My favorite Hip Hop producer ever, DJ Premier.
On the debut album of Gang Starr (No More Mr. Nice Guy), there was a track named 'DJ Premier In Deep Concentration'. It was fully instrumental, with Premier scratching in all kinds of crazy samples. It was awesome. He put together the words 'DJ', 'Première', 'Is In' and 'Deep Concentration', all from different songs.
And Like I said before, he is one of the most talented and influential people, not only in DJ'ing, but in the Hip Hop culture on a whole.
This is my tribute to Premier. It focusses on the classic DJ equipment (the headphones, the turntable and the crossfader), but also on the DJ, Premier, in deep concentration.

You can truly see his work ethic, on the turntables feeling it's vibrations; the fader with the right amount of precision and his eyes in that sort of psychic mode, almost as if he were one with the hip-hop world. It's not one of a master but of a person who is truly invested in hip-hop and is willing to do anything to contribute to and even possibly advance the game; I mean just look at how much he gave us, he gave us Gang Starr, he gave us "NY State of Mind", he even gave us "Kick in the Door" and for that, I admire him. It's a shame Guru is gone from this world but at least he's holding it down and carrying on his legacy.
much love for this piece once again, and i'll be looking out for more.
great piece man; keep it up.
