Eminem & DJ Premier Build “Keys…”

Monday, March 17, 2008
By: Mike Ivey Jr.


EminemApparently learning at the foot of a musical avant-garde like Dr. Dre hasn’t spoiled consummate lyricist Eminem. Shady/Aftermath’s golden child enlists 90’s hip hop sound-shaper DJ Premier of Gangstarr to produce “Keys To The City,” a track on Eminem’s highly anticipated new album. “Man…Eminem is back,” says Premo in a recent online interview. “He attacked the track with a new style, just fucking ridiculous, kind of like how he came with ‘The Way I Am’ but even more lyrical like the old Eminem.”

According to Premo, the producer behind acclaimed favorites by Nas, Jay-Z and a host of other lauded artists, “Keys…” is a song Eminem produced but didn’t like. “(I told him) as long as I can strip it clean and do what I do with your vocals it will be dope,” says Premo. “Keys…” reportedly will be leaked as a street single for Eminem’s forthcoming album.

Eminem’s last studio LP, ‘Encore,’ was the first of four not to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album. The controversial Detroit bred emcee is also working on a memoir, entitled ‘The Way I Am’, that’s reportedly set for a Fall 2008 release. Eminem in 2006 released a compilation called ‘The Re-Up,’ featuring little known Shady and Aftermath acts like Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater and Cashis. The album’s lead single, “You Don’t Know,” featured 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks and peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

I don't think it will be that great because em has fallen off and premo's beats don't bang like they used to

^i like how you try to discredit em and preem.. Talkin bout "preemo's beats dont bang" and "em fell off" but you'll stand here with a straight face and lie and front like jay-z aint fall off.. And you got the nerve to try to put just blaze(mr. Softee) and 9th wonder in the the same universe with premier??? theres a difference between beats on a records liner notes labled "produced by d.j. Premier" as apposed to beats labeled "works of mart" obviously you dont know what the difference is james!!! im very dissapointed in you young lad! you must be in the d listenin to lil wayne or somethin? you've become delusional! turn off your computer and plug up the 1200's and dust off your records right now james!!! theres still hope for you..

I'll give it a listen if: 1.em doesn't rap about how much he hates his mom 2.em doesn't rap about how much he loves his daughter 3.em doesn't complain about life like he's been doing for the past 3 albums

The f*ck is this dude talking about?^^^ if he doesnt talk about life????? the most annoying thing in the world is hearing some dude like jeezy get a mill off some sh*t that he has no personal experience with. Then u have em, who talks about real sh*t..and yall sh*t on him. F*ck outta here... Em & primo? thats what time it is...
Posted by free_spm
Apparentlly jeezy got a nick name "7mill" cuz apparenly thats how much he sold in drugs or some b.s. But on the topic at head im going crazy about this colabo cuz i think thats putting the two best together to do something great! ive always wondered y premo waste crazy beats on wack rappers " (big suigie bear anyone?) and have always wanted him to do a song with em....so now all i can do is wait =[ but it will be worth it!

^big shug aint wack! his style is old school jailyard boston! big shug is to oldheads (30 & over) what little wayne is to newjacks.if you aint live on your own in the mid eighties-early nineties you cant feel shug! big shug's style is "fistfight,now go get your big brother,knock him out too" big shug is a direct representation of the "livest" era!

Great! good sh*t! i can't wait... And to all ya'll arguing with these un-hiphop punks, i have to say, u are wasting ur time. I gave up when a 17,18 yr old told me the other day that he simply doesn't like "hip-hop" sh*t. He listen's to plies and and gorilla zoe all day. A black kid!!! and this was after i showed him a youtube video of theory hazit's "i just wanna go home"(please search that song on youtube. I tell u it's worth every phuckin' second!). He admitted that it was some real sh*t and it was dope. He said he simply prefers lil jon type sh*t. All i'm tryin' to say is, don't force people on hiphop. Some people don't know good music and can't appreciate what that they don't know. I know a 16 yr old whose psp is filled with 90's rap. He even bumps run dmc's "king of rock"! in his psp!!! i was amazed! i'm almost 21 now and i produce(/medmothedon), and all i can say is: times sure are changing. 1

