Comment:

DJ Premier's minimal productions left quite a stamp on hip-hop. By carefully sliding simple loops over heavyweight breaks, he helped ensure the classic status of records by Nas (the persistent piano melody of "N.Y. State of Mind"), the Notorious B.I.G. (the clinking keys of "Unbelievable"), and his own legendary group, Gang Starr (the jazzbo guitar and bombastic bassline of "You Know My Steez").
