As for "So Ghetto" I really like it actually - that and "It's Hot (Some Like It Hot)" are my favourite Jay-Z raps on the album (he sounds so disarmingly natural, so unpretentiously nuanced). Admittedly the production isn't *spectacular*, but that guitar sample is hella cool, and I reckon the track just about edges out Rockwilder's "NYMP".

I also like his stuff on J-Live's 1st album, although I can't remember specifically which tracks he made (I have the bootleg vinyl with no production credits - I'm prett sure of "Wax Paper" and the title track, though.

Outta all the beats Primo did for Gang Starr i think my favorite track by them is "code of the streets" which is a Guru production.
"Outta here" is my favorite joint he did for Krs.
Favorite Primo beat ever ?..uh, maybe "stick to ya gunz".
Some favorites not mentioned :
Lord Finesse-baby, you nasty
Lord Finesse-strictly for the ladies
Special Ed-freaky flow remix
Screwball-f.a.y.b.a.n
Screwball-seen it all
Bumpy Knux-a part of my life
Big Shug-the jig is up
The NYGz-giantz ta this
Gang Starr-the natural

One of my favorites is the Show and AG track which is basically him cutting up the "Genie" vocals from Kool and the Gang over a stutter drum beat. Forget the name of the song.

Oh come on. The only reason you stopped liking the "Ebonics" remix is because it became a hipster anthem.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 25 December 2007 11:06 (sixteen years ago) link
it did? weird
― deej, Tuesday, 25 December 2007 14:59 (sixteen years ago) link
i thought hipsters only liked 30 yr old women pretending to be lil mama
Haha, I can totally see that as a hipster anthem, because it explains all the hipsters what the rappers are actually saying.

Anyway, I really prefer the original beat to "Ebonics", that one and "Size 'Em Up" are really hard-hitting in all their simplicity. If i remember correctly, the same dude also produced Nas's "Ether" and "The Last Real Nigga Alive", which are also great.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 25 December 2007 15:08 (sixteen years ago) link
As for Premier, search "Evening News" from Cee-Lo's second solo album. That one's a rather untypical Primo beat, but great anyway.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 25 December 2007 15:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, "Everyday" by M.O.P., another slowish, moody jam.

i still fuck with ebonics u bum just not premos soft-ass remix

where do you guys keep meeting all these alleged hipsters who know about rap that isn't lil wayne, dipset, clipse and novelty hip-pop from the early 90s?

once i met a hipster who just listened only to rap music, knew a lot about it, and was really passionate about it... i threw out all my records the next day

i always bracket all city in my head with group home for the "slept on classic dope production marred by subpar mcs" cw except in the case of all city the mc's are really a bit boring imo as opposed to group home via j-zone's amazing defence etc.
