Dj Premier is, hands down, one of my favourite musicians. He's not a just a DJ, he's also a producer. Not just any producer, he's one of the BEST producers. His music is so distinct, that when you hear a primo beat, you KNOW it immediately.
His production style remains the same with throwback methods from when hip-hop first started. Sampling from old blues records, with stripped down, heaving hitting beats. Another signature of Premier's is the scratching voice samples for the hook.
Premier has worked with some (probably most) of the greatest names in hip-hop, as well as being 1/2 of the legendary Gangstarr. The video below is snippet from the DJ documentary SCRATCH with Premier dropping some education.
