DJ Premier

Well, this thread is basically a tribute to one of the best hiphop beat makers you'll probably ever see. His music is widely known and probably gets little to no recognition for it from most people who listen to it (because face it, most are bandwagon listeners) unless obviously stated in the song. So here is a list of the beats he's made, some songs you may know if you listen to rap on a regular occasion..

This is also a thread to show people what hiphop actually is from my stand point and hopefully gain to fans to the genre.
