This man defines Living Legend. In 100 years he will be in the pages of music history books like Beethoven, Mozart or Tchaikovsky. People will talk about him like we talk about Quincy Jones, George Martin, Berry Gordy or Rick Rubin. RIP Guru.
They're BOTH DOPE, so stop slighting one to 'big up' another. Dre's ears recognized the "unique" vocals of Eazy, the D.O.C., Snoop, Eminem, and Kendrick-ALL bonafide SUPERSTARS, not only within the industry, BUT to the culture of Hip Hop.
@@JeromeGigante You are right, because that's your opinion, but I'll take Dre's career over Primo's. By the way, Dre's a purported billionaire...just sayin'.
@BlueBallz Can' t agreed on this, although premo has been my main influence. Most of his mixtapes are poorly mixed, too many back 2 backs etc. The only mixtape I really can listen to is "NY Reality Check 101".
@@JayWerx I think Easy Moe Bee gets slept on cuz he isn't in public view much. He rarely does interviews. I've only seen one video interview he's done and that was over 10 years ago.
@Jarrel Ely No, there is another level with them. But, Guru has a deep catalog and very unique style that is his own that helped create classic hip-hop music. I put him above the likes of Nicki Minaj, T.I., and some other rappers I saw on the list
@@massdagod Your opinion. I judge rappers off lyrical ability and content, catalog, influence, and extra credit for classic music in their era. I think Gangstarr checks all boxes. Guru was 1 of a kind but I admit he's an acquired taste.
That story when he’s talking about how he was battling RZA was so cool to listen to.. shoutout to fucking RZA for holding his own lol makes me love C.R.E.A.M even more now. Story starts at around 25:11
It's always going to be DJ Premiere & Guru over the self titled "Superstar Producer" DJ Solar & Guru. Hey Solar no one likes you! Tread light! Your foul for what you did to Guru & the Gangstaar family. We're not Guru you get no love! You are the true definition of the Soliloquy of Chaos from that Gangstaar cut. Now to Big Shug, GroupHome, Jeru the Damaja, M.O.P., Freddie Foxxx & everyone else from the Gangstaar family sorry for y'all loss. But to Solar you gets NONE, take it personal like that Gangstaar track, yes! DJ Premiere much love from down DC & we out!
Damn. I'm glad his father got to go how he wanted. My mom kinda chose too luckily even if it was cancer she was dealing with. It's been tough but we keep at it. My mom wouldn't want it any other way. Keep struggling so we can live. It's part of life
DJ Premier = Legendary. No other words to sum up one of Hip Hop's most incredibly profound and amazing producers in history. Point blank; simple as that; nuff said.
Damn... not even a “sorry for your loss” or a “my condolences” when he talked about his father passing away? Just changed the topic like it was nothing smh
A lot of time we forget that our favorite artists are real people. That definitely deserved more time, just by the fact that he opened up to them about his life.
Shoutout to Ian! Ian is Joe Budden’s manager as well... Joe never really had the success he should’ve had, self sabotaging at its finest. But since he linked up with Ian (when Slaughterhouse was working with Preemo) his career has really taken off. Props to Ian.
Just got it! Can't wait to bump this! Ohhhh sh🤐, still Subtracting rappers who lack on a premier beat, the game as a WHOLE, ALL THE WAY FROM THE GRAVE!!! GADDAMN!!! 🖤👌🏿✊🏿👊🏿R. I. P! It's the moment of truth here!
The beats on Group Home first album was pure genius by Premier. I was blown away when i heard that album. Premier is my favorite producer, he`s the biggest reason i bought Gang Starr albums back in the day.
I remember Premier talkin' about producing an entire Nas album. If I remember correctly, he said that scheduling conflicts were preventing it from happening, but that it was something he and Nas had discussed and were genuinely planning. That would probably be a dope album, as Premo seems to bring out the best in Nas.
This is the best Hip Hop interview ever and dj premier is the legendary Hip Hop producer and he is too consistent. Gangstarr forever, RIP Guru. My prayers and Condolences goes to Dj premier's Father who passed away, may God be with the family. 🙏🏻 Dj premier will go down as the best in History including Gangstarr and Gangstarr foundation. Group Home living proof album is a 90s classic, HANDS DOWN.
I met preemo once after a set he did at an outdoor festival. My friend and I caught him walking out to his car. He was really nice. Took a picture and then because I had his shirt he gave me his hat... tldr I have preems hat in a glass case in my room
This guy made me fell in love with the technical part of Hip Hop and started making beats, he made me smile with this new Gang Starr album. Definetly one of his best yet
Group home are legendary, the song living proof, supa star and suspended in time is a classic, Nut Cracker " where's my knife let me take a chance with your life" living proof. What a serious bar 🔥 "Don't worry about me cause I'm making it If I can't have it then I'm taking it"
“I could do this for hours” Moments later: BACK TO THE PROGRAMMED MATERIAL. For the love of the babies, let us learn about our culture for hours please! If it’s hip hop you’re selling, why not do it the right way. Don’t play the same records all day, educate and entertain as well.
I’m only 24, and been listening to Nas’ entire discography this year....this dude helped kicked him into the stratosphere of raps elite. Large Professor, and LES made some dope beats too.
The most consistent hiphop producer of all time.
Facts
Truth
pete rock too
Dr Dre?
Premier has got around one thousand production credits to his name, no one else has that. Even Dre who's been on wax since 85 hasn't got as many.
Being 38 yr old hip hop head, Premier is like a GOD to me. His songs are literally the soundtrack to my life. RIP GURU
Real talk 👊🏽
Same. Im 40
I'm 38 too and as an artist and semi-producer myself, Gangstarr was a *huge* influence on my own music🎶💿🎧
I'm 36 and 100% agree.

