DJ Premier: 'I Gave 50 Cent A Bangin’ Beat But He Turned It Down'

DJ Premier: “I Gave 50 Cent A Bangin’ Beat But He Turned It Down”

Last night at New York City’s 92 Street Y, Hot 97 radio personality Peter Rosenberg sat down with legendary producer DJ Premier for what was said to be the first installment of his Noisemakers series of one-on-one interviews with some of the biggest names in hip-hop. During the discussion Primo spoke about many of his infamous collaborations, and those that were never able to materialize.

When asked what rappers he’d like to have worked with that haven’t yet manifested, Premier said “Definitely Busta,” before adding, “50 too. I gave 50 a bangin’ beat, [but] he turned it down. It was dope, though.”

The rap vet didn’t dwell on that as he explained what it was like to work with The Nototious B.I.G. “Biggie called me in a frantic panic on the phone and was like, Yo, I got one more song I need for my album and I’m done; I gotta get a song from you.” That conversation soon turned into “Unbelievable,” off of Big’s debut, Ready to Die, which Primo “thought was a little too nice for the way his voice sounded,” but Big Poppa “just walked in the booth and laid it—no paper, no nothin’.”

When the possibility of a full-length album was brought up, he acknowledged that the wheels are in motion, but it may be difficult to get everyone he wants on the release. “I talked about starting it a couple weeks ago, because a lot of artists [want to help]—like Kanye, [after] I scratched on his album, he was like, ‘Yo, I’ll give you one for free whenever you need me.’ And I know that the bigger people get, it’s harder to get ‘em. Even Jay-Z is hard to get now, and we were around each other for years, but it’s hard to even get at him. I’m just trying to swap with everybody.”

The perfectionist that he is, Primo knows the situation needs to be right. “It’s gotta be like my Chronic,” he continued. “Just like the way Dre came out with Chronic and just shitted on everybody, mine’s gotta be the same way.”

Whether or not a DJ Premier album is in the immediate future, more music is certainly on the way. “I’m back to almost a beat every two days,” he assured. “The money’s always secondary. That’s the reason why I think I still get work. Even in desperate times, I still gotta make the record bang.”

BornIntoThis · 12-12-2008, 05:48 PM

50 on a primo beat would be dope....too bad he turned it down it would add to the already dope production list for BISD aswell....

The Real K.I.N.G. · 12-12-2008, 05:49 PM

Thats prolly came along with all them beats 50 claims he has burned on a disc without the producers name or something. But 50 lost his ear for good beats after The Massacre dropped

Thats not the case

Sha Money hasn't been there since the Massacre. He was the executive producer and has the greatest ear for beats

Now he's back

chickenwings · 12-12-2008, 06:35 PM

maybe the beat wasnt all that bangin homey

GodToYouKids22 · 12-12-2008, 06:37 PM

^^^^Premo Beats ARE ALWAYS GOOD

the get rich soundtrack had bangers....so did the curtis album

man down
curtis 187
touch the sky

jus to name a few....what about the TOS joint???, that had some shit too

Joey111 · 12-12-2008, 07:01 PM

Nah, Curits had average production except for 4,5 tracks and T.O.S. had horrible production, like for some mixtape shit. 50 is a fool for turning down a Premo beat though.

HENCHMAN · 12-12-2008, 07:03 PM

oh well . . "a snitch has gotta do what a snitch has gotta do"

how do you have time to do 100000000000 accounts longbeachfinest?

BornIntoThis · 12-12-2008, 07:09 PM

TOS had only 3 beats that sucked and Curtis had 5...both was underrated albums imo

younggun11 · 12-12-2008, 07:16 PM

Curtis had the most wackest beats ever picked by 50, GRODT soundtack had some banging ass beats, Whoop ya Head with Homie Buck, Hustlers Ambition is like one of the best 50 cents works to date, bunch others, TOS was not wack or Dope, it was one of those albums that u listen to and not even remembed what the shit was about, shit was Empty as fuck, its worse than Bad, that shit was nothing, like, maybe an avarage mixtape.

I get Money was sick as fuck, Still kill was a rejeceted beat by Dre to Bitchop lamont, i dunno why da fuck Fifith took that shit, shit was offbeat, Akon hook was wack as fuck,

I really dhope 50 get somebody good to guide him, i think wit all the business, he aint really focused on making Dope shits, Dre fell off, his latest shit was washed up as fuck, lke Bucks records, Jay Z, Nas Hustlers, and Grow up shit, repetative simple shit.

50 needs to holla At Cool N Dre and Jr Rottem, like Game, and kill the shit,

but we all know whats gonna happen, 50 will holla And Jim Jonsin and Make Whatever you like pt2, coz if you dont Sing Like Kelly Clarkson and Have #1 Hit, YOu do avarage Numbers.

Still, 50 is my dude, cant wait for the album and T.I can Sing Whatever you like, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah in Jail. If He goes there, coz i doubt that Rat ass Nigga will go to Jail at all, he a cop now.

BornIntoThis · 12-12-2008, 07:18 PM

50 got JR to produce some tracks for BISD awhile back...
