Also Primo is repping the Minnesota North Stars. Two teams that naturally go together (?)




Being that Primo is originally from Houston, him being a hockey fan at all is kinda weird.




i just watched a hilarious snoop and nardwar interview where snoop talks about how he turned into a big hockey fan. great stuff

Helllsyeah... I remember watching that video with my friends and we were geeked over those white Ewings!! After that, we all had a pair... we couldn't get the gold link chains though... He was rockin them on the front cover as well.

Hey,





The above quote sums my view of Preem's work on "Step in the Arena." More than that, he made (to me) the single biggest come-up on the beat tip since DITC after producing on Lord Finesse's second album. Anyway, Guru and Preem came into their own on "Step in the Arena", and my joints were "Check the Technique" (I love that "California Soul" jernt to this day), "Just to Get a Rep", and "Who's Gonna Take the Weight." "Step in the Arena" is a true hip hop classic, and I'm glad it was recognized for the Soul Strut 100.





Peace,
