What Period Was DJ Premier Smoking Crack

[Dizzle]

A "primo" is a marijuana joint laced with crack.

The info was right under our noses all this time lol

Not even gonna ask you how

 

[FunkDoc1112]

That was deliberate though. He started incorporating different sounds and samples into shyt in 1994 (Hard To Earn) to evolve beyond jazz samples. Listen to the Jeru albums...lots of cool, weird sounds.

I actually prefer that era of Premo before we got into the standard "Premo beat" era of his shyt sounding more distinct.

Yeah I'd say 1996 is when he settles into the signature style, starting with the second Jeru album

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."

You couldn't beat me naked to get this info outta me

Preme was doing that way before any of us even heard of a Gang Starr.

That was some mid to late 80's sh*t. He's spoken about it mad times.

 

[Mowgli]

I hated that mop song as a kid. I remember I had a mix tape I created by stopping and starting the pause button on a 2 cassette tape radio I owned. I remember thus song came on college radio and I hit pause mid recording the show because I wasn't feeling the beat.

 

[DontEemTry]

This is disco era ol school way of thought mentality.

Before they gave us shawties in my generation the slide rule. For the say no to drugs campaign. No one from the disco era knew the danger they were in. Using peruvian to freebase to then crack.
Which is why the Crack epidemic is the plague that it is to america moving forward.

So you admit you smoked crack?

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Primo smoking crack was one of the most surprising hip-hop revelations to me. Not just cause it’s Primo but cause crack isn’t really a creative musician’s drug.

Wait. This nikka really smoked crack?

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

The way ny production fell off the late90s

They might need to smoke crack again to
“Restore that feeling

 

[Doctor Wily]

I hate that my brain readjusted to this twitchy boom bap beat after the first verse

 

[Redwood]

Wait. This nikka really smoked crack?

I'm wondering too

 

[Art Barr]

So you admit you smoked crack?

I never used or done hard or harsh drugs ever.
Never smoked crack.
Never sniffed.
Never shot up.


I am not from the disco era goofie.

I am not Country.
I do not lack urban intellectualism.
To be lured or influenced into doing things.
that are strictly and completely taboo.
especially in my generation.


To any of you goofies out there.

You offbrand goofies have complete disconnect and do not know your eras of nikkas right.
That you would think a nikka from my era is a user of any type.

you would be food.
where i am from, with that mentality.
