You’re renowned for having your trademark “Premier” sound, is it something you can put into words as to how it’s so different from everyone else?
Once I was given the chance to showcase my style, I’m from the era from when you had to be original. Like KRS-One said, “You gotta have style and learn to be original and everybody’s gonna wanna diss you, like me we stood up for the South Bronx, and every sucker emcee had a response, you think we care, I know that they they’re on the tip, my posse from the Bronx is thick!” That was my…not was, that’s still my mentality, you think I give a god damn, nah. I read a comment just recently when I was defending Drake and J.Cole for being younger guys that have some lyrics, because that’s what it’s about. PERIOD. If you can make simple rhymes and your record is dope then you can’t front on it, look at top billing for example. It’s the same thing with hip hop.It’s a competition for me, so when I talk about J. Cole and Drake and all of them, yea they got rhymes, and I know their levels of rhymes are going to be limited because they’re not old enough to know what I know and just don’t have the same level of experience. They missed the 80’s, which were overshadowed by real killings and real violence.
