Grand Royal Snippet

Oh no, the new tracks are floating like my dice on ice. Remember when I said DJ Premier recorded in the studio a track with Capone-N-Noreaga last year for their upcoming album? That track was first called “Invincible Pt. II” but Premo changed it too “Grand Royal“. I was waiting on this track, and now their is a snippet avaible (off “Channel 10“, coming march 17th):

Blaq Poet – Rap Addiction

NEW PREMO FIRE YES SIR, first of all: I listen to LiveFromHQ now for two months without any new joints, I couldn’t listen for one time and BAM, new DJ Premier song. Second, I get almost fifty mails of people who want to hear the joint as quick as possible, didn’t knew this blog was that famous! Even have a couple aggressive mails too looool. But like I promised, I have it!

And what can I say, the song is fire. The sample is hardcore as usual with three hardcore rappers: Blaq Poet, Lil’ Fame and Shabeeno (of NYGz). Hip Hop will have his eyes open when Tha Blaqprint” drops, that’s for sure now. Enjoy, DJPremierBlog, how we always do it I guess, shout out to DJ Premier:

Gang Starr Homage

Here is a dope track by C-Rayz Walz with Swave Sevah doing a homage to Gang Starr and DJ Premier. It’s from his upcoming album “Who The Fuck Are You?” on Kings Link Records. I think it’s time of the year to do homages. Preems ‘homages’ were always great, “Pop Shots“, “Big L Intro” and many more…

Blaq Poet – Too Strong

Finally I have it, it’s taken from the vinyl. But I’m still waiting on my copy of the single, it didn’t reached Europe yet. Maybe next week, and I still don’t have a message of YRR when the video will be released. Oh well, make sure you cop this one. Or at least “Tha Blaqprint” (coming in a couple of months) if you don’t have a vinyl player. But then you won’t have this song, because it’s a vinyl only track. Just promise me you support DJ Premier in a way, how it should be:

DJ Premier Homage

This is a special one, a track that pays homage to DJ Premier. I can’t say he doesn’t deserve this, because he is one true legend. I’m wondering if he would play it on LiveFromHQ, props to Phonte for the hook up who is actually also on the track together with Royce da 5’9″ and Stat Quo. DJ Premier didn’t produce this track, but Focus did! He did some nice productions is the past, but this one is real dope too. It’s for his new serie where he is going to make more homages. Haha, a very nice effort of these guys! Now I want to see Phonte on a Premo production!! Enjoy the homage to DJ Premier, who is know for 20 years(!) in the game, started with Gang Starr in 1989, congrats:

50 Cent – Shut Ur Bloodclot Mouth

HAHA, good one right here, our first track of 2009 and it looks like I’m one of the first who have this. This is the beat that Premo was talking about that 50 Cent threw away, and because everybody was talking 50 Cent isn’t street and all that he made this song. So this song is a reaction to basically us, I don’t know if he took the beat now official. If it’s going to be on his new album or if you can take this serious. I don’t think so because there ain’t no scratches by DJ Premier! But the beat is straight STREET! Listen to the lyrics close hehe:

D.I.T.C. – Where You At (Remix)

I noticed some people don’t know this track that used this sample so thank god I have the LP! Note that the rip is not mine! I don’t blame you if you don’t know the track because it’s only released official on vinyl. I’ve heard some story, but I really don’t know if it’s true so don’t shoot me. It looks right because I never saw an official print on vinyl of D.I.T.C.‘s selftitled debut album. Ok, now you can follow me; This track is from an exclusive vinyl album by D.I.T.C. called “The Official Version“, it was an album with only remixes on it of D.I.T.C. tracks. The reason why they released it (only on vinyl) was because their debut selftitled album “D.I.T.C.” was released in the same year but not on double vinyl, their were some legal issue’s because that album was already fully released on 12inch singles trough the years. So they couldn’t release it on vinyl anymore (very wierd), then D.I.T.C. say we will release a double vinyl with remixes so vinyl fans have something. And actually I didn’t found any official press on vinyl of D.I.T.C.’s debut album, only promo copies.

