While DJ Premier is working with the usual suspects on his upcoming compilation Get Used To Us, he is looking to branch out with some newcomers in the future.
“I saw Drake at the Yankee Stadium [concert with Jay-Z and Eminem for their Home & Home Tour] and he [was] just like bowing and all that,” Premier told XXL. “I’m like, ‘Nah you ain’t gotta do that, man.’ And he’s like, ‘Dude, I wanna work with you.’ And I was like, ‘Dude, I wanna work with you.’”
The Texas native may not share a lot of fans or styles with the Toronto artist, but you can count him as a fan. “He brought lyricism back. For a 22-year-old man, he brought lyricism back. When [Gang Starr’s] Step In The Arena came out, I was 22-years-old. And I just thought about it, I was like, Damn, I was a youngster. I wasn’t 30, 31. I was 22 and coming with heat. And that’s why I like that he’s bringing stuff back.”
Drake wasn’t the only young emcee to catch Premo’s ear and gain his respect. “J. Cole, I like that he’s bringing lyrics back,” he said of the Roc Nation emcee/producer. “Everything doesn’t have to be super, over-lyrical, but we do pride ourselves on cats that can spit, because [rap music] was always a competition about who got the dopest rhymes.”
not even in J. Cole’s league. Drake has high school raps while Cole makes that classic shit!

Produce a track for j cole Premo! Hip hop needs that!!
Some times I wish 2pac was still here, there would’ve been none of these faggot rappers. dj premier suck my fucking dick you cock sucking mutherfucka you dissapoint me.I really loved your music back in the 90s has a kid growing up to them raw gritty obscure unique one of a kind beats, Shit but now all of you muthafuckaz from premier to krs 1 you can suck my fuckin dick.
ONLY A REAL HIP HOP HEAD WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SAYING.
Take It easy turbo, I don’t agree with what he said about drake, but J. Cole is pretty fuckin dope, and Premo can do no wrong in my eyes, it’s not the 90’s anymore buddy, get a grip.
First of all this has got to be the lamest diss to Drake or J. Cole. This is why fuckheads like you always saying they should suck dicks just because they have a different opinions. Man up. It makes you look like a homo. Besides, you don’t know what Pac would even say. Like Immortal Technique thinks it’s a pathetic and gay, it’s crybaby bitches like you who think 2pac would hate them. Think for once and try to catch up motherfucker.
fuck you muthaphucka suck my dick tere ma dee kaley puddie mae mara, mae tere maa pudda tey meraa lulla suck qarte hey maa yudaa. suck my dick on that

Drakes fuckin garbage lyrical Preemo jus showed he doesn’t know WTF he’s talkin about far as rap and Hip Hop go since Lyricism never left to be brought back…There’s always been alot of dope lyricists puttin out music since the mid 80s there hasn’t been a single year where over a dozen lyrically raw albums was released.
Lol, Premo doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to Hip-Hop??? LOL! Aight son, sure.
Obviously fuckin not idiot if he thinks Drake brought somethin back which never left the fuckin culture fool
*a single year where over a dozen albums wasn’t released*
j.coles new track is fucking amazing, cant wait til hiphopdx gets a hold of it all you are gunna flipppp
we totally agree WE as up and coming artist are-selves think so hands down and will be honored to work with them both in the future but until that day congrats on their success
Are you out of your mind Premo. Or do you see money because you want to work with Drake. But hey nowadays you are doing records with everybody for the money just like you did with Christina Aggulera
on a commercial level those dudes are def solid young emcees (even though drake sings half the time), but i wish Primo would shout out ppl he has before (he’s on an interlude on Slaughterhouse’s debut album) such as Crooked I, Royce 5’9, Ortiz, Buddens, Elzhi, Pharoahe Monch, G Rap, nas, masta ace and other ill dudes like this who he’s worked with
This is some bullshit!!!! And I refuse to defend Preme for this outrageous comment,”WORK WITH DRAKE?AND J.COLE??I wondered for a while what exactly led Guru to split with PREME”the God of HipHop beats”,…mystery solved.RIP-GURU..RIP-HIPHOP.
J. Cole? Big co-sign, no question.
Drake? Fuck that Twinky filling butter soft ass rapper. He had balls claiming he idolized cats like Phonte and Elzhi but he does not portray an OUNCE of that lyricism, he’s just commercially accepted. I was a fan of his when he dropped “Successful” but after that it’s all hype.
You have lost all creditability. You say Drake sucks based on mainstream-wise. J Cole sucks balls too. Nothing but a Gay-Z product. Listen to real music like Led Zeppelin not Fake and Gay Ho.
You have just lost all credibility for bringing jay-z into this whole situation. If that was the case, then Drake is a product of wayne. Drake mixtape was dope, but the album = wack. But people still buy into the hype.
Probably as far as comercial rap goes, these two are the best out. But as far as mc’s trying to breakthrough there’s a whole lot more on that level. But you got to appreciate the work he’s been doing with joell Ortiz
Dj premier needs to work with some differnt artist’s, rather than these same cats on that compilation.
Why not do one with rick ross, since he on top of the game at this very moment and your the goat of production. We’ve been waiting too many years for him to collaborate with busta rhymes
And we need preemo to drop another gem with skyzoo
You’re delusional. EMINEM is on top of the rap game, followed by DRAKE. Ross isn’t even GOLD yet! Stop judging rappers based on BUZZ. BUZZ is paid for.
Your fucking delusional you think that all those millions marshall mathers fans are hip hop get serious dude!
Now let me say a Premier and J.Cole collab would be some dope ill foreal. But the comment about Drake. If you have a rapper commenting you and praising you, ya really can’t just down him and be like fuck that. I don’t fuck with Drake but I feel Premo saw Drake being humble and returned the favor.
But yeah, Drake on Premo don’t mix.
J. Cole, yes. Drake, not really.
WTF?? Seriously… Drake? How is Drake in that sentence before Lupe or Jay Electronika? That dude is over-rated…
thats real talk! Don’t think Jay Elec would do good with a Dj premier beat, he should just stick to Mr.Porter, and Just Blaze
J.Cole and Premier collab? that would be awesome.
But with Drake? Nah, Drake is a bitch.
Drake and J. Cole do have some nice lines but after a while it gets boring, they both sound the same on every song it’s repetitive. None of their flows really impress me. One dude is an average rapper, the other actor has emo melodies.
Now on to Premier…what the fuck were you doing with that white boy Nick Javas or some shit that kid is whack not cuz he’s white but damn you thought he was ill enough to produce for? Damn your standards have gone low….honestly the last thing I felt from DJ Premier was the fuckin beats he produced on the Christina Aguilera album those were sick SAMPLES!
yo bro first of all J.COLE is not an avergage rapper I guess when he drops his mixtape and his album you will understand why Iam saying this
Im sorry but i gotta agree with most people on here, J. Cole is the only new cat who i see as a good ass lyricist….Drake is a good rapper but his lines dont appeal to most people and the only reason people want to work with him is because he will make them a boatload of money…Just wait till J. Cole drops his album, that shit is going to be a classic i guarantee…In terms of lyricism J. Cole is on a whole nother level than all these new douschebags (wale, wiz, drake)
would love to see these collabs!!!!

