DJ Premier recently chopped it up with Splash Mag, discussing everything from Tyler, The Creator to his collaboration album with Pete Rock. During the chat, he praised the Odd Future front man for his eccentricities, claiming that the two are actually quite similar.
“He’s dope, straight up. He gets it. I get it. I don’t need to be explained to. I’m crazy, just like him. I was here before him, so he’s just me reborn. You don’t see me acting like this on camera and everything, but I understand it. I totally get him. He’s official,” he said. “You gotta understand that no matter how extreme it gets, you still gotta think for yourself as a human being. Never let the music dictate how you’re supposed to move. Think for yourself. This is the enjoyment of the music and even if this is the way he feels or even if he is that crazy, that’s him.”
Preem also spoke on Pete Rock vs. DJ Premier, a battle album where each producer gets six tracks. He revealed that guests on his tracks include The Beatnuts, GZA and Sheek Louch, and that the album is on the way.
“They’re all going to be crazy. It’s a battle, just for fun. We’re just going to do it and knock it out,” he said, speaking on his crazy co-star. “Pete is just the craziest dude. He’s crazy as fuck. He’s definitely a bug-out. I didn’t know he was a bug-out until going beyond just us being cool. Now, to do an album and do shows with him, you’re dealing with a maniac. He’s a fuckin’ maniac, yo. That’s why he’s funky, but he’s a fuckin’ maniac. Sometimes, I want to throw a bottle at him and be like, ‘You crazy motherfucker!’ But that’s Pete.”
As for his solo album A Man of Few Words, he claims it’s a wrap. “That is over. Yeah, that’s over. I talk too much now, so it doesn’t have the same meaning. But you’ll be seeing a lot.”

LMAO @ the first Anonymous…
DJ premier is a dumbass
You are a dumbass.
A PREMO VS PETE ROCK ALBUM? THE TWO GREATEST PRODUCERS OF ALL TIME ON ONE ALBUM???
The line up looks heavy but why use The beatnuts?
R U Fuckin’ kidding me dude? The Beatnuts have CLASSIC material. Sick beats and off-the-wall lyrics. They are mad under-rated.
U must be bumpin’ “Jenny From the Block” in ur Ipod…do some homework son…
ok they were good, but there beats were better..Not the best MCs in that era!
Primo just is Hip Hop, hate it or love it.
DJ Premier’s next album with Christina Aguilera will be more Hip Hop than the White skaters who listen them.
He’s a fuckin’ maniac, yo. That’s why he’s funky, but he’s a fuckin’ maniac. Sometimes, I want to throw a bottle at him and be like, ‘You crazy motherfucker!’ But that’s Pete.â€
hahahah listening to Premo talk is always a trip
Premier has a point about Odd Future. OF always staying that they are doing what they do, love it or hate it, they don’t care. I’m not a fan of them either. They got a fanbase from what they love doing. People like Premier praising them should be understandable to all you who claim your real or what not.
I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, GuruBids . com
i don’t get why everyone gets so fuckin worked up over odd future. They don’t do it for the fame or money like lil wayne, they don’t act like they’re bigger than they actually are like lil b, they make music and do what the fuck they want with no major label interference. thats why I respect odd future. hate them or not they’re making a lot of noise, and believe me I used to be a stuckup “only 90s or underground hip hop” head and I respect them for being original and I’ve realized that being open to all kinds of music can be very rewarding.
GZA on the Preemo/Pete Rock album?
that’s the first Wu/Preemo collabo since like Above the Clouds. No, there was Rap Phenomenon on the posthumous Biggie album with Meth on it
