AZ one of the most underated rappers ever. I think his problem was, he didn' choose the right producers for him in his albums. After the classic "Doe Or Die" I remember "Pieces Of A Man" being quite a letdown.
D'Angelo - Devil's Pie is the jam too, first heard it in the movie Belly and never thought about who produced it until now... of course it was you Premier! Much love
@@AYALI444 Yeah, but a lot of people are shocked when I tell them it's a Preemo beat. The same with Devin The Dude - Doobie Ashtray. I guess they didn't see them working together.
One of the best Remixes ever. DJ Premier kept the same smoothness for the Remix. AZ had a great verse and is one of the greatest rappers ever. Salute to Preme and D'Angelo. Two GOATS
AZ is imo the most underrated emcee in the game. Period. He supposed to be Jay Z/NAS status all day long. He EVERY BIT as nice as they are, then some!!
The artistry on preemo’s remix beat, AZ’s verse, D’angelo’s velvet vocals AND the video was exceptional. One of the most pure and fresh remixes ever. Legit.
@@brandanevans7403 There are prolly articles for all the tracks that he’s covered in this series but nothing beats hearing it from him personally (in my opinion).
As a 43 year old white dude who grew up obsessed with hip hop during the Golden Era-I can’t get enough of Preemos channel. Please do “Who’s Gonna Take the Weight” from Step in the Arena
This is the best series going on. Preemo you are the best King. D’Angelo hasn’t put out a lot of albums but he dropped 3 classics. Throw AZ on there this is a legendary joint. I would love for Preemo to break down tracks for the ill Lady spitters he produced for. Bahamadia Rugged Ruff or 3 tha hard way. Lady of Rage unfukwitable. Salute 🔥🔥🔥
Bro, The Come Up is legit one my favorite tracks ever. Legit in my top 5 Premo tracks. And AZ just floats over that mfer effortlessly. And then you add the video to that? That’s a classic, hands down.
I must admit I completely forgot about this track...I remember it playing on radio non-stop...AZ killed that verse...dude was hungry ... Amazing track so much so that when you hear that "Dah, Dah,Dah"... it transports straight to that era 🔥👌
peace, dj premier! we've met (i was VIP @ the kolexxion kickoff at the highline in 2012 .. courtesy of mr. bumpy knuckles 🙏 p.s. i blew off my seat to go front row for the love 🥋). they say "never meet your heroes" but i can always say you were the exception to the rule. big big fan. big big collector of your vinyl & very grateful we crossed paths in this life. thank you for everything
DJ Premier thank you so much for everything you have done through music being an influential person in my life and being a master of your craft and for these episodes they are so cool I love them so much keep bringing them on do your whole catalog please ha😎🤙🏻
Premo! thank you for creating this series. You are one of my biggest inspirations as a producer. Seeing the breakdown of the tracks inspires me even more to hone my craft and get better.
The way Preemo left us on a cliffhanger with the Voodoo record LOL. Mann now I want to hear that one too. This was another great of course. Always appreciate the vivid details he gives to his story.
Proud to be from an era when you just expected the remix to be different and in a lot of cases hotter than the original! Lol.. which is not a knock but a compliment to everyone involved from top to bottom! You had to bring your A+++ Game!! Another Fiya story from the LIVING legend!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:12 that's why I've been digging the Silk Sonic project that just dropped an album. Throw any one of those songs on at a party and you'll see men and women vibing out to it.
This show is a TH-cam crown jewel
Love it
@@dassolosyndikat5113 samd and I completely agree it A. Rush
One of my favorite shows .and i know he has 1000 more stories
Truth be told, AZ career should’ve been bigger than it was. His flow was incredible!
You hear his new album? Doe or die 2 just came out
Was??
@@kika117 exactly lol
@@jeffyaremko4530 meh. AZ still sounds great, but those beats were not it. Even the Pete Rock joint was disappointing.
AZ one of the most underated rappers ever. I think his problem was, he didn' choose the right producers for him in his albums. After the classic "Doe Or Die" I remember "Pieces Of A Man" being quite a letdown.
