Yup, jus review the entire album.
Lol group home O
@@markoz673bajen8 oh yeah this song was in gta 4
Primo got the midas touch. He singlehandedly held the whole East coast on his shoulders for more than a decade. His catalog is untouchable, even Dr Dre can't compete
Dre can't compete? Yeah right.
@@ryanmack4188 don't get me wrong Dre is a great producer but look at their catalogs and Primo has way more hits than Dre. You have to know the facts before your question somebody
Dre can't compete he has like 3 albums. And doesn't produce as much other stuff as people think. Premo is everywhere.
@@yanceyboyz I ain't the biggest dr dre fan but to say he only has 3 albums is laughable. He has straight outta compton, eazy duz it, 100 miles and runin, livin like hustlers, no one can do it better, niggaz 4 life, the chronic, doggystyle, 1999. Thats 9 albums.
I couldn't agree more, Dre is cool; but he can't touch Preem, not even close. Preem is the uncrowned King; but Niggas know what's up!!! 🙏
I once heard Premo tell a story that this album is the reason why Christina Aguilera wanted to work with him. She said her big brother used to always play it when they were young, so she loved his beats and wanted to work with him.
I read in rolling stone that she wanted to know who produced kick in the door
Yeah I don’t know about that one. I think someone might have mixed up the albums cause I just can’t see that. No one bought that group home record
@@mutedmutiny9542 The story came directly from Premo on a Breakfast Club interview...what the fuck are you talking about? Lol.
@@gemsound so it’s not possible that when whoever told him that story that they messed up the album? That they confused one of his many albums with another one? That isn’t possible ?? Im not saying anyone is lying intentionally, I’m saying I have a really hard time seeing Christa OR her brother bumping the group home album. I think it’s more likely it was a different record and somewhere in the course of telling the story, the exact album got mixed up. That’s what I’m saying. I could be wrong, Or maybe you’re wrong and not remembering 100% correctly what you heard. If I’m wrong then fine no big deal, I just can’t see Christina or her bro rocking this.
@@mutedmutiny9542 Dawg, lmao. DJ Premier literally said OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH, on The Breakfast Club that he was at dinner one day at a fancy restaurant and Christina pulled up to get dinner as well. She saw that he was there, and asked to speak to him HERSELF. She told him how much her brother loved that album growing up and she grew to love it to, so that drove her interest in working with him even more....again, what in the entire fuck are you talking about troll??? Lmaaaaaaaooooooooo. Take a nap dawg.
Livin Proof still in rotation 🤛🏽 Hard To Earn also had Words From The Nutcracker which went hard as well.
Always get chills when this beat drop
This album had no wack tracks
Facts
Agreed. It flows effortlessly as one beast. It has a real cohesiveness
No wack tracks, but perhaps a couple wack MCs on it lol
@@dmaster5556 nutcracker rhymes on a 3rd grade level. Dude is wack af
Yess sirr...
Hands down the GREATEST hip hop instrumental EVER made! Props Preem!
Square biz! 94-95 were magic years. When hearing these beats for the first time as being the first joint on a Toca tape (Rap #41) I knew there will neva be a doper beat than this produced ever. This one's up there together with joints like Wontime, Unbelievable, Fakin Jax, In The Flesh + some of 9th's work. Thank you Preem - A Tru Masta 🙏
PS. Hope Jaz-O & Immobilaire's forgotten gem "718" soon is next on the menu. Classic material. 😏
@@nuttinbuttdafonk Well said! Fakin Jax🤯. Amazing records were coming out during that time no doubt.
Don't sleep on "Next Level".... straight 🔥
Sonja Blade "Look 4 Tha Name" DAMN!!!!! C'Mon Premo Both Beats Are Dope But That First Beat....🤦🏾♂️
We need Capone-N-Noreaga - “Invincible”, Evidence - “You”, JAY-Z - “So Ghetto” & Gang Starr - “Rite Where U Stand”
Jay-Z "Bring It On" is what we really need. The story behind that has never been told yet.
