2013 DJ PREMIER INTERVIEW VIA BONAFIDE

BONAFIDE EXCLUSIVE: DJ PREMIER INTERVIEW


On the 28th of February, Chris Martin will be coming to London for a rare DJ set at Plan B in Brixton. Not to be confused with dullard rock front men who’ve gone on to marry slightly boring actresses, this Chris Martin is a man who needs no introductions. Well, at least when he goes by his stage name.
So let me reintroduce living legend DJ Premier. Consistently ranked as one of the best hip-hop producers of all time and most likely a huge influence on your favourite musical idols, DJ Premier came to prominence in the 1990’s as one half of rap icons Gang Starr, alongside Guru (RIP).
Besides producing Gang Starr’s entire catalogue, the man has produced beats for almost everyone in the game including Heavy D, KRS-One, Mobb Deep and Big Daddy Kane and his inimitable boom bap sound has graced such seminal albums as Notorious B.I.G’s Ready to Die and Nas’s Illmatic.
So when I found I had an opportunity to interview him, to say I was excited is an understatement.
I caught up with Premier over email a week ahead of his show to talk about the politics of rap, his favourite producers and how the digital age is making producers lazy.
In previous interviews you’ve talked about how the ghetto represents the purest form of realism for you and you try to honour that with hip-hop. Do you think mainstream hip-hop honours that reality or do you think it exploits it?
The mainstream has always been about exploitation. That’s nothing new. Once something grows into a larger audience, it all gets watered down. The decision to go mainstream versus underground is the fight that we all struggle with because we all want to get rich from our hard work in whatever craft we do.
You’ve been consistently rated as one of the all time greatest hip-hop producers of all time. Where would you rate yourself on that list? Who would you rate as your all time favourite producer?
My all time favourite producer in hip-hop is Marley Marl. He made the beats bang and he also scratched on the tracks that he produced as well as establishing a sound. I could always tell when it was a Marley Marl production. I followed closely in his footsteps when it comes to that.
Is there a particular beat that you’ve produced that you’re most proud of? Any classic beats that you wish you would have produced? Is there a particular genre you most like to sample?
I’m proud of all of my beats. There are a few, I wish I made Eric B. For President, Shook Ones, We Gonna Make It, P.S.K. (Schooly D), The World Is Yours, Simon Says, and Ebonics by Big L. I sample all genres. I switch it up all of the time so it really doesn’t matter. It’s all about how you hook it up.
What kind of effect do you think the age of digital music is going to have on up and coming producers?
The digital era makes producers lazy. They don’t own any vinyl, they don’t understand what it’s like to record to tape, and they don’t physically go shopping for the music. Everything is one touch of a button and they have it all instantly. That is not what made hip-hop original and fun. If they don’t do the research, they will be limited to moving forward with the success that we already have. The pioneers of this music must be respected in order to open the next doors for the future.
You’ve said previously that you ‘live in the underground but take trips into the mainstream’. Do you think that there’s a delicate balance between the two or do you think the mainstream is having a beneficial impact on hip-hop?
Speaking for myself, I know how to juggle the mainstream and keep my underground ties intact. I love commercial music when it is done right. There is good commercial and there is bad commercial. There is good underground and bad underground.
You’re coming to London for a show on the 28th with Statik Selektah. What’s your take on the English off-shoot of hip-hop, aka grime?
I have been coming to England ever since I was twenty with Guru and Gang Starr. London Posse was the popular hardcore group back in 1990. It has continued to grow for many years and I’m open minded to all music as long as I can understand the language, which in most cases in Europe is the problem since it’s so global and the different languages make it difficult to translate. Americans have a short attention span to learn. Otherwise I welcome it all.
What do you think it takes for someone to make it in the industry these days and has that changed since the 90s?
If you want your career to come easy, then it’s not for you. You MUST pay dues in order to get to the level that I’m at. I don’t respect the easy way into a career because it will be taken for granted and the passion to keep it going won’t last.
What advice would you give up and coming producers/rappers who are trying to make in the industry right now?
Always compare yourself to everyone that you respect in the business and create your own style to gain the respect of your peers…
What are some of the hardest lessons you had to learn when you were coming up and launching your own career?
I learned you that must pay dues in order to appreciate making it big in any industry. A lot of doors will be slammed in your face and friends can turn into enemies because they feel entitled to what you have become. You lose people along the way but if you’re passionate about your career, you will get over it and continue to kill them all with success.
Were there any ever doubts when you were starting out that you might not have the chance to be discovered?
I have never doubted myself. I know my capabilities and I love competition. It’s healthy and fun to stay sharp. It goes with the territory. I knew I would eventually make it but I didn’t put a date on it.
What can we expect from DJ Premier in 2013? What are you most excited about?
I’m excited about anything that I work on. It’s a part of why I still do what I do. NYGz, Khaleel, Bumpy Knuckles & O.C., Lady of Rage, Heather B, Pete Rock –vs- Premier, M.O.P., Joey Bada$$, Ill Bill, Czarface, Kool Sphere, Immortal Technique, Ea$y Money of ST.

