PRAISE THE LORD for DJ PREMIER.....GOAT Producer!🙏🏿🐐
Had no idea! Thank you!
DJ Premier is known for mixing and scratching other lyrics from other artists in the chorus. That's his signature style. You can almost always tell a DJ Premier beat.
The chorus is a quote from another song that DJ Premier cut in. He's famous for that during his work. That quote isn't even Jeru himself. Primo is regarded as one of the Maestros of Hip Hop. This song in particular is a classic example of him producing a track that fits the theme of the subject material.
He carefully injects the appropriate quotable for the chorus and like a lot of his other work, throws in a subliminal sound to top it all off ( The cash register). And not only that, this man is a PRISON WARDEN when it comes to timing. Listen to that cash register queue again. You notice how it ends precisely on beat? Now that you know that the chorus is a quotable from a song that he's just scratching in from the turntable, listen to how precise and on time those cuts actually are.
That is classic DJ Premier with a classic lyricist ( Jeru ). His body of work is what I like to consider "Top Shelf" material.
Thank you! This is the musical guidance we need!
In the 90's there was this type of underground hip-hop, which is a form conscious rap. About the upliftment of the urbanized areas, it was all about the art of street rhyming over beats, not the commercialized pop junk that is heavily played on the radio nowadays. It was like spoken word about real life situations as opposed to your regular rapper speaking on money, cars, drugs and hoes. Hence, why he made the comment on puff daddy. Puff Daddy was hated upon from the underground hip hop scene because he was commmercializing the art and making it mainstream all for the money. Which you see today in hiphop, saturated with rappers jumping on the scene all for the money and no basis on the art form.
Dope thanks
if y’all ever feel like giving up don’t stop bro ! I been watching some of your vids n your inspiring frfr . There’s kids watching you and you don’t even know lol . My little brother watches ur channel

Give it up for the fuckaround gang aka Steven and Rj
DJ Premier .. of Gang Starr
legendary producer. I mean, this man’s catalog is 🔥
who hasn’t Preemo made a great track for
Microphone Fiend- Eric B and Rakim 😎
Coming up
the piano sample from this track comes from the ahmad jamal trio song "i love music" like it said in the description. nas' the world is yours sampled the same ahmad jamal song if you're familiar. the sample comes from the back half of the song if i remember correctly.
also if you're looking for something similar i recommend the track "resurrection" by common. it also samples an ahmad jamal trio song, off the same album as "i love music". super dope mellow beat
Dont forget about the free guitar giveaway!:

It's pronounced jay roo the damager
Ah fuck. now you tell me!
Yes he's referring to Puff Daddy.
This song is more relevant today than ever.
Ru often said prolific things, but wasn't a great rapper as far as having punchlines and such.
You should check out Da Bitchez from his debut album, which he referenced in the beginning of this track.
Dope. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for educating!
@@BandHouseStudios No problem.
If you'd like to know why he had beef with Puff there are videos on this platform that go into it at length.
I forgot to add that the word you were trying to pronounce earlier is pay-ps, short for papers/money.
I appreciate you going outside of your comfort zone and trying other things, most rap artists are already familiar with other genres, especially 80's pop and rock, the art of sampling also helped tremendously.
And don't think that all hip-hop heads can decipher every lyric or concept, it's sometimes only clear to the artist and his or her circles and sometimes it's regional.
I couldn't begin to explain E-40's slang, some other west coast slang, some southern, midwestern, etc.
Oh, I don't know if anyone has brought up the true lyricists of hip-hop that might be of interest, Black Thought Hot 97 freestyle, Canibus I Honor You and his 97 freestyle, Elzhi, Skyzoo, Benny the Butcher on Lucha Bros, Yasiin Bey formally Mos Def on Peppas with Talib Kweli and Westside Gunn, Freddie Gibbs with Crime Pays, Little Brother, Kool G Rap, just a few to start in that direction.
If I win double it and give it to the next person 😂 -kows
Respect!
these guys gotta be slow🤦♂
its incredible
This is pretty much an "anti gold digger" concept. Most women dont want him for him, they want the papes (money). They last verse he states what he expects from his significant other.
90's AIDS epidemic.
What?
@BandHouseStudios that's the reason why so many 90s and late 80s stress the importance of wearing protection not because they want to prevent pregnancy.
