News DJ Premier & Pete Rock Unite On New Project

July 01, 2010 10:42:00 AM CDT

by Andres Vasquez

Over the years, DJ Premier and Pete Rock have become two of the most critically acclaimed producers within the scope of Hip Hop. In fact, many would say they are two of the most influential icons of production in the genre after crafting work for years with various artists including Nas, CL Smooth and Guru, among others. Now, it seems the two will join forces to create an album together.

The news comes from Pete Rock's Twitter account, with no finalized date set.

"also premeire and PR are making an album together,u heard right!!! Pete Rock Vs. Premeire! Hip Hop @ its best!! OOOHHH BOY!! I'm goin in!!"

DX will have more on this as it develops.

I heard about this a few months ago on a video interview with the two of em. Should be dope should it ever come to fruition. And depending on who the emcees are. That's an important factor in this equation.

We'll see what this project brings us...

Peace

Word. That's what I'm saying! Hope it ain't the case. But PR and Premo promote some whack artists and I wouldn't be surprised if these whack artists had a strong presence on the record. That is, if it even drops.

Also, this shit would've been a hell of a lot more exciting in '95.

Will this be before the Nas/Primo album or after Primo's album on Terror Squad Records?

who are these wack mcs Pete Rock works with? imo Pete has a habit of working with great rappers in general. Premo is another story but looking at all Soul survivors and the stuff on Petestrumentals with the UN i can't complain

Bong. SS was dope. But that was 12 years ago. The second one was meh.

But NY's Finest was weak. That also happens to be his latest solo effort, so....

I mean, look at the line up on NY's Finest and compare it to either SS. Then actually listen to it and realize that it's even worse than it looks!

SS2 was great, i knida liked NYs finest. i dont even know if this album (wich probably wont happen anyways) would be dope but the comments about Pete Rock workin woth alotta wack rappers threw me off. i cant think of many

I actually like his rapping.

But I agree with whoever said I'll believe when when I see it.

I think I just got a boner...

I agree with the posts above, though. It would have been better as an instrumental album from 1995. It will probably feature an eclectic and weak guest lineup like Jim Jones, Trey Songs, Talib Kweli, Justin Beaver, Q Tip, CL Smooth, Kanye West, some female singers, and Ludacris or something like that if it ever does drop.

LONDON! · Post by **LONDON!** » Sat Jul 03, 2010 3:30 am

if premo & pete work wit artists they have worked wit before, its probably gonna be artists like

mop
freddie fox
nygz
big shug
un
rock marciano
jim jones
cl smooth
inspectah deck
raekwon

maybe some west coast representation and a few r n b songs if even that

if thats the vibe then i wouldn't mind and wouldn't have a problem, shit would get copped

but i would like them to branch out to other artists that have complemented there beats before too like or would drop on there shit

nas
az
kurupt
common
any other wutang member or the group
crooked i
eminem
bun b
young jeezy
immortal technique
cormega
krs 1
g rap

The information age breeds the attention age... and.. uh

Really, I hope this comes out..

If not, people need to not twit/blog about a new album the night of conception 4 blunts deep.

Mindbender Futurama · Sun Jul 04, 2010 10:44 am

rap is full of pessimists.

Dr. Dre doesn't NEED to put out Detox.

Raekwon NEEDED to put out Cuban Linx 2, whether it took him over a decade or not.

Pete Rock and Premier kinda need to do this. Sure, they don't money-wise, but they need to do something like this more than some other people and some other promises.

have hope

Mindbender the idealist vs Philaflava the realist(s)

Not just rap. Let's not box in such a ubiquitous group thought.

Less talk, more action is what is needed in rap.
Everybody got their own "hype machine".

PopeyeJones · Post by **PopeyeJones** » Sun Jul 04, 2010 8:31 pm

I don't get it. Are they actually working together or they're each just contributing five songs and putting them all on one album for promotional purposes?

If the latter:

A new Pete Rock EP: I don't really care

A new Primo EP: I don't really care

A new Pete Rock EP and a new Primo EP conveniently put together in the same upload so I don't have to download each separately: I don't really care.

I heard that DJ Premier album was made but it is in the vaults and it wasn't a Hip Hop album, in fact it had Preem producing a track for Aretha Franklin and the guy I heard it from knows Preem in person, so I think it's true.

PR never finished a bunch of his promised projects either. I remember hearing he was gonna produce a full cd for both Dogg Pound and Smiff-n-Wessun, both times from the man himself in interviews.

Kurupt full length over Pete Rock could have been incredible. and i wouldnt be mad at the other combo either