So Ghetto for me
@@dannybx78 agreed!!!
I think you would find Evidence's You is after the floppy disc technology era.
@@dannybx78 damn i'd like to see that
These videos are just unbelievable. Nobody has hip hop knowledge like Preemo.
Man you gotta do Who's Gonna Take the Weight? That beat was Kraaazaay. And those scratches omg still one of my favorites to this day.
Yeah or anything from Step In the Arena
Not WAS You Mean IS... It Stands The Test Of Time...
Most definitely
The cuts! Those cuts!
You can’t handle the whole weight
I'm bumpin' "Livin Proof" album for years, you know when you see music videos, when you hear rap flows and you say: "yeah, that's it, this is the joint that keeps me hyped AF" too bad some of those groups never gonna happen again, it's on us to keep the culture goin'. peace to y'all ✌👐
Group home is sooooo DOPE!! Tear for the ghetto is a BANGER!!! The whole record is straight FIIIYYYAAAAAA 💯💪
5 mic album
Is that their 2nd album w/o preemo? Who did the beats?
@@gaylordfocker7990 yeah that's the one without Preem and crazy as it may seem that album as a whole is better in my opinion
@@gaylordfocker7990 Preemo produced only 1 joint on there called The Legacy.
Oh God yes! This was the first beat from Premier that I recognized his undefeatable chopping skills.
Legendary golden era hip-hop record produced by the G.O.A.T!!! I was hoping Preem went into the demo version before he made the transition to the album version. Great episode none the less.
I wanted to hear him talk about the Demo Version also. I like both cuts.
@DJ Premier yes please!
damn yes missed that
Next time do “suspended in time” that’s the best GH track ever IMO!
I got the cassette, keep it in my car always. Shouts out the other youngins who love and appreciate this history
His greatest production.... Livin Proof... The album that took this icon to the next level... For me one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made 💯 👑 👑.. Legend.. 👑 👑 💯
I agree. Best production start to finish
One of my all time favorites 💯
the grit on that beat in endless
No doubt! I find myself listening to this album over and over every year. It has aged very well.
That production on the whole album is alien level. So good
The Album Is Some Of The Most Legendary Production Ever... And The Fact Group Home Balanced It Out With Simple Yet True To Life Rhymes Just Makes It All Around Dope...
Prem, I think the time has come for the record we all wanna hear...
"Ayo Nas you ready?
Ready when you are Prem!"
Freedom or jail, clips *inserted/* got babies being born the same time my man's was *murdered/* the beginning and end 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😁😁😁
New York state of mind lol toughest NYC track ever
Group Home 🏘️ Gangstarr DJ Premier RIP GURU.
CLASSIC still in rotation since it first dropped
FACTS Group Home is in the top 20 greatest rap duo's of all time no shoot'em up bang bang talk straight grown man struggle rap the realest rappers out there WORD! GROUP HOME FOR LIKE
living proof was one of those albums you don’t listen to for the word play, but for how real and tough the street life gets. Some classic songs on that record too. Still bump living proof to this day !
THE STREET ANTHEM OF EVERY HOOD IN AMERICA. STILL BANGS TILL THIS DAY.
CLASSIC
This series is priceless. I hope it becomes as legendary as the music itself.
This album is timeless!!!! I love group home
April 1994 is when I bought this single on import...
I listened to the CD on loop consistently: Album version, radio edit and instrumental. I must have played this 1000 times. This track cemented Preemo as THE best for me, and it hasn't changed. The beat still bangs! That floppy disk is priceless!!
Primo has turned into a historian and custodian of hip hop. Legendary
MY FAVORITE BEAT OF ALL TIME
One of the best beats to come out of the 90s, and thats the best decade.
PREMIER!!!!!!!
THAT MAN RIGHT THERE HELD IT DOWN FOR THE ENTIRE EAST COAST!!!!!!!!!
I KNEW HE WAS SPECIAL WHEN “GANGSTARR” CAME OUT WITH THEIR FIRST SINGLE “MANIFEST”!!!!
