“11 straight summers”

Hov kicked off the volume two leg of the BP3 tour last night at the Sunshine State’s Bank Atlantic Center. (Renamed the Jay-Z Center for this special occasion.) Good quality and noteworthy footage is comin’ through like a slow faucet, but Hov did touch up the setlist a bit. It’s interesting that Jeezy’s set is sandwiched between two of Jay’s. Don’t be late to the show. Ha!

DJ Premier On The Making Of “Just To Get A Rep”

Sunday, February 21 2010 9:37 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

During All-Star last weekend, Examiner caught up with DJ Premier. With this year marking the 20th year anniversary of “Just To Get A Rep”, the producer discusses how the song came into fruition.

Go back and talk about “Just To Get A Rep” and how you made that beat.
DJ Premier: We made that record based on that fact that Guru and I had just got our record deal for Step In The Arena on EMI and Chrysalis Records. We both bought brand new whips, he had a 4Runner and I had a brand new MPV. He was actually robbed for his car and he wrote a song about it. The crazy thing is, the guy who robbed him for his car, we found the guy. We chased him and he ran into an ice cream truck crashed and died. God bless his soul. He crashed into an ice cream truck and died, what can you do? Guru wrote the lyrics based on that incident. That’s a very, very sacred and deep record. I remember the day that we went to the precinct to see the car and it was smashed up like an accordion. There was no way he would have survived that crash. It’s unfortunate that the guy got lost but at the same time it’s unfortunate that he took it upon himself to take Guru’s car. At the end of the day we prevailed. God bless his soul and God bless his family. We don’t wish death on anybody.