And that is Amazing!
Protect DJ premier at all costs. He's a gem in the music industry
This man is a living legend , Hip Hop royalty yet so humble...Salute to DJ Premier !!!

This the THE GUY that should write a book.....i could listen to him talk all day....... LEGENDARY
Yes! A proper Gang Starr book must be made.
Incredible stories fr.
a premo beat sounds like yellow timbz and a triple fat goose bubble jacket
add the jansport backpack to that rap Sun..
Oooh you talking about the leather or the regular joint I had the regular cause I was a kid that was broke lol I wanted the leather o e tho lol
Lmaooo you know the vibes
Lol underrated comment
Facts on facts on facts, fam.
Seen him live many times, met him as well. True and living legend and most importantly, very humble.
I could listen to Premier tell stories all day, the one about RZA and CREAM is insane
Premo is a natural story teller
Finally some REAL hip hop talk!
Yes
Premo a legend. Respect.
I PUT THIS MAN BEFORE DR DRE , HE REALLY PUTS IN THE WORK ETHIC 💯
Marvin Alvarez and no one can say he took the credit for a beat he didn’t make

Day one fan since 1989 and had the opportunity to tell Preme that, he's very cool and also gave me some of his mix tapes.
Boggles my mind that GURU wasn't making those Top 50 lists. Really, 1 of the best yet.
Sameolg100 his rhymes are boring. No disrespect. I love woke rappers, by IMO his rhyme schemes are boring.

I did a backflip when he said he reunited the Gang Starr Foundation. I just might cop this .
you might? c'mon son

@74kjohnson ganggstarr is one of my favorite 2 man groups, premier is my favorite producer of all time, but guru solo is just ok in my opinion.
@74kjohnson No doubt. Guru was one of the nicest to grace the mic, he's high on my Emcee list.
Guru had an amazing voice. You could never mix him up with anyone else.
🙏
@@SovereignMax Guru's JazzMattazz albums are fire
It's amazing how much knowledge this man spreads, I could listen to him for hours.
I am supporting this album! People be shocked when I mention Guru in my top 5...
Common is a fave of mine as well!
Guru was nice a real MC the only MC that did jazz and hip hop RIP God
I could listen to PREEM forever. Legendary Talking.
Had the honor of meeting Primo & Guru on two separate occasions. Been a fan from day one. What a magnificent era of hip hop. ThankYou GangStarr 💔❤️

FOR LIFE!!!!!!!
Yup we still on that

Rog Mar for real! Its so wrong that Premier had to pay him for Guru rhymes!
It'll come back to him someday
1:41 how disrespectful to not even acknowledge anything premier said and jus ask a question about music
Aaron 102 I was thinking the exact same thing. I hope they payed there respects before the camera was rolling
Same!
Absolutely
I checked on the comments to see if anyone else had noticed....Wasn't disappointed
Luan Vilarim same here!
Damn I could listen to these stories all day... 30 years of hip-hop history.
Damn. I'm glad his father got to go how he wanted. My mom kinda chose too luckily even if it was cancer she was dealing with. It's been tough but we keep at it. My mom wouldn't want it any other way. Keep struggling so we can live. It's part of life
Premo Is on the Hip Hop Rushmore...2 Thousand and Suspended In Time my favorite Premier productions....Livin Proof Is a gem of an album
Agreed, not many people even know group home, livin proof is one of my all time greatest
DJ Premier IS Hip-Hop. Point blank and period💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
LEGEND......Plain & Simple..
DJ Premier is a TRUE Hip Hop icon!! We give THANKS for ALL he continues to ADD to Hip Hop culture, keep SHININ, Word!!!
I can listen to Preemo talk all day, real talk

Preemo is the reason why I make beats to this day. A living legend.
Fire that guy behind Ebro texting tutes during a Preemo interview
Totally useless position by the looks of it
Thinking the same thing bro😕
Premier is like a hip hop encyclopedia. Always fascinating listening to his stories.
Condolences for your loss, Premo.
Give the legends their flowers, now.
Damn we need that Jay Z / Premier album - I doubt it happens but damn
Group Home 1st album Livin Proof definitely Golden Era classic.

ezra these are TRUE SELFISH ARSEHOLES!
I was just thinking that no condolences or nothing that's foul
These guys are clowns, it's a known fact
That’s was so rude. He literally just said “is that when you started the album?..”
felt that too, man. that was disrespectful, mostly rosenberg. 👎🏻
Damn... not even a “sorry for your loss” or a “my condolences” when he talked about his father passing away? Just changed the topic like it was nothing smh
couldn't believe it. massive disrespect.
i caught that too
A lot of time we forget that our favorite artists are real people. That definitely deserved more time, just by the fact that he opened up to them about his life.
I wouldn't want to talk about it either.
hello its Ebro and Rosenberg. two lame turds.
Why wasn’t this 4 hours Premo the greatest Gangstarr
Because this is where Hip-Hop used to live.
Just preordered double Viny cant wait to tear it up on tha 1200s!
I'll Definitely Be Coppin' One Of The Best Yet, When It Drops.

If you don't know who DJ Premier is you're playing yourself.
A living legend. A musical genius. An icon of epic proportions. He is the epitome of hip hop. Christopher Martin aka DJ Premier. 💪
found this late, gna be tired for work tomorrow but this was so dope. preemo is such a good story teller .. goat
It’s crazy that when you hear a Primo beat you know it’s him but all his beats still sound different. Originality at its finest.
