called man??
Yeah fax whats it called??
You're a true fan. So you've the whole catalog released by artists from the
Gang Starr Foundation?
@@kingray7734 It's called 'Group Home Forever' on Smoke On Records
@@discokitten5325 It's called 'Group Home Forever' on Smoke On Records
Group home are real dudes with a unique flow... met them in Missouri while touring... peace n blessings to the soldiers... and all Gangstarr affiliates... rip Guru
Very GREATFUL to own this masterpiece of an album! I miss the 90's era of music 😔!! I'm mentally stuck like a 🦕!! Can't wait for more episodes 👍!
You're stuck like a dinosaur...? I don't get it...lol
Shout out to the best hip hop album of all time !!!! LIVIN PROOF🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Some say the rhymes were too simple in Livin Proof, and Supa Star. But I can't imagine someone doing those GH beats better justice. Group home just had the flow, the rawness, hunger, unique flair and direct stripped down to the bone street rhymes/knowledge.
And with that they were the perfect added instrument to those Premier beats and vice versa. A perfect complimentary layer.
Stone Jones amen!
Still to this day, this song it put into my stereo every month... Peace from Sweden!
One of my favorite Group Home songs! The Legacy is up there too! RIP to the Bald Head Slick
Group home was and is one or my favorite rap groups of all time. My God what a great group. Very very underrated.
I hope this series never ends! I can watch this series forever!
Supa Star, Livin’ Proof and Words from the Nutcracker are all on my gym playlist!!
One of the best produced albums of all time
So many incredible memories of Gangstarr and Ganagstarr Foundation! The show Ganagstarr did in the Mid 90s in the UK was the best show I have see in The Forum in Kentish Town. Me and my crew was some rowdy dudes back then.... After the show Guru came into the crowd and was hanging with us... One of my best memories of hip hop. Love you guys for that realness.
Livin Proof certified classic!
I can’t say how many times I’ve dreamed of Premier breaking down his tracks like this.. yesss!!
Dreamed huh
I always loved that Inspectah Deck sample during the hook. Shit was perfect.
Thank you beloved... That sums it up... UNDENIABLE!!! Primo... The music that you and the entire Foundation created is truly a soundtrack for the lives of myself and my best friends. 3 cats... Hip Hop headz coming of age in Bedford Heights, Ohio... during the Golden Age of Hip Hop. Amazing. The excitement that we felt EVERY TIME that a Gang Starr Foundation project was released is indescribable and you all are definitely a part of that "pool of black genius" continuum that Donny Hathaway referred to. Beloved, you all definitely deserve your flowers RIGHT NOW... in this moment. And Primo. you will always - in my opinion - be a part of that trinity of the most exceptional producers of all time... with Pete Rock and Dr. Dre (in no specific order 'cause I don't get into all of dat). And in honoring you three, I know that I am honoring those cats whose shoulders that you all are standing on... and all the producers that you all have influenced... which is the point! I am just happy to have a venue to say THANK YOU! One... from the 216.
One of the greatest
Hip hop tracks that exists
One of my favorite Premier produced albums. From start to finish
I saw Group Home, supporting Cypress Hill (I think) in the UK in 1995 (I think - again, its a long time ago). Loved them so much I bought their CD and sticker I used to rock on my bag as a teenager. I love these stories, much like many - because they take you back to a time...
I was totally fascinated first time i listened to living proof. I didn't understand it. It felt so raw. It's my foundation for the love of hip hop
That album....Pure 90s boom bap niceness......Cold
Group Home never left my playlist!! Pure hip hop 💯
My involvement in skateboarding Gave me the gift of this sonic genius
Preemo.. thank you for everything.
Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal,
Infinitely.
Also, thank you for what you did for my Family ( 78 West ).
Love & Respect
Intro of that album still gives the chills
Livin proof will be forever ♾️ best song & beat ever ✊🏾🤘🏾☝🏾🍾
Man, I’ve been listening to this song for almost 20 years. An all time favorite hip hop album with such a dope sound. Just last summer I picked up this jazz record from one of my favorites to play a fender Rhodes (r.I.p.). It was like just days before reading the news that he passed when I put on his record and those stabs came up “doo dooo” and I just lost my shit. After one of the dopest break downs into a wild solo but those stabs man. I heard em and instant goose bumps. It’s the perfect sample. So dope! So fat! Livin proof is unbeatable in its sound. Like just perfect rumbling boom bap real hip hop
living proof is no question one of preem's many best produced albums.. shit was bananas when I when i first heard it. Superstar if the GOAT premo beat, shit banged constantly in the whip
🔥🔥🔥🔥Incredible, this cd is probably the best produced hiphop cd of all time in my opinion.
one of the greatest hip hop records of all time! more people should know about this classic
Another classic. For another classic. Gotta love Primo.
Love Group Home.
Their song "Sacrifice" and "A train X-press" I can listen over and over.
Big UP from Czech Rap!!
All classical groups and awesome hits. Group home, gang starr, Jeru...real 90's og's
Thank God I found this, people's Champion DJ Premier 🏆thank you.
