PETE ROCK VS. DJ PREMIER / 04.18.08 / CRASH MANSION L.A.


Pete Rock and DJ Premier are legends in the hip-hop world. Both DJ/producers significantly shaped the sound of underground hip-hop's golden era. Pete Rock made his mark with C.L. Smooth in the early 90s (Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth) while DJ Premier, aka Primo, created the sound that defined the Gang Starr Foundation (Gang Starr, Group Home, & Jeru Tha Damaja, etc).


Honestly, I can't image this as a conventional battle. I'm thinking it will be a back and forth of their hits over the years--were talking pure heat! Of course, My money is on Primo simply for the album "Hard to Earn," which was released in 1994 and exemplifies the the beautiful peak hip-hop reached before complete commercial exploitation. Actually, my money is on Primo because of one track--Jeru Tha Damaja's "Come Clean."

When: Friday / April 18th, 2008
Where: Crash Mansion L.A.
