Premier is the GOAT when it comes to minimal hip hop. To think about the sound that comes from just a few samples and a drum track. The king of the floppy 📀
Easily one of the dopest tracks in hip-hop history. This shit should be on everybody's top 10/20 for sure. Royce is such a fukkin' beast. When this dude goes hard, he's almost untouchable.
Royce Da 5'9"was interviewed for the book series *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2* , and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about flow. "Jay-Z’s track] “Money, Cash, Hoes”-the song ain’t really about nothing, really he’s just rhyming. But the thing that catches your ear is that flow-it’s the way he rides the beat that makes me like the song."
Agree, dude is crazy towards his bars, he got it lock down. Have you heard Prhyme ? A full album collab of him and Premier? That alone speaks for itself.
Samples: Jerry Goldsmith - The Sand Pebbles Overture (LP Album Version) QB Finest - Da Bridge 2001 (Vocals)1:10 B.D.K. - Any Type of Way (Vocals)1:15 Common - The Light (Vocals) 2:07 Inspectah Deck - The Movement 3:05 The Wire - Drug Kingpin Avon Barksdale (Vocals) 3:10 @2:12 there’s a KRS-One vocal sample where he saying “no talent rappers” but I’m not sure wut song it came from but ik it’s him saying it
Yo, he said "90 percent of you rappers ain't hard, here just to get a rep, your not gangstarrs", STRAIGHT FiRe!🔥🔥🔥🔥, Who else caught the double meaning?
'I KNOW MY STREETS .. I KNOW MY SOUND .. YALL KNOW MY BEATS .. HOW I GET DOWN .. I TAKE MY STEPS .. IN LEAPS & BOUNDS' .. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. #REALHIPHOP #HIPHOPLEGENDSONLY
DJ Premier and DJ Abilities are hands down two of the best DJ's in the industry, period. It's crazy to think (almost kind I weird actually) that both of their original emcees (Eyedea from Eyedea and Abilities; Guru from Gangstarr for Premier) pass away from natural causes and way to early. I can't even imagine the amazing music those two groups could be/would be putting out right now if Eyedea and Guru were still alive and well today. I'm happy for Abilities and Premier though that they were able to continue their careers with incredible success and recognition! Well deserved for the two of them! RIP Eyedea RIP Guru.
This is the song that made me want to write rhymes, to produce, and engendered the love of the *art* of hip-hop in my soul. I might be a whiteboy from the burbs, but I feel this shit *SO* deeply, and I LIVE THIS SHIT! Like Twista said "art in life". Peace to all the supporters of the *TRUE* art we call Hip Hop. 1LOVE east west north south, abroad, it don't matter. Get it in, produce art, and change the way people *THINK*!
+Davon85J Thank you!! it's the hate that fuels me to work harder at my goals, and i really am thanking you, nor just being sarcastic. And it might be corny but idgaf, thats how I feel when I listen to this track, shit..
Man tbh I wished he never signed back to Shady, Royce was the best in the game in Em's absence. I had Death Is Certain in the ride for almost a year straight
The only Royce album i ever copped was Death Is Certain off this joint alone and it was worth it. This song alone is better then most rappers whole catalogues this is the reasons I love Hip Hop
![1990s underground hiphop mix [Sparrow, East Flatbush Project, Hi-Tech, Citizen Kane]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4WLBkUPRxSo/mqdefault.jpg)
One of the greatest hip hop tracks of all time. 🔥
No question
this is the most realest hip hop track of the 00's
Yes
+Moskalus how take you serious
+The Answer How you take grammer
Varial Hypo grammar*
The Answer gremmer
Unbelievable song. Makes me proud of REAL HIP HOP.
I remember being glued th the tv waiting on this to come on Rap City
I remember being 16 today glued to my phone looking this up on RUclips
Facts it was this song and pitch black it’s all real 03-04 good times
💯
2004... My mom heard me bumping this and she began playing it more than me ever since
DJ Premier has produced an awsome beat.
Royce is underrated as Fuck. Just give him a beat and he'll jump on it
It shouldn't be allowed to dislike this song on youtube!
😆💯
Premier is the GOAT when it comes to minimal hip hop. To think about the sound that comes from just a few samples and a drum track. The king of the floppy 📀
One of the coldest tracks ever created! Primo and Royce are a great collaboration!!
Prolly no pair better
"Egg in the skillet brain nigga, this is you" lmao haha Royce got the funkiest punchlines.
Easily one of the dopest tracks in hip-hop history. This shit should be on everybody's top 10/20 for sure. Royce is such a fukkin' beast. When this dude goes hard, he's almost untouchable.
Re-wrote Histoy with every verse cuz
All his older stuff with him and DJ premiere classic this and Boom was my joints.
In some shots Royce really looks like Guru.
its almost impossible to fuck up on a primo beat
word
eton900 lmao yo it's to good every song you play
Riff Raff would find a way
This dude laced it tho, ain't much better out there
Because the beat is tailor-made not a basic beat
This beat is disgusting, Premo just never disappoints.
Lol...yeah man....impossible to disappoint...perfect beats al the time....he's a legend!
Facts especially the cuts!
LoyalLFC and he will never gon disappoint nobody never hear a premo good beat cause all of them are the best beats ever made premo is the shit son
Never ever does he
Another beat from premo I've heard that is as nasty is Defeat by Afurah "sick".
Sick beat. Dj Premier is a Legendary Producer.
Most essentially
Royce Da 5'9"was interviewed for the book series *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2* , and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about flow.
"Jay-Z’s track] “Money, Cash, Hoes”-the song ain’t really

