New Eminem Produced By DJ Premier???

[MR_HIP_HOP_HEAD]

Back in the 90’s it seemed that in order to be somebody you couldn’t possibly do an album without the legendary DJ Premier stamping his trademark production. From Nas to Jay-Z and everyone in between, a DJ Premier track made every artist worth talking about official. These days, those calls have dwindled as the younger crop of emcees have opted to go another route while Premier nurtures a new batch of emcees.

But there’s one person that needs that extra punch to make his comeback official and he picked up the phone to make that call…

Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady aka Eminem

"I just got a call from Eminem," Primo revealed exclusively to HipHopDX.

The song, titled “Keys To The City," will indeed be on Eminem’s upcoming album (possibly leaked as the street single) and will be the first time Slim Shady will put his signature flow behind a DJ Premier backdrop.

“It’s a song that he actually produced and he wasn’t crazy about the track," Premier says as he recalls the conversation between he and Em. “(I told him) as long as I can strip it clean and do what I do with your vocals it will be dope," and the final result according to Premier? “It’s dope!"

The former Gangstarr producer explained that he thought the initial song Eminem did with his own production was great but Eminem called, wanting that “DJ Premier sound.�

But how exactly will the two sound together?

“Man…Eminem is back," Premier continues. “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."

With a legend like DJ Premier saying that the song is “ridiculous" what more can you expect? Be on the lookout for “Keys To The City" off of the as-yet-titled Eminem album dropping this year.

One of my favorite rappers working with my favorite producer. If this is true, ya'll have no idea how excited I am for this. Em and Premo collabo is gonna be hot!

... something like that on a Primo beat... holy shit, enuff said

 

[Preach]

it does sounds interesting.

i mean, every rapper who comes back with his second, third, whatever album always does some huge collabo, and there's always some news article saying such and such produced a track and it's gonna be FIRE. i know how that shit go though.

but it does sound interesting.

 

[Tekneek]

Damn, I wanna hear this.

I would've been more excited about this a few years ago, but hopefully it turns out well. Eminem needs to put himself in the hands of other producers and leave the songwriting to them while he just worries about spitting and getting that frog out of his throat.

i wasnt too excited about the eminem album, but hearing this news has changed that.

however, lets not get too carried away. dj premier is only talking about the song and not the album when he says "eminem is back" etc...

 

[S O F I]

leave the songwriting to them

 

[Preach]

i'm gonna go out on probably one of the most unstable limbs i ever have and take an ultra wild guess that he mixed up and meant to say "and leave the beatmaking to them".

don't hold me to it if i turn out to be wrong, though.

 

[roaches]

Nah, I meant what I said.

This sounds like it could be good. I do think Eminem has gotten shitter and shitter lyrically, over time, but he's still good. My major gripe with him is that I think his production sucked ass, and that's why he got progressively worse for the most part, because every subsequent album contained more of his own wack ass beats.

^^And his voice and flow went bad.

You obviously judge flow very poorly. The quality of his music went down because he focused on the flow and not on the lyrics! Encore was all about his flow blending in with the beat, some tight shit. Listen to Rain Man, listen to We Aint on game's shit. Flow is bananas. Plus, like Mili said, he decided to take fans for granted and use mediocre beats.

You probably think Immortal Technique has a tight flow.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^no i dont

Are you telling me that he flows better on songs from encore than he does on songs like Bad Meets Evil or Renegade? I agree that his flow is good on Rain Man, but it isnt good on alot of other songs on that album

 

[S O F I]

Yes, in terms of ability to hit the beat right. However, the lyrical content doesn't come close.

The problem i have with this is, and correct me if i'm wrong, that it seems from the article that Eminem has already made the song.. spit his lyrics over the beat HE made, and he gave Premier the song and said i want a different beat. So it'll essentially be a remix, will it not? It's not like the two planned a collaboration previously, went in to the studio together and worked on the song. Anyone else agree?

That said, i am still very eager to hear how this turns out.


On another note, i always thought Premier produced that "Any Man" track off the second Soundbombing but just checked and he didn't.

Eminem's coming back. This has to be good. This cannot be another Encore.
