13214867, Larry Smith "Hip-Hop's First Super Producer"
Posted by mista k5, Wed Nov-22-17 12:16 PM
Had to show some respect to this man.

DJ Premier considers him as his #1 Producer.

Made The Breaks by Kurtis Blow, Sucker MCs and Rock Box for Run-DMC, Five Minutes of Funk, Friends and Freaks Come out at Night for Whodini among many others. When you consider the influence these songs had on Hip-Hop it's easy to see Premier's stance.

Any of the DJ's on here have a tribute mix of his work? If not, can I please request one be made?

Found a couple of great articles on him.
