dawg, ever since I found out you live in Ann Arbor Michigan your behavior makes sense. Real talk
I would of loved to see him incorporate scratches from some more modern rappers, just to mix it up a but. It was doep hearing Ab Soul scratched up.

He's said before that he just has shyt in his head that he'll use, or occassionally the artist themselves will suggest a specific line or hook.
He's a DJ. I don't think his process is that complicated.
The shyt I find more intricate are the phrases or random expressions he'll use. "C'mon!", "yeah", etc. Takes a good ear for a producer to use the timing, volume, tone, etc of various samples to mesh with the beat.
Like, Pete Rock on Sneakers when he just randomly scratched Gza saying "Yo!", that had absolutely nothing to do with anything. Wasn't even part of the hook, he just scratched it in after the second chorus ended.
lol you just asked a forum with the avg age of 35. how did preme know lines from 2 of the biggest hiphop acts ever top 5 songs in their catalogs
There was a time when it was an honor to have your lines scratched on a record, especially Preme. I remember Prodigy making a big deal that he was the most sampled voice in hiphop history. I miss scratching in general and wish this album had a little more.
Im not even reading this. just I get you now. its Ann Arbor. makes senselol you just asked a forum with the avg age of 35. how did preme know lines from 2 of the biggest hiphop acts ever top 5 songs in their catalogs

The "Yes indeedie, I wrote graffiti" from Passing Me By was perfect on Writers.

I highly doubt you're 15 years younger than me. That would mean you weren't even born when IWW dropped, lol.
But the point is, this record is aimed at a certain era and listener. So if you're saying "it's not good", you're speaking to the quality of the music. But for those of us who it speaks to, it's perfect and we love it. So that's when it's kinda time to just accept that this kinda music just isn't being made for you. It's for us. That doesn't mean the music "isn't good". It means you just don’t like it. And that's okay.
Nobody cares about Hit Boy. This is about an album made by two GOAT's. Premier has been killing sh*t since '88-'89. We are not going to start throwing random beat makers in talks with the best producer of all-time. Nah. Premier has made a lot of dope sh*t over the past 2-3 years. The kinda sh*t that people wanted Nas to rap over. But that's not what Nas wanted for this album. What he wanted for it, is what he sat and made with Preem. Premier makes beats on the spot at the direction of the MC and for what they want to say. He's not going to dig in a stash of 30 year old beats and tell Nas "This is probably what the people online want to hear you on. Try these". LOL!!