If someone got more info he can always contact me, because I don’t have any reliable source. Enjoy this hard ass remix done by DJ Premier with Big Punisher and Milano as guests:

Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth – I Keep The Crowd Listening (DJ Premier Remix)

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, look what I found in my mail today people!! The limited edition promo 12inch of Lord Finesse Remix Album!! Another DJ Premier Blog exclusive!! YES!! It has costs me $180 to get the vinyl so y’all better be happy!!

I loved this remix since it was played once on the radio, but daaaaamn people!!!!!!

But to come back on the money issue, I still think it’s not a fair price tough (like I said in a previous post). Premo fans should get to his music for a fair price, really, somebody can tell me what made this single so much money? The remix album was coming out in 2005/2006, we didn’t see nothing. Now is the remix album is planned for 2010 and for those who has the money can buy the first tracks… Straight bullshit, maybe I missed the point of this whole limited thing or something? I bet they will say “Be happy they pressed it”. But hell I accept it because I’m like you people, have to have everything of the best!! Can you believe I bought two LP’s just to get that 12inch??!!

(Click on picture for better quality…)

Also I took this picture to show how great I am, nah nah lol, it’s to prove I’m not a mp3 collector like some people accused me from. And also show that I support Preem to the fullest and I can post things legal here for personal use. I really believe most of the visitors are those persons also.

AND I’m not going to post the other tracks, even they are a crime to your ears. This is a DJ Premier Blog only and it’s not my job to rip the other tracks (only for my Serato), it will only drive the other 199 owners mad…

So here it is, enjoy once again and try to delete it on your hard disc:

Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth – I Keep The Crowd Listening (DJ Premier Remix) (Prod. by DJ Premier)

Attention (Ladies and gentlemen) We have Lord Finesse (Yeah, it’s
him again. Why don’t you get the place pumping, come on, say a
little something!)
Alright, let me kick this fly intro
Somethin that’s smooth but quite simple
This is my type of groove, so don’t make plans
I don’t care if you hop skip or breakdance
Don’t worry cause you’ll get your chance yet
To get funky and kick the fly dancesteps
At a show I try to maintain discipline
I keep you moving, but also listenin’

Think I’m funky? I’ll be funkier tomorrow
Yo, I’m one tough act to follow
Rip up mics when it’s time to throw down
Make MC’s say: I don’t even wanna go now
All I need is a mic and a hype groove
Two dancers and my DJ Mike Smooth
To spin the wheels and make you shake your body
I kick a party like I know karate
Better yet like I was kickin a volleyball
I step on stage get raw, then I’m outty, y’all
Here we go now, so just stand back
I take a ho, a cheer, or a handclap
Get raw off the same drum while MC’s remain dumb
Don’t worry cause there’s more where that came from
I’m not the type of brother to kick a small rap
Get swift and make a hit and think I’m all that
Cause I elevate, make the fellas break
I drink a 40, lay back, and just celebrate
Shoot and flip the rhymes because I’m swift and wise
Lord Finesse will keep the crowd hypnotized

I’m the Technician a.k.a. the rhyme arranger
Have old folks saying Who was that stranger?
It’s Lord Finesse, so don’t forget to tell em that
Pass me a mic and roll down the welcome mat
I don’t front when it’s time to kick a rhyme or two
I get raw and show the crowd what I could do
And steal a show before others have a chance to
By givin party people somethin funky to dance to
Kickin the lyrics and let the beat get them
Man, I sound groovy even on a weak system
I warm up the scene like a bottle of brandy
And if that fails, then I just go to Plan B
But once I start there’s no need to slow down
As soon as I say One two, here we go now
Rhymes I say structure and analyze
Then say to myself downlow Goddamn, I’m fly
Rhymes’ll stay when I’m gone like a fossile
I’m livin large, stupenous, collossal
Me and Mike Smooth, we’re so magnificient
We keep the crowd movin, but also listenin’

DID I ALREADY TELL HOW MUCH I LOVE LORD FINESSES STYLE??!! He is an ill kid, a legend, A LORD!! Haha

Oh, last year there WAS also a Big L project planned… It was a project of Preem and Lord Finesse cauz the mom of Big L found a lot of tapes back with rhymes. Lord Finesse has those now and they were going to do something with it. Maybe we will see that in 2015 for $80…

Rewind that track now!!!
