DJ Premier : (4)

" The radio stations strayed away from the raw hip-hop that they were playing in the early 1990s. We were like, ‘All this watered down stuff is dominating the airwaves. We should make a record to make fun of that’ and Guru’s like, ‘Let’s call it ‘Mass Appeal.” " - DJ Premier

" Guru always titled the Gang Starr albums. But once it came to ‘Hard to Earn,’ he wanted me to title it. " - DJ Premier

" I’m super cool with Kanye. " - DJ Premier

" My mom’s an art teacher, so I always had music in the house. She always had records, and I was mesmerized by the mechanics of how a turntable works. " - DJ Premier
