Preme must of been on that shyt when he made Mass Appeal because that shyt is straight crack
Are you saying they’re wack?
No the beat is just weird and twitchy

Premo has a lot of those weird kind of stuttery beats, actually. Unbelievable is another example.
He said he doesn't quantize any of his shyt on the MPC. So if he fukks up or his timing is slightly off, it's still in there.

a lot of those north east dudes from the late 80s to early 90s smoked woolies. it seems like it stopped by the mid 90s. i doubt preme went any further than that
"DJ Premier: Um, I don’t think it really ever affected the music, because we would always get that in-sync with one another when we made joints. I even smoked crack and would do coke and everything else and it never changed me. We all did. We were all smokin’ woolas; we’re from the woola era. Like ’85-’86, not everybody but a lot of people in the industry were doing it. Even when I ask other artists, [they admit it]. I wasn’t a pipe smoker, I didn’t smoke the stem; we’d put it in a blunt. But it’s still crack. [Laughs] But it never affected my creativity either way. I’ve never been ashamed of anything I’ve ever done because it is what it is. You never saw me walkin’ around with my teeth missing, selling my equipment, or all skinny and falling apart. We looked normal, and we weren’t on it like that. It was more recreation—a new way of spiking your weed. I’m off of it, I been off it. You get to a point where you’re like, “This ride is over.” None of us had to worry about going to rehab or anything like that. It was never that serious. In the music business, drugs, sex, R0ck & Roll, it all goes with the same territory."