THAT MAN HELD THE FORT DOWN FROM
DAY ONE AND YOU GOTS TO PAY HOMAGE!!!
SALUTE&RESPECT EACH & EVERY TIME!!!
RESTINPARADISE GURU🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Living proof has some of the best beats ever. Def a classic
DJ Premier is the greatest producer of all time.
We byke! Been missin the series! Classic track from a classic album. You made magic w/ Group Home
One of the greatest and hardest NY classics ever made especially the beat!!!
I still think the Living Proof album is Preemo's most distinguished work yet, every track in the album is a 9 or 10.
LONG LIVE DJ PREMIER
This track made GTA 4 a whole lot better. It really helped give off the gritty vibe of the game, especially at night.
Preemo Is godly. Scratch verses, hard head not beats. Others come close (Pete Rock, Alchemist, Large Pro) but there’s only one master 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man. I remember being geeked when I first heard this. Driving down a country road. Man when that bass came through my eyes just got wide. Sounded like outer space got recorded onto cassette and chopped up in the sp1200
In the 90’s and early 2000’s, any remix that was done by Preemo or Pete Rock was fire.
“Speak ya clout” the most underrated hip-hop track of ‘94
Group home 1st album classic. Dj premier killed it.
That Group Home debut was a classic
You're a big inspiration Preemo, I actually dropped my first beats today on TH-cam!
I NEED TO HEAR THOSE🙏🏿
@@nicholasali2182 If you like old school, you definitely should! Thanks for checking me out! These are not my best beats, so don't run away if you're disappointed :)
@@Koltkaze fam, keep doing your thing 💯and don't sell yourself short✔the foundation of beat making is def there🙏🏿keep doing what you're doing. The vibe was on point ✌🏿
@@nicholasali2182 Thanks! I guess it was not good enough for a sub lmao. Come on man, I need fans haha! Just joking, it's ok, thanks again for checking.
Man this song was my constantly on repeat while I was doing my thesis for the college! The most classic entrance in hip hop, soo smooth. Classic joint Group Home babyyy!!
Drums in this track was bananas! Kicks, and bassline got my woofers bumpin', Preemo! 🔥
Always loved the Isaac Hayes sample on the intro
This album was a masterpiece from beginning to end
THIS ALBUM IS PURE LOVE OF THE CULTURE... SO REMEMBER GOING TO GRAB THIS SHIT ON A TUESDAY DURING LUNCH.... BEAUTIFUL RARE MEMORIES
Still listening to this day. Timeless.
For many that don't understand when "Livin' Proof" came out it was a blaze in tha streets. I bought at hearing that first single, i just knew the whole record would be 🔥. That cassette rarely left my Walkman for 2 months. The foundation had a roster sickWith¡T!!!! I still rock from sug to foxxx to jeru to GH to GangStarr and back again. I want to thank all involved in keeping the ground under with their actions. That's how you what mfrs are keeping their word. I love hearing preem stories about shit that no one knows about within the GangStarr history that i don't know. Ty peace y'all!!!
Supa Star is a classic and still knocks. Much respect DJ Premier for what you have done/do for the culture.
This group home album was so incredible. Premier was on top of his game. Everything super dope from beginning till end
Cameo Sample. Great preemo track. 😊
Didn’t know Cameo’s “Hanging Downtown” could flipped into a hip hop classic like that shout out to Preemo! I still get goosebumps ever time I hear it
This beat is absolutely incredible, to hear the behind the scenes stories makes it even better. Man, you have such as encyclopedic mind/memory. Love that all your stories are so detailed and you remember everyone involved.
There was so much jealousy that this new unproven group had preemo's production behind them. Everyone was screaming how hard the beats were on this project.
Oh man, this record right here! I was working for a regional distributor that serviced Payday Records, so I got this early to get into the DJs hands. This record dropped like a BOMB! So funky and hard! Dap and Malachi were great together, the rhymes may have been simplistic, but their deliveries were on POINT and the chemistry was undeniable! Premier laced these two like no one else could! An instant classic!!!
