DJ Premier Tells All: The Stories Behind His Classic Records
Without a doubt, DJ Premier is top-five dead-or-alive, one of the greatest hip-hop producers ever, and your favorite producer’s producer won’t tell you any different. The Houston, Texas native’s sound, which consists of chopped samples looped over crisply punched drums, and accented with a signature scratch chorus, hasn’t changed much, but still fits as the perfect hip-hop soundtrack for New York’s Timberland-boots-certified street aesthetic. Even after 22 years in the game, reports about his production credits possibly surfacing on the upcoming albums of everyone from Drake to Immortal Technique keep fans on their toes. His continuous relevance asserts that East Coast boom-bap sound is still beloved by many, and upcoming projects like the collaboration album with Pete Rock will only maintain the flame. With that said, to the jizzing joy of those who masturbate to MPC noises, we recently went to the legendary HeadQCourterz (formerly known as D&D Studios) in Manhattan, to hear the master craftsman share anecdotes behind some of his all-time classics as one-half of the legendary Gang Starr and also as a producer for all-time greats like Jay-Z, Nas, and Notorious B.I.G. Records certainly accumulate dust, but resume of a legend never gets old.
Wild Pitch Records Tribute: Rarities & More
This post is a tribute to Wild Pitch Records. Gang Starr’s label from ’89 till ’90.
Wild Pitch Records was a hip hop record label started in the mid 1980s by Stuart Fine and was eventually distributed by EMI and eventually acquired by Jay Faires, who tried to reactivate it as part of his short-lived JCOR Entertainment label. Artists who released records under this label include Main Source, Lord Finesse, Ultramagnetic MCs, Chill Rob G, Gang Starr, UMC’S, O.C., Brokin English Klik, Hard knocks, and the Coup. Since the majority of its albums were released in the early 90’s and went out of print, Wild Pitch re-released their catalog on April 22, 2008.
I was boring through my hard disc and this popped up. Some never released/rarities/promos/demos from Wild Pitch just before they wrapped the label up. I remember downloading it years back on some vintage old skool forum LOL. The recordings have a date range from 1995 to 1997. The quality sound isn’t that great though. But I thought it would be fun to share, very interesting ;). 90s Hip Hop >>> my/your life.

Real hip hop is a movement, nobody can stop it. Just saying. Now that I think about it, kinda weird how interested I am in 90s hip hop… or am I not the only one? haha.
