If you ever had any doubt about who the greatest producer in hip-hop is, let this settle it. This playlist was spawned by a conversation in General Discussion about the greatest Non-Gangstarr DJ Premier beats which then had me realizing Primo has at least 100 great-to-classic level beats in this category before we add in the Gangstarr classics. Keep in mind Spotify is missing AT LEAST a couple of handfuls of one-off classics and 12" remixes, plus Freddie Foxxx's Industry Shakedown, all M.O.P. albums, Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, etc. or this list would be even MORE crazy. Still, 60 songs in all.

Thanks for posting.

I'll grab whatever I can find for my MP3 player, phones, and whatnot.

"Where was the peace when we were getting shot? Where's the peace when we were getting laid out?
Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then?
They don't want to call for peace then.

it's your Monday just like mine. treat yo' self.

i could picture most of these tracks giving me extra energy to do something like that.

here for dis.

the post that spawned this helped, but i did a fair amount of research to find the other 30-40% of the songs.