Wow ya buggin..this is 2 oldman blizzard, not only is preemo one of the greatest producers of all time but freddie foxx is one the best mc's to me...i cant mess wit' shug style of rhymin,if that's ur style then that's u..learn to accept otha people's opinions bruh w/out catchin tittie attacks..it's a known fact among true headz that preemo always had a problem wit subpar mc's on his tracks,u rememba melachi da nutcracker of group home?? or is alzheimers catchin up?!

^true! todays youth are products of the"bill vito melotti" experiment. Babies in america born between 1985-1995 in every hospital in america were either sprayed,injected, or an ointment was applied to the skin after birth, an antibacterial agent/antibiotic called "gathederm" gathederm was scientificly proven to alter,distort,and even damage the musical senses and motor skills! its been proven that the effects causes the soprano vocal to be received by the brain as barratone and a solid bassdrum or bassline from a bass guitar registers to brain as distortion as apposed to a solid thud or harmonic vibration, thats one reason young people ride around with they bass loud and everything on the car rattle'n and shakin,thats an accquired taste for sound.we now live in an age of "gathederm babies" who's ears for music was destroyed at birth! has'nt anyone ever wondered why musical families that produced generation after generation of musical children just all of a sudden stopped? like wheres the new generation of "staple singers" or "sade" or "jacksons" or "james brown"??? james brown got all them kids & grandkids and not one of em got a lick of musical talent! what rappers can you name thats nice and they kids is nice too????

^^steven steal-him, malachi was not "sub-par" malachi has what was once a popular style in halfway houses and grouphomes (get it?) called "rec room"! him, u-god, and cappadonna are a rare few who master that style of paraphrazing! alotta people front on that rhyme style cause they cant do it. Jamal from def squad is ill with it too! the style is "rec room" n!ggaz in vision quest (boot camp/wagon train for juvenile offenders) use to rhyme usin the rec room style in the eighties- early nineties as well.. As far as your comment about my supossed "alzheimers catchin up" i have no family history of the illness,my memory is sharp! photographic 99% of the time. When k.r.s. Did his thing in union square i was there!, freshfest i was there! when j-live and the artifacts threw a concert for can goods at cmu and the n!gga j-live got on the wheels of steel and spit a rhyme and cut records up at the same time i was there!!!! this sh!t goin on today??? is wack as f uck!!!! peace to the mighty zulu nation

Anyways im not white and if you look at the youtube video and say the ppl in the crowds at a premo show or wa tang show or even a little brother show you would see that only a small precentage are even black.......since when was hiphop about a color. Eminem is one of the blonde or brown hair in all

I don't care if you black, latino, white or purple. Eminem never fell off, sure he didnt do record sales like before, but any real eminem fan will tell you dude never lost his touch, maybe he ran outta things to talk about, but the clockworks, the pure rhyming genius was and still is evident even in tracks like fack and smack that by akon for christ's sake, and i hate akon. He had some issues before, he got his momentum back, premier's a god, and this s#it's gonna be crazy, with ot without the grammy's or record-breakin sales.
Posted by King Mathers is back beeeyatch
I totally agree king mathers is back beeeyatch with or with out the grammy's this will be a F*ck*ng classic this is what hip hop needs im sick of this dance music bull sh*t i cant stand it. Real talk