Man I swear Royce is the illest in the D.
Agree, dude is crazy towards his bars, he got it lock down. Have you heard Prhyme ? A full album collab of him and Premier? That alone speaks for itself.
I see, then your probably gonna be satisfied by it.
Dynamic Samurai Prhyme still on repeat since release! Didn't even hear any Christmas tunes at my crib.
Tim Robison i feel ya, haven't heard a LP like Prhyme in a long timee ! Its always refreshing start to finish. Always going to stay in my playlist.
+Kevin Staysshredded I luv proof and he was an MC and a poet but royce is da better MC. Royce,eminem and elzhi are the best to do it from detroit
Now that I'm older I understand and appreciate the hell out of this song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Premier's the shit.....
One of the best hip hop beats of all time. Great song too
Samples:
Jerry Goldsmith - The Sand Pebbles Overture (LP Album Version)
QB Finest - Da Bridge 2001 (Vocals)1:10
B.D.K. - Any Type of Way (Vocals)1:15
Common - The Light (Vocals) 2:07
Inspectah Deck - The Movement 3:05
The Wire - Drug Kingpin Avon Barksdale (Vocals) 3:10
@2:12 there’s a KRS-One vocal sample where he saying “no talent rappers” but I’m not sure wut song it came from but ik it’s him saying it
I think it sounds like Return of The Boom Bap or MCs Act Like They Dont Know..
and good looking out man with them samples..
Stop Sample Snitching.
Congratulations bro, great informations
Facts@@SDSOverfiend
I love everything prem does. His beats are the most classic thing out there.
Classic premier beat 🔥
Loved whenever they played this on 106 back in ‘04. Even heard it on the radio on 98.7 The Beat in Charleston, WV.
Yo, he said "90 percent of you rappers ain't hard, here just to get a rep, your not gangstarrs", STRAIGHT FiRe!🔥🔥🔥🔥, Who else caught the double meaning?
I did lol
Also the Kung fu like afura
Every Ganstarr fan
This is a hieroglyphic lecture
i still love these Premier Beats
This fucking beat is crazy. Dj premeir bestof all time.
I take my steps in leaps and bounds
'I KNOW MY STREETS .. I KNOW MY SOUND .. YALL KNOW MY BEATS .. HOW I GET DOWN .. I TAKE MY STEPS .. IN LEAPS & BOUNDS' .. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. #REALHIPHOP #HIPHOPLEGENDSONLY
2004 video looks like 1998 sounds like 1993

You're all wrong this is 2000's in so many ways
DJ Premier Iz Real Legend

They just took this off spotify and its killing me
Pain.
Full album gone. Disgraceful.
I downloaded the mp3 off youtube and added it on spotify through local files. If you download your playlists, you can get it on your phone aswell!
Yeah, sucks. All the licensing bs is really tiring… it’s still off on Spotify
@@pathfinder375 really that's awesome I need to try it
Feelings of Nostalgia
My favorite Royce song 💯
Nasty.....still bumpin in 2018 to the future
Forever a banger 🔥🔥🔥💯.. Classic
This is the song that made me become a hip hop song. This song changed my life.

