What I like about Premier, Pete Rock, & J-Dilla is that all three of them are amazing when it comes to sampling and chopping shit up to make crazy ass beats and each of them always say that the other two are their favorites.

Premier says Pete Rock & J-Dilla are his favorites
Pete Rock says Premier & J-Dilla are his favorites
J-Dilla said Pete Rock & Premier was his favorite

So to me it's the tri-factor of ultimate producers who are always trying to top the other, you know they do.

All three of them are my favorites and are the top favorites of A LOT of people but each had their own sound, flavor, and techniques that made them the best.
