The Persuaders: DJ Premier vs. DJ Toomp

The Persuaders: DJ Premier vs. DJ Toomp

The Persuaders: “We’re Just Trying To Make It”
From the album Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me (1974)

Nas: “Come Get Me”
From the album Nastradamus (1999)
Produced by DJ Premier

Nas: “N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave & The Master)”
From the album Untitled (2008)
Produced by DJ Toomp

Picking up from the awesome review Deez just wrote, here’s a sample that that has been used in two of Nas’ tracks. I think it’s obvious who the “premier” DJ is here, but I’ll let you all decide. On another note, the Butter Team has recently taken a play on our Who Flipped It series and put some emcees against each other instead of the producers. Go check it out. It’s actually right in line with a comment G.C. made recently.

    it’s funny how they both used the same joint for Nas but the tracks are like night and day.

    Preemo on this one he chopped it up nicely. Lyrics on the Toomp joint trump “Come and Get Me”.

    Yeah, I liked how Preemo chopped it up. it’s amazing how totally different these two songs are.

    @Deez… Spinners? Temptations? The track is by the Persuaders. Did I miss something?

    First off I forgot how much I hated the Nastradamus this was one of three tracks that I liked but Toomp production sounded more smooth and mellow not mention the lyrical content on the track

    Premo!

    toomp had the better one simply because he made a single out of it. true premo did do a good job at scratching but doesnt he always.

    jayz couldnt come harder than fabolous on the millie beat so..conclusion preemo is better at beat making but toomp makes $ingles
