3. "a lot of people still think he produced Whirlwind Thru Cities and Change" In response to Reply # 0
Shadez of Brooklyn - Change and Afu Ra - Whirlwind Thru Cities are songs that confused people for one reason or another. Change was on his Haze mixtape, and Whirlwind had Primo on the cuts.

I remember when the bootleg came out two guys got in a shouting match about it in the barbershop I used to go to. I had an advance promo copy I got from the used bin at Plan 9 and I showed them the liner notes. Funny thing is neither of them knew who Jay Dee even was, which made it more hilarious now that they thought it was Jermaine Dupri.

in the style of Win the G or NY Straight Talk, he's been doing those forever.

was best. The "he does your style better than you do" sentiment was a little too heavy from his fans, but I always enjoyed hearing producers interpret other producer's methods.

14. "It actually sounds too hype to be Premo. Think about it, not a single" In response to Reply # 0
Premo song has ever been seen as a "club banger" in that sort. Plenty get love at Hip Hop head spots, basically for the "Hip Hop Hands" and head nodders...Mass Appeal, 10 Crack Commandments, all those. But like, none ever set the club off and had folks amped like "Ante up" did, so I never thought it was him.

20. "Ehh....it's really an age thing and a regional thing. I guess what I mea..." In response to Reply # 18
is none of those songs had folks jumping around and pushing each other.
Dwyck, 10 Crack Commandments, Unbelievable, Mass appeal, Come clean, NY State of Mind, all those were bangers to Hip Hop heads...mainly 35+, and especially on the East Coast. But only "Ante up" would possibly get folks jumping around and amped up in the way that "Wild out" used to, or anything near how Benjamins and those tracks were. Premo's tracks are all head nodders to me...Ante up had even more energy, even if it was more because of MOP than the beat itself.

34. "Damn, yeah I can believe that. Most Hip Hop head spots I've been to" In response to Reply # 21
are always just head nods and Hip Hop hands, barely any actual dancing. But that's in L.A., and in the past 10 years, so it could be way diff on the East.
23. "The song that most reminded me of Ante Up was N 2gether Now" In response to Reply # 14
The song Primo produced for Limp Bizkit. That song is kind of wacky and fun like Ante Up. But you have a good point about the sound of Ante Up not matching many songs in Premier's catalog.
Usually, my guesses about the songs producers make re accurate, but Ante Up just threw me for some reason.

29. "Yeaa I mean it's def a Primo influence on Ante up, no question" In response to Reply # 23
It may even be because I used to produce, and could always tell certain songs that weren't made by a certain producer, even if it sounded just like their style. This is the case with a whole lot of Quik and Dre beats, Timbaland and Pharrell as well.
The "N2gether now" actually does sound a bit more fun and loose than a lot of Primo's songs.
The video game sounds on the edited version clued me on Primo having some role in the song along with the sound of the instrumentation, including the drums.
