Video: DJ Premier Talks Origins of HeadQuarterz & The Limp Bizkit Collab

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Part 3 of 3 from the homie John Public’s conversation with Premier.

In the final part of our conversation, Premo dropped some science about the origin of his HeadQuarterz studio with Charles The Mixologist, plans for the studio and how his collaboration with Method Man and Limp Bizkit happened. To say he was leery of working with Fred Durst may have been an understatement, but Durst’s legendary stubborness paid off. Props to Kevin Nottingham for hosting this series!

Of course it was rude because it was her moment, but that’s how he really felt… I said that to him as well. The way they’re treating it, it’s not like he killed anybody… I think he has to watch his passion. At the end of the day, we’re going to celebrate him for his passion, more than vilifying him. The same thing that causes him to make Graduation and all these great records, is the thing that causes him to step out of line sometimes… Let’s move on, I don’t think he should lay low. I think he should go on tour and have a brilliant career. It’s an award show… He’s been that passionate since the first record. The first Blueprint he was jumping on the tables rapping, I’m like ‘this is not the time for that.’ That was just him. If he had changed because of his success, then that would be one thing. But he’s always been that passionate.

This originally appeared on a leaked version of Royce’s Revival LP, so it’s more rare then unreleased, but definitely still worth a listen if you’ve never heard it.
