Premo has a voice like a chain smoking 1970’s jazz musician. 😂😂😂

[SPAlNKY]

Dr. Dre and DJ Premier. Two Legends that are in my top 5 all time Hip Hop producers

[Mike-rhii]

Couldn’t have had it any other way…
Dre’s marketing plan for 50 was genius and worked out perfectly

[camronshean]

It wouldn't have hurt any of their careers to have let 50 Cent do the song

[jastrology]

I like how 50 never made Dr Dre the end all be all like Game and a lot of other gangsta rappers did. He kind of jumped around a lot of producers and created his own lane. Now he’s in all sorts of industries. Dude just hustles

[ducatarina]

Damn even Preme knows about Power Of The Dollar Álbum, respect to him, if 50 had put some songs from POTD on GRODT and made a double album it would be the greatest album ever, I always said that 50 would big without Em and Dre too before that he had JMJ, Nas, Kid Capri, TrackMasters and Now Premo with Him 🤷🏿

[kristopherhardy]

Fr tho Preme NEEDS to release an ‘Unreleased’ vol 1, 2, etc album series w that as the 1st single

[Coronaboii]

Dre did the right thing and made history. This is why he’s the GOAT.

[johntgilmore]

You say that Dr. Dre blocked it that’s incorrect. I know a lot of people do not read the comments, but if you get a chance to read mines. That’s not fair and if anyones knows that it should be you since you understand how business works.

[TheBulletzgottishow]

Dre was hating on premo 50 and premo would've been dope

[koffiged]

They could've kept that song for the album tho

[phillipskillern]

I love how people in the comment section say stuff like “50 didn’t need Dre or Em! He woulda made it, etc…” like y’all in the industry.
Even 50 Cent, the Man himself, has said without Em and Dre he wouldn’t be where he is. Y’all need to chill and listen from the man’s mouth himself instead forming y’all’s own opinions.
But on some other ish, 50 was popping but the machine that Aftermath was at the time, 50 hit a lick and ran with it. He knew what was up and that’s 50, Dre and Em was the 3 headed monster back then. Nothing was messing with them!

[messiahblackgod]

You can't lose on a Preem joint...It was a win win for Fiddy..

[geesehoward]

REAL SHIT why that happened is becuz Dre didn't want to be OUT SHINED on his project he just did. Premo was consistent wit BANGERS and Dre wasn't.

[Outtapocket]

depends on what the beat & song sounded like, if it fit the whole sound & image they were pushing it shoulda just dropped.

[mightylaser]

He should’ve put that premo song on his album

[chaunceyc]

Anybody that does an album with Preeme no matter what generation is gonna be lit 🔥🔥🔥

[EMPEROR_KING_SIDDY]

I'M SURE ONCE 50CENT BLEW UP WIT GET RICH ALBUM THAT SONG WAS ON A MIX TAPE OR 50CENT PROBABLY HAS IT AND IS HOLDING TO IT AKA REMIXING AND

[lilvegas]

Gotta love Premier! Already had songs like Too Hot with 50 Cent when 50 was running with Nas and Bravehearts and freestyling with Ali Vegas all Queens guys. You could have done a hundred songs with him. But G Unit 50 Cent about to drop Get Rich. Dr. Dre is blocking your from working with the man like y’all haven’t already work together. Boy you gotta watch these producers. Sometimes it’s all about them.

[ChefGMoney]

Ain’t no telling how many good to great songs we will never get to hear 🤦🏾‍♂️
