    TO ALL THE PEOPLE COMMENTING ON DJ PREMIER'S 'INTERRUPTIONS': he is merely saying nas' punchlines so nas has time to take breaths in between his verse. reciting lyrics in a recording booth is much easier than yelling them at a concert. the purpose of a hypeman is not just to get the crowd going, they're are also there to help out the mc when he needs a break. and its not like premo is doing it against nas' will, if u notice nas raises his tone at the end when he wants premo to help him out.

    yeah it's cool man. i just got a bit aggravated at some fools comments . i will agree though that black crowds in brooklyn or queens would have a lot more life because it's apart of life over there and people get more into. many people don't understand real rap where i live but it doesn't mean that people from all different ethnic backgrounds can't appreciate that is the art form (rap). thanks for the comment.

Imagine a hip hop head checkin out a skrillex set and people hatin on them, its not fair.

    But as far as the music is concerned,it is beyond color so if the crowd is all white its all good cause at the end of the day we all human beings and sharing the same planet.