AZ had the perfect verse on there, straight up never heard a rapper go in smooth and kill it effortlessly
D'Angelo - Devil's Pie is the jam too, first heard it in the movie Belly and never thought about who produced it until now... of course it was you Premier! Much love
You should know a Premier record by the sound of it
@@AYALI444 prob the most easily iconic sound to recognize
My favorite scene in a movie with a song
@@AYALI444 facts. Unique identifiable sound that never gets old. Devil’s pie is a banger
@@AYALI444 Yeah, but a lot of people are shocked when I tell them it's a Preemo beat. The same with Devin The Dude - Doobie Ashtray. I guess they didn't see them working together.
This such a dope series! A hip hop nerd’s heaven
Fr fr
One of the best producers EVER!!!!
Fo sure.
Premier, Dilla and Madlib are in my top three..
top 5
The goat, get it right.
You mean THE Best Producer EVER!!
Might be the best. I can’t think of a hip-hop producer who had a run like him. He was killing it for like 20 years straight.
This series is beyond amazing
D'Angelo is a legend man, his tracks were so dope
True but he doesn’t release and that’s what’s bores me with him, by the way the Song Lady “original” was produced by Raphael Saadi.
My brain's frequency is tuned to DJ premier's beats. Can't wait for your brilliance of selection for the samples on Mathematics - mos def
That's everybody's brain frequency.
I wanna hear stories of
The Milittia 1,2 & 3
Above the Clouds
Nas Is Like
Kick In The Door
Pop Shots
Battle
Classic
N.Y State of Mind too
and OC - My world
Group Home - Supa Star
He already did abov the clouds
"Tha Squeeze" aswell
@@eruJDaoust you had me hyped there for a second..but nah he hasn't done above the clouds

i think i will cry when Primo will show the creation of Up Against The Wall (getaway car mix) made for Group Home
Really hope a Devil's Pie one is coming. Love that record soooooo much
This song was so dope. I was in high school and thought nothing was hotter than this at the time. Preemo made magic.
I love this song. I have it on so many playlists, that I listen to this song about once a week. The trifecta.
the Brown Sugar Beatminerz remix bangs hard too and it features Kool G. Rap
G Rap verse in his top 5. Crazy! Flow was off the meter...
The mid 90s r&b remix era is my favorite era!
This dudes catalogue should be illegal, way too much dope! 💯
Lady Remix is one of my personal favorites!
This series is ONLY!!!! 4 true HipHopHeadz!!!!! Song was super dope!!!
We need the story behind that legendary picture with Preemo, Al, and Dilla together!
Yessir 💯💯🔥

DJ Premier is the best.
Much love, Premo. Thank You, sir.
One of the illest remix ever. Absolutely magnificent. The beat is ridiculous and AZ smoked this.
Old but gold! I Miss this time!!! Tnx Preemo

I think this is my favorite TH-cam show right now. Thank you for sharing the joy, Primo. 🖤
So Wassup the best series to ever hit TH-cam
Im still waiting on the AZ - The Format one. This a masterpiece and i need the story behind that Preemo!
Very dope. D’angelo is a great artist. AZ complimented this song very well. I hope you do one of these for AZ’s the Format or the Come Up💯
Bro, The Come Up is legit one my favorite tracks ever. Legit in my top 5 Premo tracks. And AZ just floats over that mfer effortlessly. And then you add the video to that? That’s a classic, hands down.
Facts..Both them records are serious problem 💯🔥
Premo Thursday! Love every Episode!
This version stays in my 90s RnB playlist. Salute to Preemo!
Much Appreciation.
Please support these videos ya'll, we can't get enough of this🔥
Love to hear the real Soul singers with no Autotune mumbo jumbo. Love that beat tho. Primo, King of the Golden Era!
Big respect to Primo for taking the time to tell all these stories.
This song never gets old, and the remix is even better!
THANK YOU SIR PREEMO FOR THIS PIECE OF HISTORY
I must admit I completely forgot about this track...I remember it playing on radio non-stop...AZ killed that verse...dude was hungry ... Amazing track so much so that when you hear that "Dah, Dah,Dah"... it transports straight to that era 🔥👌
Love the series❤️
Would love to see a breakdown to Above The Clouds
I've heard this story..its basically..
Preem - I need you to do a feature.
INS + What's the track about?
