In a recent interview with The Red Bulletin, legendary Hip Hop producer DJ Premier spoke briefly on Kanye’s career, as well as his highly-anticipated fifth album.

Preme noted how Kanye’s emphasis on sampling brought the production technique back to the forefront at a time when synth-laden soundscapes were the norm. “Well, first of all, if you look at all of Kanye West’s output, he actually did a lot to bring back sampling and make it cool again, even though he’s more of a mainstream artist.”

Premier also provided insight on Ye’s new album, revealing that the Chicago producer/emcee would be taking a back-to-basics approach – presumably typical of his debut, College Dropout. “his new album is strictly hard beats and rhymes. He’s totally done with electro. You’re gonna be surprised what you hear.”
