What was DJ Premier's best produced album?

[mbz]

Albums fully produced by him:

Gang Starr - No More Mr. Nice Guy (1989)
Gang Starr - Step in the Arena (1991)
Gang Starr - Daily Operation (1992)
Gang Starr - Hard to Earn (1994)
Jeru the Damaja - The Sun Rises in the East (1994)
Group Home - Livin' Proof (1995)
Jeru the Damaja - Wrath of the Math (1996)
Gang Starr - Moment of Truth (1998)
Gang Starr - The Ownerz (2003)
Blaq Poet - Tha Blaqprint (2009)
DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles - KoleXXXion (2012)
PRhyme (Royce da 5'9" & DJ Premier) - PRhyme (2014)


For me it's Daily Operation closely followed by Wrath of the Math

it's not like there can ever be a consensus but most hip-hop heads will say it's Livin' Proof and i certainly won't disagree

 

[Wepa Man]

Group Home - Livin' Proof

 

[ZEB WALTON]

Moment of truth. His masterpiece imo.

Livin proof is a HORRIBLY PRODUCED album btw. It had incredible beats yea but production is more than great beats. All dude had to do was find an AVERAGE mc for those beats and it woulda been way better.

Its like if rza produced an album for 9th prince and islord.

At some point you gotta blame the producer for putting on TRASH

I'll always have a soft spot for Hard To Earn because he hit his prime on that album imo

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

should be Livin Proof. I'd be shocked if that isn't the most picked.

 

[FreshAIG]

Moment of Truth

Used to say Hard to Earn, but it's probably Moment of Truth

Living Proof is really high up there too. The production on that album is what made Christina Aguilera work with him

 

[Solomon Lurke]

Probably not the popular opinion, but Wrath of the Math is my favorite. Still listen to it a few times a month to this day.

Saying Livin Proof is old at this point. I think most people say that because of the joke and subsequent groupthink factor, not the actual music. I fukk with Livin Proof but you can't tell me that Moment of Truth doesn't have more and better bangers.

I'm not putting this on Premo. Producing in the context of hip-hop just isn't the same as other genres. The roles aren't the same, despite sharing a job title.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Moment of Truth sounds timeless

You can't really put a date on it like you can with most albums in general

 

[DMZ]

gotta be Moment of Truth, which is also the best album outta that bunch overall

Y u mad. Lol.

Good beqts or not theyre terrible songs. That counts.

Great producers dont let mediocre mcs ruin songs like premo did on that album.

Premier bears responsibility for that album just like rza bears them for wu albums. Dude put together the group. He controlled its creation its on him.

Premo waa the one in control of the project. He let those shytty verses stay. Its on him.

You and a lot on this forum might not look at hip hop production the same as the rest but every other genre does so my point standa no matter which premo stans get mad. Yall can bend the rules if ya want.
