Loved this concert in celebration of Hip Hop! Great DJs! Great crowd! I wish I would’ve known I could bring my blanket and more surprise guest would’ve been great
Show was very hot--Preemo taking his craft to another level with live instruments--what else can he do--I was impressed, and I'm not impressed easily--I go back to the very very beginning with this Hip-Hop culture-especially "Boom-Bap"
This show was so great- mixing a classic DJ set and a live band complete with brass is so innovative! Primo really brought his classics as well as my childhood heroes to life! The surprise local artists- such as Termanology and Big Shuge were just icing on the cake. RIP Guru- you are missed!
Easily one of the top 3 shows I've ever seen, any genre, in the last 20 years. This should easily be a Netflix or HBO special, memorialized and available for the world to see. God bless Premo and what he does for the hip hop culture!
Show started at 11pm, so you had time to get food and a few drinks with friends or significant other before going to the show. Because these two producers, DJ's have had a huge impact on Hip Hop music, the expectation was high and they did not disappoint!! Given the show ws billed as a competition they played each others music which was a nice twist and a compliment to one another. This night Brand Nubian was in the house to perform and this dropped classic songs produced by Premier and Pete Rock...All I can say is it was money well spent!!
Best live performance this year.2 of the best producers in hiphop history ripped the stage with pure hiphop records.
Premo and PR went above and beyond to give their loyal fans, as well as those who just love their art form, the time of our lives. They enticed us with their samples and cleverly transitioned into an array of their greatest hits - and dug their crates for a few lesser-known tracks that any true hip-hop head would appreciate. Pete Rock's brother was the perfect hype man, entertaining with explosive dance moves and commentary that filled in any blanks. Premier amused anytime PR was about to drop a heavy joint, with his exclamations, antics and laughter. It was adorable and captivating to see his personality shine through. The cutting and scratching was of course exemplary. Their set list proved that time is their only limitation as there clearly was not enough of it to display all of their hits and Bangerz. Nevertheless the energy was electric; the crowd went wild with every drop and we wanted more, more, more! True to their stellar reputations for having incredible character and graciousness toward their fans, they gave us even more of their time at the end of the show, shaking every hand and signing every autograph. I was in heaven the entire time. I definitely got my money's worth - in fact I would've paid much more to see my two favorite produces of all time. They lived up to and exceeded every expectation!!!!
The show was off the hook. Can't wait for their next performance, more guest appearances is needed.
Okay so I am a huge hip-hop fan and as a DJ I was excited to get the chance to see on e of my idols in DJ Premiere. No slight to Pete Rock. He is dope, but not really known for his DJ skills. I have read a few of the other reviews and they are pretty much spot on. The show started late which was wack. Not sure who's fault it was, but it reflects negatively on all parties involved. Seeing them actually do their thing was cool. I would have like a little more cohesion between the two of them and maybe an MC or two. In conclusion, I would say that it is always good to see the era of hip-hop that I grew up with represented. I just wish it was represented a little bit better.
I've been to well over 50 hip hop shows, and this was probably my favorite one of all time. I wouldn't expect any less from these 2 dudes.