Incredible just Incredible the BEST record made in the 90s
Another legendary album from beginning to end. Their vocal delivery and exchanges match the beats and set the full scenery...that's how Classics are made!!
Classic song. Great album.
I'm surprised he didn't speak on "Supa Dupa Star" (the '94 Demo of Supa Star) that's on the b-side of "Livin' Proof" single. That version is dope as well.
I am so excited for this. This is my #1 favorite beat by Primo.
Hard to argue against it 🔥🔥
One of my fave beats produced by Premo. His Frankie Beverly and Maze hat and hoodie is pretty as well.
I’ve consistently listened to that album throughout the years. Fantastic work of art I started listening to during my college years. Superstar, Up Against the Wall (Getaway Car), The Realness, and Living Proof were my favorites.
The production on Living Proof is some of Preem's best work.
Fuck yes ‼️‼️‼️ this song is iconic
I’ll go ahead and say it…. As a head that grew up in the 90s, this is my favorite beat of all time….
In my opinion, the illest beat in history. Major classic!
PREMIER IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL DJ.
FACTS. RIP GURU 🌏✌️❤️
it's been a minute!!🔥🔥🔥
Been waiting on this one since the series started 🤣
Legend
Wow so much info great stuff
Speak Ya Clout - been waiting for you to mention this track, probably my very favorite Preemo track
Had this song taped off radio late 94. Never bought the album but the song is absolute classic from mid 90s
welcome back preemo!!
This is the one Iv been waiting for
Best, thank you!!! ❤️
Premo u the best💯
Love your work
One of my favorites. ❤️
I remember, earlier in my career, I used to want to rap on this beat so badly! We didn’t have the internet then so I couldn’t find it. Long live Premo!!!
Outside the dope story, the first thing I noticed was the Frankie Beverly and Maze hoodie and hat. NOW THAT"S DOPE. Family just came from a road trip and MAZE was on repeat the entire way!
Been waiting on this one since this series premiered!
Was rocking that shit when I was in Clinton HS. Shoutouts to Nappy Wear 🏌🏾♂️
Make no mistake, Group Home was made to be good because of Premier. Lyrically, they were amongst the weakest ever. What worked for them was their gritty tone, their two distinctly different & unique voices, and Primo’s beats that helped elevate them. That said, Livin Proof & Supa Star amongst my favorite all time hip hop joints. Primo is a GOD!
So what you're saying is dope beats make sub par rappers sound better.
@@jmorrisey79 hell to the yes. Most of Group Home’s stuff post- Primo is just not good. I absolutely think in this case that they’d have been nothing without Primo.
@@jmorrisey79 in their case: absolutely
Yes. I always wondered what the outcome would be if this was a Gang Starr, or compilation record instead. The beats are perfect.
The lyrics (especially Nutcracker) can be downright awful.
Their 2nd album they improved overall, when it came to their emceeing.
Thank you for every single episode, its always a blast watching em! Please don't ever stop and all the best for you
Incredible tune!!
1 of my favorite joints from back in the day! Good shit Preemo! U gotta do Jay-Z's "A Million Questions/Rhyme No More" next! Those beats go HARD!
So wassup is back, I miss those episodes thanks Preemo to give us all those incredible stories who makes hip-hop 👍👌🙏
Sounding’ right, I’ll be listenin
glad to see you're back. also see you're touring in NYC, might have to check it out one day.
Classic song and album!
MUCH LOVE ❤ TO PREEMO💯YOUR PRODUCTION IS UNTOUCHABLE🙏🏿MUCH RESPECT FROM CANADA 🇨🇦
One of the best Rap beats ever created, thanks Preemo!
That one touch my heart since day 1. Gracias Primooo!!
I was waiting for that material long time as a fan of whole Gangstarr Foundation.Bless you Preemo!
Premo Wuz, Is And Will Always Be Here!!!
Love this beat🔥 can't wait for you to drop another classic track
