Jeru the Damaja – Hot 97 Promo (Radio Rip) (10 Crack Commandments Original)

More ULTRA rare shit. Never ripped before, 90s jewel… Rumors say this turned on the beef between Gang Starr & Jeru the Damaja, but that’s false. Here’s DJ Premier explaining what’s behind the “10 Crack Commandments” beat…

That was actually a promo that me and Jeru did for Angie Martinez on Hot 97. Back then she did a show called the “Hot 5 at 9″ where she would play the top 5 records at 9 o’clock. If you listen to the scratches, before I added “ten” later on when Biggie got it, I just keep going to five right after the beat drops because it was for the top 5 at 9. Puffy was guest hosting the show and when he heard the promo he was like “what the hell, who did this?” and Angie told him I did it. So he goes live on the radio like “yo Premier, if you’re out there, call me.” One of my homeboys paged me and told me that Puffy was on the radio telling me to call him. I turn on Hot 97 and right before I was about to turn the dial off, I hear “Premier, Premier, please call me if you hear me on the radio.” He told me he wanted to buy the promo. I told Jeru and he was like “yo, it’s hip hop. No big deal.” So I sold it to him and Biggie already had a concept, he wanted to call it “Ten Crack Commandments.” I took the “Ten” from a spaceship count down when they go “ten, nine, eight, seven…” And Biggie just rapped over it right there.

THE MYTH IS OVER: Madonna – Don’t Tell Me (DJ Premier Unreleased Break Mix) (Radio Rip)

Another DJ Premier myth is totally vanished folks!! First we had the Nas Is Like sample myth cleared, now this “Don’t Tell Me” by Madonna remixed by DJ Premier is revealed…

Here’s a short timeline for y’all;

– First we had the countless rumors of DJ Premier remix a Madonna song. Some said it was the track “Don’t Tell Me”.
– Then we had some people claiming they had it… Fake…
– Then we had this message from a German Madonna fan site that the Don’t Tell Me Remix by DJ Premier will be pressed on a colored wax in Germany…
– Finally I could ask Premier himself if it’s true about the “Don’t Tell Me” remix. His reply was that there are 2 versions remixed by him send to Madonna. But she didn’t liked it so it never saw the light of day.
– Now we have DJ Premier spinning one version of it…

Enjoy my friends, DJ Premier = GOAT once again:

EDIT: This is not an official remix, but a blend with a never released DJ Premier beat (and never released/rare acapella). This is a beat made for Kanye West’s album “Dark Twisted Fantasy”, but left over by Kanye because he changed the style of his album. Also Bun B had the beat after “Let ‘Em Know” was produced, but he never worked on it. Source: DJ Premier himself.
