In a feature article about you on The Rap Up, it was stated that you will be a headache once you figure out what to call yourself, adding that there is only room for one Preemo in hip-hop. How did you come up with that name for yourself, and are you worried that you will suffer backlash for having a name that is the same as DJ Premier’s nickname?

No, not at all. To answer your first question, they used to call me “Slim.” And obviously another “Slim” (Eminem, aka Slim Shady) came out. I came up during that era. I was with a friend of mine and we were going to a club in Mexico and he said I need a new name. Well what happened was, we got in line at the club in Mexico, and it was our turn to go in and the bouncer said “Esperate, primo” (which means, “hold up, cousin” in Spanish). Me and my homeboy we knew. It was just one of those moments, like a light-bulb went off. Back then nobody was calling Premier “Preemo.” I spelled it p-r-i-m-o, but we found out that it was copyrighted by an Italian company.

Just postin’, if you don’t know now you know haha. You can check more music of him here. I think there is also a german DJ Premier who spins electro/house. And wasn’t Guru once mad at Young Guru for his name?

😀

Because DJ Premier always told us “The Blaqprint” was a pre album prior to the since 2006 announced album “The Best That Never Dunn It” fully produced by DJ Premier. It seems like we won’t see that very soon so Blaq Poet decided to release something different. “Blaq Poet Society” out on June 21th through Brick Records. I love Blaq Poet, do you guys want me to post further tracks of him or not? Because it isn’t really Premo related anymore… it’s up to you. Also shout out to Stu Bangas.

Pete Rock joins us for a superb feature-length interview exploring the making of his new projects with DJ Premier, Smif N Wessun and Camp Lo, plus his forthcoming aspirations to work with Eminem, his contribution to Kayne and Jay Z’s album, as well as a track called ‘The Joy’ which didn’t make Kayne’s album and his desire to be part of The Four Horsemen project. We take time to hear the amazing creative process behind his forthcoming on wax battle with DJ Premier, with neither producer hearing what each other has contributed to the album until it is pressed. As focused and heart-warming as you would expect form such a legendary pioneer, Pete Rock also discusses how many beat she has submitted to Shady Records, his future work with the recently-released Prodigy, the reason for his initial dislike for Kayne West, being disillusioned by the direction hip hop took in the late 90s and the prospect of a new Pete Rock & CL Smooth album. A true classic. Check:

I can’t wait to have my own opinion on who won!! But I know I will have to wait!! 😀

The Lady Of Rage is late for the interview. She’s late for the interview for good reason though – she was in the hair salon having her hair done. When she does arrive we discuss her brand new album “Verbal Abuse” scheduled for a summer 2011 release, production handled 95% by the master DJ Premier, as well as taking a heart-felt look at her career including her time at Death Row Records, her relationship with Suge Knight and Dr Dre and her contribution to the book “How To Rap: The Art and Science of the Hip-Hop MC.

This sounds like one of Preems hardest working years? Who’s next? Too bad we don’t see the albums on time though :D. But I accepted it lmao.

Italy, ONE LOVE!

You gotta love Panchi, he should be president from some country:

On a sidenote, DJ Premier forgives Canibus and is still down to collaborate. Canibus should make a real diss record so we can hear some “funkiest thing since dog shit“. Damn I WANT THAT!! Yo Canibus, just call Preem man… fin.

Canibus asked why, here he has it. DJ Premier clears everything out on a rather typical Premo way:

Lmao, love you for this one (no homo). The beginning track “Blah Blah Blah” is from Just-Ice & KRS-One upcoming collabo album.

After only 2 days of the VladTV segment where DJ Premier tells us Canibus didn’t felt the “Devil’s Pie” beat he released this very anger/emotional track as an answer. Now the same day he’s releasing an open letter to DJ Premier via the internet. It looks like he’s very upset and emotional by Premos words and trying to blame VladTV. Here’s the open letter posted on his social network facebook account:

I’m beggin’ you Preem. Don’t let these spineless magazine writers and fake ass journalists frame the pictures wrong and divide us. I ALWAYS treated you with respect and loyalty. Take 5mins and look at the videos of the shows on my reverb page where I big you & Guru up and listen to the interviews where I spoke on what you mean to me …and HIP HOP. If you really felt that way then why did you say that on camera instead of hollerin’ at me? If you can’t understand why I would be confused by your interview with Vladtv then I don’t know what to tell you. I never knew you felt like that fam. Word. They running with it and it’s not a good look. please turn it around for Hip Hop. I been trynna’ pull the stick up for 3 days now. I’m gonna’ crash Preem. -Canibus

Why doesn’t he just call DJ Premier? I know Premo is always up to talk… And whether it is a diss or not, who cares? The main thing is that he’s very angry at DJ Premier and showing that in public…
