“DJ Premier had a release party for his Beats That Collected Dust Vol. 1 album at this stank ass bar that threw me out because I was grabbing too much booty. I thought I had blown my chance to talk to the legendary DJ Premier but Thankfully, a heaven-sent PR lady arranged for me to talk to Premo outside. He rolled up in a truck and walked toward the bar like he was just a normal guy and not the greatest (greatest? yeah, greatest) producer of all time. He agreed to the interview, but had to take a piss first. And that’s how I met DJ Premier.
ML: What do you use today?
Premo: Same equipment.
ML: MPC?
Premo: MPC60, the old beat up clunker. It’s not broke, keep rockin’ that.
ML: My friend’s a digger. He has a shitload of records. [Ed. Note: my friend had accompanied me]
Premo: Shitload meaning how many?
Friend: I just started, I got like four hundred.
Premo: Aight, that’s cool. Nah, ’cause some people be like they DJs and they only own like fifteen records due to the whole digital age. So I make sure that the original way is respected.
ML: That’s why you still use the MPC?
Premo: Yeah.
ML: You hear what Nas was saying about what he wants to do with his new album?
Premo: Oh, the one about Dre doing one and I do one and they drop ‘em on the same day?
ML: So is that gonna happen?
Premo: Shit, I haven’t heard from Nas yet, didn’t get a call. Nas, where you at?