NEW DJ PREMIER 2013 INTERVIEW



What's the latest on your album and what should your fans look forward to you from you in 2013? I have my label Year Round Records and I also have my production company Works Of Mart Inc. Me and Bumpy Knuckles dropped an LP back in March 27, 2012 called :Kolexxxion” and we toured all over Europe in September and October of that year. We will do domestic shows to support it soon. I also am releasing for the first time consistently albums and EP's from artists such as MC Eiht whose EP “Keep it Hood” was just released on January 4, 2013. We will share his label Blue Stamp Music and my company Works of Mart and release the full length LP “Which Way Iz West”. Also I have a group out of the Gang Starr Foundation from the Bronx and uptown Manhattan called NYGz, and they will drop before summer. I have an artist from Houston, Texas named Khaleel, he will be dropping an EP in a few weeks and then an LP this summer called “Already.” Then there's D.I.T.C Inc. with Showbiz producing most of the project to showcase the younger generation of spitters that run circles around these popular radio rappers musically and lyrically. Then I am working with Lady of Rage, Joey Bada$$, Dynasty, Immortal Technique, Kool Sphere of Verbal Threat, E. Hart, Bumpy Knuckles and O.C.LP, and the highly anticipated Peter Rock vs. Premier LP. I stays busy.

If there was a biopic made about your life, what actor would play you, who would direct it and who would some of the cast of characters in the film be? To play me would be either my twin brother Talib Kweli, Martin Lawrence, that's off the top of the head. I would get John Singleton or F. Gary Gray to direct it. The rest of the characters would be my true friends old and young. They are the most bugged out group of people that I consider loved ones. I don't want a biopic done on me though. I'm happy that people recognize my gift and I just will keep giving them music and I am fine with just that. Guru had many timeless lyrics, but if you had to choose just one of verses, what would your favorite Guru verse of all time be? I could never pick just one great Guru verse. He has way too many great ones. If you asked me for a few answers to that question, then I could answer it, but since you didn't ask...... Talk about the love you have for hip hop culture and music in general? What more is there to say? I'm 46, and I was here way before the culture started, so I wholeheartedly understand the mechanics of Hip Hop from every element from Breaking, DJ-ing, MC-ing, Beatboxing, Graffiti and all of the music that we had before Hip Hop existed. When are you at your creative best and what keeps you driven? I am at my creative best when I hear dope shit and when I hear wack shit. I'm inspired either way to make a banger. I'm guessing it's very important for you to “back-up” all your music and sound files. When was the last time your computer crashed on you where you lost music? It is a MUST to back up everything and I definitely do that. I recently was in Hawaii for a wedding and I was in my hotel room on my day off re-dumping files to my new laptop it took a long time and I still am not done updating it, but at least I have ALL of my files. Photobucket You list scoring a film as something you want to accomplish. How has reaching that goal been coming along? I dream of getting that opportunity and I am still waiting for it, but in the meantime I have plenty of work to do. You've said that you would have no problem working on a a Miley Cyrus or Justin Beiber record, would you ever do an electronica record? If so, what would it sound like, what sounds would you incorporate and would it have a hip hop feel since that's the culture you came from? If I did an electronic record, it would have the elements of what's popular now but it would still be unique where it would have no problem standing out amongst the current popular ones that bang in the clubs. I always want to be unique and different with my work. I might just do that style of music and release it under an alias. Back in the day, hip hop was more rooted in story telling, the struggle and the streets, where emcees seem to put time and emphasis on the lyrics as well as the message. Whereas some may say it isn't so much the case today. Is that the fault of the artists of today or just a result of the generation they came from? It is not the artists fault. The industry and radio have made rap music very corporate and watered down. You seem to “give back” hip hop a great deal and “naturally” educate the younger generations, as an ambassador even a professor in some cases, if you will, why is it important for you to give back and teach? It is important to give back because I love the Hip Hop culture. I DJ, produce and I'm a recording artist because those are the jobs within the culture that I am qualified to do at a high level. Correctly. I respect the founding fathers and sisters of this culture and refuse to misrepresent it in a bad way. I forever live Hip Hop.

