Premier

Profil

DJ Premier is an undisputed heavyweight champion of hip-hop, a native Texan whose love of hip-hop brought him to New York where he wound becoming a vital part of the music’s golden years. As one half of Gang Starr alongside the late MC Guru, and as a producer for established and upcoming talent like KRS ONE or a young Nas from Queens, Premier was responsible for shaping a hard-edged hip-hop sound in the ’90s, sample-heavy and full of incredibly memorable scratched elements. In this lecture at the 2007 Red Bull Music Academy, Premier talks about Guru, Nas, Jay-Z, digging for samples, working with Christina Aguilera and eating KFC with a naked Notorious B.I.G.
