Last week, when we dropped our epic post DJ Premier Tells All: The Stories Behind His Classic Records, a few things got left on the cutting room floor. After all, Primo is one of the greatest producers ever and he’s just got so many damn classics there wasn’t enough time for us to properly discuss them all. However, Premier did tell us a few interesting tidbits about working with greats like Mobb Deep, Rakim, and others. So we figured we’d scrap them together and post some of the outtakes. It may not be the 38-slide odyssey our previous post was, but Primo did tell us about the time he got caught riding dirty, what he considers one of his best produced albums, and how Statik Selektah brought him back to doing mix shows.
As told to Jaeki Cho (@jaekicho).
