the dream of hearing some new prem... [this is your life (sort of) part 2]
is DJ Premier the greatest producer of all time? i don't know but i figured i had to post something on him just cause. i'm gathering what i call "Essentials" of the great soul singers and influential Hip-Hop producers and i started with Primo. i will say this: he can make anyone sound good over his soundscapes. no one can make 4-bar loops sound amazing for over 4 minutes better than Premier. shit, he probably could resurrect vanilla ice's career with one sole produced album by him. if you know his work you should agree with me, he's the best at making an average rapper sound good. now i'm not gonna name examples but you probably know who i'm talking about when saying this. when you have your own signature production style, you've reach the mark between a good producer and a great one. now i'm saying that in the perspective of making good music, not having a signature sound like a kazoo or something. there's too many damn songs in his catalog to pin down his greatness, trust i tried to think of one pinnacle track. you can't do it. so you'll probably go with a easy favorite of yours. maybe because your fave rapper is blessed with his sounds. or one everyone will notice and somewhat agree on. or that rare track no one has heard but you, and it's your sole mission on earth to share it with the world. but before i reach in the goodie bag for a song let me ask this question: is there any song that the rapper out shined Prem's production? off top i can't think of shit and i probably won't have a response when the next blog goes 'round. what song i will say is creative in it's own right is NaS' "I Gave You Power" off his now recently-dubbed classic, 
It Was Written. basing a premise previous used by Organized Konfusion with their song "Stray Bullet", God's Son talks the tale of being a gun (instead of a bullet in O.K.'s case). definitely one of the greatest songs from both parties (when the fuck is their album they suppose to make together coming out? Scratch you owe me $$$!!!). this is probably my favorite song on the LP. so without further ado, and before i run out of shit to say about this man here it is, enjoy:
