Premier's stories about him and Guru are the most wholesome ones I've ever heard in hip hop.

There was a time when I was hustling in midtown Manhattan guru was parked on 41st and 8th Avenue just chilling in his car nobody had a clue that rap royalty was in their presence. So I stepped up to the passenger side and said what up Guru he greeted me and began a conversation about the the streets in midtown all the hustle and bustle going on around us and through out all of that conversation we had he said to me You have choices & options that far outweigh the street grime I was doing. I must say it was the best advice I ever gotten from a person who didn't know me from a can of corn. This was 1991 and it was that year my life of crime stopped Thanks Guru s.i.p

How did we lose our way? New York rap PLEASE return to your ROOTS!!! I've been influenced by this man since I was a child and he has not budged one inch from the authenticity he and Guru established 30 years ago. I can't even touch a sampler, keyboard, beat machine, without thinking "what would Preem do"? I was raised on the Chain and the Starr...

The best albums between 1994-1998 were definitely "Hard To Earn", "Muse Sick-N-Hour Message", and "Moment Of Truth". Reality rules, and it's a part of the aware urban culture, for us history lovers and realists. Music for the mind while keeping it real and the underground sound that keeps feeding us meals of great pleasure and regret for what the industry has become. We all need to get-get-get on it and dethrone these clones and all these knuckleheads. Reality never fucking stops --- not for the industry, not for the government, not for any damn rapper or "DJ" who just puts a generic beat in and have the "MC" spit "fire" (in reality, it's all lies, and any person with a mind can spot it with a little bit of text-challenging). I'm growing up on a combination of Keith Elam's monotone voice (live forever, even 9 years after the long day in hell), Christopher E. Martin's incredible creativity on the tracks, Carlton D. Ridenhour's booming voice inspiring and spitting history-inspired lines, William J. Drayton's high-pitched voice breaking up the preacher's seriousness with a dash of comedic relief, Norman Rodgers', Lord Aswod's, Gary Rinaldo's, the Shocklees', and Johnny "Juice"'s legendary sampling and violent, blood-spilled tracks.
