    2. Nardwuar is the man for interviews, and Premo truly is one of the best ever. So modest and professional. Big ups to both guys, good interview.

    3. grandpa premier needs to sit his old ass down. all his beats sound the same and are boring as fuck. he should hand the torch to new producers such as lex luger, t-minus, boi-1da, 40, left brain and hit-boy.

      1. show respect you lil bum ass young nigga, primo has 25+ years in the game. all of the names you mention them niggas are some come and go producers. plus their beats all sound the same.

      2. shut the fuck up. go listen to your corny producers then that won’t be around in a couple years whilst preemo will still be making bangers

      3. Y’all hella DUM DUM DUM DUMB Premo is wack as fuck only good beat he ever did is Mass Appeal the rest ain’t shit

      4. Yall little kids are outta your minds! You just crave something new, never something good. Dj Premier is legendary…I haven’t heard shit from boi-1da in a while…same with hit-boy…40’s beats are all the same, same with Lex Luger.
        He outta just light your weak ass on fire with the torch really.

      1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

    4. Premier is a fuckin legend no doubt, but The Alchemist is that new wave. If he decides to pass the torch, he should pass it to The Alchemist.

    5. Some of the comments in this thread are fuckin atrocious. You people make me sick whether you’re trolling or not.

      1. @ J. – Nah, it’s too big. It looks like he’s rocking XL or bigger, that style’s played-out. Slim-fit medium T-shirts look best on regular sized dudes.

    6. fuck fab five freddie, that dude ain’t real, or an artist. he was recently exposed of stealing all the ideas in his work, as well as stealing exact letters from other graffiti writers. definition of a toy. but damn i love premo.