Guru - Your Mental
INS - Say less
@@treypao6287 oh, well, maybe another beat then
I actually just came across this interview recently where Preemo talks all about it: th-cam.com/video/29m_3gpYvDI/w-d-xo.html
@@nFluenz Nah..I hear you. I wanna hear the So Wassup version as well.
deck and premo talked about it together there's a video of it
This man is a treasure

....completely forgot about this preemo remix, wow!!
I watch every episode. Love it! How about CODE OF THE STREETS 🙏🏽
That was nice. Classic Gangstar
That's what's up! I can't believe that all that greatness was saved on floppy disks!
One of the greatest remixes of all time. AZ and DAngelo killed it.
Damn Primo, you’re legit a G O D and the GOAT , no competition can touch what you’ve done for this art of ours
Another classic! Everybody had to have all the 12"s off that album! ❤️
I still love this remix.🔥🔥🔥
These videos give me life ! especially this one cause the remix was perfect ! Really hope Premier keeps making these … his catalog of music is A1 !
When i first heard this version it blew my mind!! I saw video first. This jawnt was so thorough!!
What happened to the topless white woman on the vinyl cover?? haha
DJ Premier DJ Quik greatest producers of all time
i could listen to Primo talk for hours.
Common - 6th Sense, CNN - Invincible, AZ - The Format, Gang Starr - The Militia ... Up next, please 🙏✌️!!!
Never clicked this fast, great series. Lady (Remix) is a dope track.
Mannn AZ verse on that remix is so crazy
My fav new series! Thanks PREMO!
Beautiful.
So since we are doing remixes, what about exploring the whole Janet Jackson “ together again” PREEMO remix. So many hits, BUT THAT JOINT!!! Crazy!
YEAAA! That would be amazing to hear! Thanks for bringing that one up!
Two versions as well!
One of DJ Premier's best beats! So slept on!
Absolutely loving this series Mr. Premier! Please keep it up!
DJ Premier thank you so much for everything you have done through music being an influential person in my life and being a master of your craft and for these episodes they are so cool I love them so much keep bringing them on do your whole catalog please ha😎🤙🏻
Legendary Premo all time favorite producer top 5.
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE ON TO THIS SERIES! Premier you PV’s FINEST ALUMNI!
I love how Preem's voice switches like one of his beats. Living legend.
Premo! thank you for creating this series. You are one of my biggest inspirations as a producer. Seeing the breakdown of the tracks inspires me even more to hone my craft and get better.
We need a mathematics breakdown
yessss
Tracklib recently did a sample breakdown, AMAZING: th-cam.com/video/--A_89lTuiA/w-d-xo.html
I'd like to see that too
That would be crazy!
The way Preemo left us on a cliffhanger with the Voodoo record LOL. Mann now I want to hear that one too. This was another great of course. Always appreciate the vivid details he gives to his story.
love this series!! please do Mos Def "Mathematics"!
The best preemo remix ever!!
The original lady is a fkn classic also the games version all with Jeremih singing the hook is fkn amazing 🔥
THANKS FOR DOING THIS SERIES!
Classic🎙
Timeless record. Classic! 🏆
Yessir! Great segment
Classic remix, would have loved to hear Primo go into his R&B / Soul bag more often
I'm sure he's gonna dig up a few of those. I'm curious to hear the story on how he was picked to produce a Christina Aguilera track.
Absolutely loving this series! It'd be great to hear about "Royalty" if that's on your shortlist!
That verse by AZ is fireeeeeee
dope as always Preem! love the little productions gems to, taking the stab and 16 levels..
Premo....one of my fav producers of all time! such a dope series. love all the little stories behind the scenes...salute to the goat!
Such a great series
Ohhhh I remember this beat, always thought it was just filthy. They even used to play a video with the remix at the time.
Always liked this version never realised it was a Preemo beat... Makes so much sense that it had such a vibe for me now!! #salute
Wait 5-10 years and these videos will blow up
Proud to be from an era when you just expected the remix to be different and in a lot of cases hotter than the original! Lol.. which is not a knock but a compliment to everyone involved from top to bottom! You had to bring your A+++ Game!!
Another Fiya story from the LIVING legend!!
