Thanks to DJ Don Juan of Hip Hop Flavas, we are introducing a new segment called "Respect The DJ". The series will honor the backbone of Hip Hop, The DJ.
Over the years, The DJ has taken a backseat to rappers, when in fact people use to come see the DJ first, then the M.C. (i.e. Grandmaster Flash AND The The Furious Five, DJ Jazzy Jeff AND The Fresh Prince.)
Nowadays, there are cats running around calling themselves DJ's, but their mixing and scratching skills are horrible. This month's honoree does not have those problems.
DJ Premier is regarded as one of the greatest DJ's and producers in the history of Hip Hop. Originally from Houston, TX , then later moving to Brooklyn, NY, Premo and the rapping partner Guru created Gangstarr in the late 80's and he has been a legend ever since.
During this week we will present videos and songs produced by Premo. Today we will kick things off with a live set he did in Paris about a year ago.
Comment on the posts and tell us your favorite DJ Premier song.