^^^ ant you just mad cause you cant sing! singing is a god givin talent not to be looked at as soft! bobby womack sings and will f uck you up if you run up on him! all that "care bear" sh!t you talkin aint even funny! i guess since issac hayes sings that makes him soft to huh? and by the way rakim aint all that! sometimes hes ill, sometimes he aint.. And who has rakim battled and defeated to be crowned king??? im waiting.... Rakims last album was weak too! tell me im lyin
Posted by OLDMAN BLIZZARD
All im sayin is that premo needs to work with more rappers with the talent as eminem. Eminem is a student of rakim. Rakim is was of the best and ever song hes done with premo was crazy. I bought the big suge album "grand champ" just for some new premo beats. Im not saying thats not talent that the dude can sing i just want from straight fire track 1 to the end of the album, cuz the ppl that want singing are not ganna be the ppl that want to hear some r and b stuff man.....rakim fathered many a flow.....thats a god

Posted by M-Mniny@hotmail.com
^well let me ask you one question "m-mniny" who was the best rapper to you before you heard eminem??? for some reason eminem fans cant never answer this question without sayin 2pac,biggie, or pullin rakim out they ass! you know what ive discovered from asking this question??? ive discovered that 99% of eminem fans didnt have a clue what was goin on in hip hop before they seen that white face and decided (little voice inside your head) "it's safe now!" when people talk that "em is the greatest ever" sh!t without truthfully being a student and doin your research and studies.. Your discrediting thousands of emcees that pioneered,shed blood, and died for this! em will tell you himself he aint even top 50! em is a true student that knows better! do your homework sucka!!!!!!!!

Check this out all real and unreal cats on this blog. Niggas today is ignorant and no matter how you argue and try to refute their opinions, they will remain to be ignorant. I hate to say this about our youth of today but it is the truth. No one wants to listen and learn for themselves nowadays. I respect that. I know that i am a real hip hop cat and i keep that within myself. Geniuses can't be taught what real hiphop is. Let them be destitute. As for me, premo is a permanent fixture in my den. And guru you can always come back home, just leave the modern times jazzmatazz to the newjacks and get back to donald byrd and ronnie ayers. Peace out my n*ggas.

^ truth told ^diamondlife if only one cat pay attention,mission accomplished! we just kickin the willie though.. But why do alot of em fans act like em & dilla(r.i.p.) are the begining and end as far as detroit hip hop? they both beyond ill !!!!!!! but they didnt start it.. It seems like alot of em fans crates start at "jan 95"?????????

Posted by anthony
Yeah eminem sure is kewel ! but i still like fiddy the best man ! cause he does so much for his fans, i mean like look at this backstage channel here: .kyte.tv/ch/18531-thisis50com he posts loads of sh*t and it`s the bomb !!
Posted by dexter
Eminem is the greatest rapper out there and people don't think he's comin back well i say F*ck them and eminem is never been dead he is just sittin back for a while waitin to blow past every body i mean really who realeses a new album every single year .... Lets think aaaaaaaaaa....nobody dose!!!
Posted by malachi
Can't wait man, big fan, every eminem album comes up with good hits and sh*t...
Posted by Ross
Wake up you fools. No1 is the best mc, there are way 2 many dope mc's. To say one is the best cannot be done. And f*ck ya'll. Eminem is dope and he gonna bring fire on this track. Ya'll all claim to be hip hop heads but all i hear is hating...... And what do hip hop heads hate? haters. Stop being a bunch of whining hypocrites & just listen 2 tha music!!!
Posted by wake up fools
Lmao, same sh*t every day, the everlasting discussion about who the best mc is. Fact: there is no "best" mc. Is there a "best" football player? no. Is there a "best" clothing line? no. It's all about taste man, and taste is a thing you can't fucc with. For instance, a real hiphop head might not even like rakim because he finds his voice monotonous, but respects him for everything he did. That's the difference between the real dudes and the ones that front nowadays saying they know hiphop. Ot: fire! can't wait, em is a good mc and if premo says he's back, he's back. No doubt. "peace, love, unity, having fun, these are the lyrics of krs-one!" and a big fucc you to the suckaz that think lil wayne and soulja boyz are the greatest rappers ever. Not even a fuccing chance, ignorant suckaz!