Get @ me leaving.carter@gmail.com
I never thought I would write this, but fuck Premo. Drake ? Really ? Hahaha.
Nothing but respect for Premo & everything he has done, but he’s really starting to fall off. I mean it’s natural for the legends to not make great albums anymore, but you don’t see Pete Rock talking some bullshit like this.
Premo is really influential & him co-signing a puppet like Drake is against everything I thought he stood for. Really disappointed.
Glad to see other people agree & aren’t dickriding.
pete rock did a remix for lady gaga’s “pokerface”, nuff said
premo did a remix mor cristina agularra nuff said
preem didn’t do no “remix mor cristina agularra”, he did 5 joints on her album, which were dope in contrast to the pokerface remix, so get ur facts rite, besides that, christina aguilera is a much better artist than lady gaga
My stomach is turning. Preme, if Drake is bringingf Lyrics back , what has Joell been doin the last 5 years? I guess Preme need that Drake bread, Rent too damn high! HAHAHA!!
not 2 familiar wit diz guy, but at first i said “fuck you” for wantin 2 work wit flake sayin he bought back lyricz and shit. then i forgave him when he said da same for j cole. if diz nigga doez work wit both of em, then j cole will have da betta song. cole iz a beast, flake iz weak. ROC NATION BITCHEZ!
“not too familiar” with DJ Premier? wow!
ok i can the lyricist in J.Cole…. But Premo is way off when it comes to Drake…
You aint heard Drakes Mixtapes then.
this is a great interview he is absolutly right yes joell ortz is lyrical but drake n j. cole r bringing back lyrics on a mainstream level thats the difference when u can spit n make a hit record u made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read folks, Drake got some nice punch lines and he is better than most rappers that on Wayne’s label therefore he is very good in the mainstream. Wayne and T.I. is locked up radio is playing old Jay-z songs and Em is doing a new Em, for being a new artist in hip hop/R&B Drake is doing very well. Wale and B.O.B. haven’t gotten there yet well maybe bobby ray at some level.
*cough* Ortiz
*cough* Yelawolf
PS J Cole is some generic shit.
thank you, i am so glad i am not the only one disgustingly under-impressed with j. coles average content and lyrics. he is so bland. “generic” is the perfect word. fuck j. cole his album aint comin y’all. we seen this before read the signs.
just cause you were young wit gangstarr and he young now. he bringing shit back. what does that mena primo? dont get or agree wit your opinion. ouch primo what the fuck you even saying man??
what’s odd to me is how cats show emcees a lot of love before they make it to the mainstream and then once the whole world knows about them, people start throwing darts at them. it’s not drake or j. cole’s fault that they’re popular. they might not be the best to ever do it or even the best out now, but they’re dope.
SHUT THE FUCK UP PREMIER NOT YOU TOO ?!?
DRAKE FANS dont even know who DJ Premier is
lol
Premier is the man. lol @ the guys comment below me. funny thing is hes prolly right