Diego Padilla 2018 still banging Time Traveling and shit
Still bumping royce and big proof
WOW DJ PREMIER MY BEST BEATMAKER IN THE WORLD
GREETINGS FROM ITALY
He never makes the real heads disappointed
That last verse goes so hard
I rememeber this in 2004 thanks dj premier
And Premo turns 50. What a time to be alive.
Still one of my all time favorite Royce tracks. Remember bumping this shit in highschool.
Primo can you stop murdering so many beats?
Yeah how come he's not on death row for beat genocide?
i remember this hit but had to revisit after today's LUPE and ROYCE and TOM podcast
Love how Preemo didn’t conform to the way they make beats nowadays
Agree bro
Facts
It’s because he’s been in the game since the very beginning
Word, respect to premo✊✊👍.
20 years later & still Banging!!
👍🏿

+Davon85J Thank you!! it's the hate that fuels me to work harder at my goals, and i really am thanking you, nor just being sarcastic. And it might be corny but idgaf, thats how I feel when I listen to this track, shit..
Even cornier.... LMAO
This is my first time listening to it. Best moment of the day.
I will diss you from long distances .. shit is incredible
Nothing like Royce. The album is a classic.
First hip hop track I ever heard....makes me feel a type of way after not hearing it for so long
where the fuck have u been???
Thats crazy!!! To me.... But man glad if thats true, that you were put on to this early.
I hope you were like 5 years old then.
Hiphop is alive! it lost some weight but times are gettin' better with tracks like this
Can't believe it's been 9 years since this joint first dropped! #VintageRoyce
whole album is classic and extremely underrated!! maybe his best top to bottom..
Most tallentest rapper are the most underrated ones, i dont know why.
Has Türk industry
Samurai Champloo soundtracks sent me this was somehow. Amazing
Best anime ever
i get chilllz everytime I listen to this song for real XD
and im pretty sure this should be under another category "EDUCATION" for these younginz ahah
Generule Maximus me to
Wow! I miss this kinda shit
2020 South Africa BUMPIN'!
Royce dropping bars, Premo blessing our ears
Fantastic track! 👌🏼
royce’s flow has always been so crazy…and what’s even crazier is his rhyme scheme just keeps advancing and getting more complex as he gets older
Underrated man. This is pure art. Royce is the only one that has outshined Eminem on a track and the flow he spits daamn.
Detroit's Finest 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️
this flow is unreal, big respect
2023 still bangs!
This the first song I heard of his my introduction to Royce
From France: this sound is very maaaaaad! Primo for life
Man tbh I wished he never signed back to Shady, Royce was the best in the game in Em's absence. I had Death Is Certain in the ride for almost a year straight
flashback for real... lovin tha old good gold sounds man. big respect homy Royce !
Timeless 🔥🔥🔥🔥Premier&5""9
Royce is mad raw man.....dis cat has been slept on. One of tha best lyricists out there.
90% of kids today who hear this are like "who's Afu-Ra?"
99.9%
Dino_ Jusufovic_221 so ur not a kid then r u?
lol
born in 94 and listen to him do i get a complimentary bj
True that, Defeat by Afu Rah is sick.
DJ Premier is the 5th sense of hip hop
Fuck the beat, listen to the awesome lyrics!
That's Primo on the beat. You can't say that
MADARA200 You have a point.
settle down there
2020 and I am still here. Nothing like Royce and Prem.
Primo on the beat right ??? Man that NYC sound😍
Detroit too bro!!
Ain't Primo from Texas?
@@yadadameen he is, but he learned pretty much all he knows about producing in New York
The most underrated rapper of all time 🔥
I remember coming home from high school and putting Rap City and this song would be on. Golden
Eduardo Rodriguez this record wasn’t on Rap City lol this is of Death is Certain

The only Royce album i ever copped was Death Is Certain off this joint alone and it was worth it. This song alone is better then most rappers whole catalogues this is the reasons I love Hip Hop
Death is certain is my favourite album front to back. Own the vinyl. A classic
Royce don't age. Real Hip-hop pioneer.
