DJ Premier’s Def Jam 30 Mix (Mixtape)

All month long, Def Jam has been hosting mixes by 30 different DJs to celebrate the historic label’s 30th anniversary. With the likes of Tony Touch, DJ Scratch, Mister Cee and Afrojack involved, it’s been a star-studded affair. But the label saved the best for last. DJ Premier just unveiled his mix for the masses, and it’s something to behold. Check out Primo’s mix below, and head over to Def Jam’s site to check out the other 29 mixes by some of the best in the game.

Sorry for the bad quality, that’s how Def Jam uploaded it… And fuck those hashtag shit man, I get it you can use it @Twitter but fuck you if you think it’s cool to add it everywhere 😀

M.O.P. – Heistmasters (Still At It) (Prod. by DJ Skizz) (Scratches by DJ Premier)

From the upcoming M.O.P. EP “Street Certified”, I’ve heard the version on the EP will be without the scratches. This is was M.O.P. has to say about it:

Billy Danze: You know, that’s traditional M.O.P. We want to make sure we keep everybody in tune even though we’ve come of age now and we’re getting a little bit older in the game, that’s our background. That’s how we ate for years. Like, we literally had to go out and take it to eat. So that’s what we did. It’s that M.O.P. thing, man. It’s that “Ante Up.” And a lot of times it’s not about take like “take what you have off.” It’s about “Ante Up,” like, ante up those props. Give us what we deserve.

Lil’ Fame: I went to my boy’s crib (DJ Skid) to do some other shit and he wound up playing that beat. What I like about walking in my boy Skid’s crib, he always got something on the machine that he just made. I always just press a button and that joint was playing. Heist Masters was just a story about what we used to do before we started rapping, about robbery and shit like that. I put the story together and we ran with that shit.
