Great breakdown! Primo is one of the all time greats. Scratches on who's gonna take the weight are incredible. The use of scratches on this album and Daily Operations is like the guitar solo on rock records: it should be a mandatory item in any hip-hop track. Preemo signature vocal scratches too.

[@valentingomezcuello6491]

21:11 Question: At the time of making that video, you couldn't find that song?

[@Deezeone]

Greedy lawyers judges killed it

[@txtrang2515]

This is why real hip hop music is so dope. Doing something creative w/ what they got. Some people say sampling is roberry, but it's introduced kids to music that been catching dust, basically forgotten. Sampling has revived careers of George Clinton, and and other other careers. Call sampling what you want, but I call it creating something from living in poverty.

[@DJFurio]

Ol Skool Trey very well put.

[@gangstadu94]

they just dont know. it's an art

[@cherrybepis]

i've discovered some gems through sampling. it's awesome.

[@h2junkey]

Nothing but the truth.....

[@Outta12]

Big props to thw original musicians who made the music sampled

[@oskamadison]

Premier has one of the most unorthodox ears for samples ever...

[@DJFurio]

oskamadison totally agree. He makes some amazing music from the smallest part of a track that most people wouldn't even think of sampling

[@nolem5417]

IKR?

[@stefanbogdanovic590]

Absolutely, Preemo creates masterpiece from nothing. My favorite producer of all time. RIP Guru one of the best yet!

[@erich6936]

I honestly had no idea Primo put this much work into that album. But then again I should have known better after all it's Gangstarr!!

[@DJFurio]

Eric H yep even back then Preemo was putting in some serious work digging for samples.

[@akaicruise]

That album?? You sound like your hating

[@ruqone]

Who's Gonna Take The Weight is so flawless.

[@DJFurio]

One of my favourite tracks. I did this video last year as part of the DJ Premier scratch challenge he was endorsing kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGLIhaujabOsj80

[@boridebrooklyn8300]

Primo is a goddam genius !!!!

[@soundwave7647]

"Step In The Arena" definitely paid a lot of respect to the 70's Music genre. 20 years later a updated format in the 90's. Showing the elders respect, while blessing the youth with knowledge. R.I.P. G.U.R.U... Preemo for President.# Gangstarr

[@DJFurio]

Such an amazing album with some great samples.

[@nabilsun8308]

Hip hop in his finest ...💥💥💥💥

[@nac3205]

This will always be my favorite gang starr album. Growing up i used to play GTA IV on the ps3 it had 2 hip hop stations The beat and The classics. The beat 102.7 had sets by legendary djs like green lantern, funk flex, mr c and statik selektah. The classics had 1 dj set playing over and over and over, every time id go over to the station the set would just be starting and you’d hear the legendary dj premier welcoming you to LFHQ followed by the pppppremier. Growing up i never realized how iconic he was or ever who he was until i was about 16. Rip to guru and shoutout to the whole gang starr foundation.

[@DJFurio]

Great album and a great game too

[@spontaneouz1000-sr6ls]

DJ Furio: Excellent work. Solid quality. It's a report card for me when I watch a video like this, to know that I have just about all of the wax that it took to create the Step In The Arena record in my back room. Keep this series of videos coming, much support. If I could ask a challenge of you? Make one of these videos for J.V.C. Force "Doin' Damage" LP from 1988 B-Boy Records.

[@DJFurio]

William Holloway glad you like these sample breakdown videos I’ve made. I will look into JVC Force album and see what samples I can dig up. I know a fair few off the top of my head but might take a while to create the video.

[@Mixoplic777]

DJ Premier is a creative genius and one of the pioneers of the sound of hip-hop, he has inspired me since the 'Step in the Arena" LP and undoubtedly is in the category of G.O.A.T in the field of producing and DJ-ing. My favorite producer of all time! I heard a dope beat, somebody told me that buck did it, but if Premo did n't do it I can't fuck with it.

[@divine1son]

Hip Hop excellence. This album and Tribe Low End Theory were the first tapes I had on auto reverse repeat continuously. Premier is a genius.

I sampled both of them in and I'm convinced it's not the same sample when listening closely. Either it's from another track or it's been replayed to sound similar to the original.

And my teacher the next day after emailed me on the assignment saying that he can’t grade it cuz it’s not my beat. And to be fair a couple days back before this happened I asked him if it was ok to sample and he said yes to me in my face in person. No email. What do I do?
