aight this is from 2007 but I found it mad interesting, one of the better pieces I've ever read on DJ Premier and especially if you're interested in music production in general. didn't know that Preemo was a big fan of AC/DC and wish to work with them huh, lol...

Sound on Sound article: DJ PREMIER (July 07)

word. good find.

"The hip-hop world can be rather unfriendly towards those who display conspicuous musicianship. It also tends to be selective in the kinds of artists and music that it regards as cool. DJ Premier's pride in his musical antecedents and skills, as well as in his boundless musical taste, are therefore particularly noteworthy. "I became a big fan of buying vinyl records and tapes," he says. "Thomas Dolby, Genesis with Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Talking Heads, Talk Talk, the New Wave scene, punk, James Brown, Chuck Berry, the Jackson Five, BB King, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Ozzy Osbourne, Thomas Dolby, Parliament/Funkadelic — you name it, I had their records or had been to see them in concert." "

Explains why Premo's DJ sets are so eclectic and varied.

DJ Premier listens to some wack music. I wouldn't even listen to some of those artists he named that he listens to. He has a funny skit on Gang Starr's The Ownerz album. Here's what he said. I laugh everytime i hear this skit.

Hey yo. What the fuck is this shit ya'll are listening to on the radio man? You call that shit hip hop? That's some faggot bitch shit ya'll are listening to hahahahahahahahahahahaha. All you dj's are letting the program directors handcuff you and sit there and tell you how to mix. You fucking robots LOL. Fuck ya'll LOL.