DJ PREMIER INTERVIEW

Also be on the lookout tomorrow for our interview with Bumpy Knuckles AKA Freddie Foxx and his thoughts on the new album as well. Illuminati 2G is here with DJ Premier, hows it going? Good man, all is well, just lounging at the Nas rehearsal at the VEVO awards that he is doing with Pete Rock. Pete is on the turntables interrupting my interview. Shouts out to Pete say what’s up to everybody Pete: What it do! March 27th you have your new album entitled Kolexxion dropping with Bumpy Knuckles. Tell me a little bit about how the project came together for the both of you. Really it is called Kolexxion because it is a collection of songs that we did together since 2005, 2006. That includes the Nas record, Turn Up The Mic, that is from 2006 and it was released already as a single, but we just redid the track. There are also alot of updated and newer beats on the album as well and I sent those to Bumpy to see if he was feeling them and wanted to add new songs to the project. He ended up using all of the beats and I told him let’s just go ahead and make this a official album. The Nas track I just went back then and redid the beat, even though lyrics wise it is from 2006 and give it a more modern sound. I mean he was talking about being married on the track and he is not married anymore, but for me history is history. It’s not so much what you think of it as it is about what you do with history and we decided to embrace it and touch it up a bit. There are 8 new beats that no one has heard before that were made for other artists. We have The Life, which was on a 12 inch that I dropped years ago. The Key is on there, P.A.I.N.E., these are older tracks and then we just took the newer ones and mixed them all together. After this album what is next for you and your label, Year Round Records? The NYG’z are next, they are dropping a album. It’s called Hustler’s Union, Dom produced the whole album and I am really happy and excited for this album. This is that gritty, street New York sounding album that really sounds like the city. It is not on that bring NY back tip, it just sounds like the city, musically and lyrically. I also have a artist from Houston, Texas named Khaleel. He has a album coming out entitled Already and I also have Teflon from M.O.P. 1st Family. This is a album he had back when he was on Def Jam years ago and we gave it a tune up and a face lift to it. The album will have Joell Ortiz, Styles P, Saigon, Jaguar Wright, Krumb Snatcha are all on it. The album is called Contraband and it will drop through my label and Works Of Mart production company as well. Year Round Records is geared more towards newer artists and Works Of Mart for the vets. Lady Of Rage will also be coming out and that will be on Works Of Mart. Me and Pete Rock are also doing a album together, it’s a battle album so we are working on that. I did 2 joints for Busta Rhymes new album, which he just called me yesterday and said he wants another beat, I am working on a Slaughterhouse joint right now as we speak. Did I miss anybody? Umm Immortal Technique, 38 Special, look out for him, he is from Rochester, New York, my man Kool Sphere from Verbal Threat, Inspectah Deck from the Wu Tang we got a joint that is popping. This is just some of the latest stuff that I have been banging out and I am looking forward to everything. I just wanted to go over with you 3 of some of my favorite DJ Premier produced tracks. First is JFK To LAX on the Gangstarr Moment Of Truth album.

Never seen before flicks of burners on trains, in layups, train yards, action shots, and in depth stories behind many missions. SHOROZ, Dome, Zoo, Mirage, Sketch, DC3, Poke, Epic, Roz, and many others are featured in this book including myself. 300+ pages of high gloss photos, looks more like a college text book, pure quality body of work. Get it now here! http://www.schifferbooks.com/newschiffer/book_template.php?isbn=9780764337208 This true story and retrospective documents the life and times of members of The Destiny Children (TDC) graffiti crew from 1985 to 2000. From Long Island, New York, The Destiny Children/Unlimited Styled Artists commemorate the 25-year history of the crew and their impact on the New York City subway graffiti era. This large collector's book is loaded with 500 color images of original art ranging from burners on hand ball courts to pieces on tractor trailers to works throughout the New York City subway system. Works by many established NYC graffiti artists are featured, including founding members DC3 and SHO. Other original members featured are SHOROZ, BEAVER, LAE, LAC2, ROE, DOOJ, SHIM, and ONE2.

Alongside the visual accounts of these artistic exploits are dozens of true stories and recollections that uncover the reality of painting in yards, lay ups, racking spray paint, fights, graffiti beefs, and police raids. See what made TDC take extraordinary risks so their street art could be seen by the public in their never-ending quest for fame. An ideal history for artists, art historians, street art enthusiasts, anthropologists, and urban dwellers.

NEW GANGSTARR CD COMING


DJ Premier Prepping New Gang Starr CD/DVD

In a recent interview with XXLMag.com, DJ Premier revealed that he has a disc’s worth of unreleased Gang Starr songs as well as hours of video footage that he plans to edit for commercial release.

According to Preem, he has at least five songs with Guru, and there are people overseas that are willing to give him around eight songs to remix. “There are guys in Europe who say that they have seven or eight,” he said. “It’s songs he did with them and they never finished it and they said I can have them. They reached out and were like, As long as you’re doing it. You can have the vocals. They are all brand new, from like a year and a half ago. I listened to them and I’ll make them shits sound like we were together. Well, we will be together because spiritually, he’s with me for the rest of my life.”

Along with the CD of new music, he is currently editing thousands of hours of video footage that he plans to put together for an accompanying DVD. “I have footage from the very first show we ever performed,” he shared. “It was Ice-T, Queen Latifah and Monie Love. She was in the bathroom nervous trying to remember her rhymes for ‘Ladies First.’ Special Ed told her it would be ok and then Monie Love killed it. It was us, Tribe, Latifah and then Ice-T. Ice T introduced me to a DAT machine. I was like, ‘Wow.’ This was 1989. I have that tape.”

“I’m putting together a Gang Starr DVD because I’ve been filming since 1989,” he continued. “I did all the filming until 1993. Then I started bringing guys with me. I have hundreds and hundreds of tapes of me and Guru arguing in the airport. Him and Shug fighting. Guru tried fighting everyone. Now, you look at it and it’s like, Damn, I miss that.”
