DJ Premier answered all of the questions and also refuted the claims that Canibus’ listed on his diss track Tell The Truth on his Sirius radio show Live From The HQ last night. The celebrated Gang Starr deejay and producer revealed on his show that he meant no harm and that he wasn’t dissing him on the DJ Vlad interview.
Canibus [*on the diss track]: Why shovel shit on me for no reason?
Premier: I didn’t…
Canibus*: Who are you working for?
Premier: I work for myself I am self-employed: Year-Around-Records okay.
Canibus*: What agenda do you have and how are you helping hip-hop?
Premier: I am helping hip-hop by doing this show right here: LIVE FROM HEADQUARTERS cause hip-hop nation is the station…Sirius 40/XM67. We break the freshest shit.
Premier: I am the first guy to ever give you back your check for not finishing a job that we thought was gonna go down.
Premier: He says that I told him that I was making $80,000 a track for Christina but if it was in 2005 how in the hell did I tell you in 1998? So, that’s my truth. And then on top of that I don’t tell any artist how much I make because I don’t want anyone counting my paycheck.
Premier: Let’s get another truth correct, he claims that ten hours total that I was late. There’s a thing called a P.O., a purchase order if you do a deal. Or, you can do an All-In, means I get the entire payment and I pay the bills for everything: the cds, the reels, the dats to get pressed, the masters they get to walk with. I pay for all of that. Now I did an All-In. Now, you get your first half up front, all you people that want to learn the business, you get your second half when the job is done. The first half…after we did not agree on the record to get it done, I wrote the check back and still took a loss on whatever hours I did not show up ’cause I’m paying the bills. So I can come whenever the fuck I want to. That’s not to say that I don’t respect the fact that he’s there waiting for me but that is a totally different session. That’s from a session from the new shit we did. This thing right here with the stuff he’s complaining about, again, goes back to 1998 where I am the first person to ever give you all your money back…He says he didn’t know about it…you need to check the people that I gave the check to.”
Premier: Canibus calm down. I still love you brother. And let’s not take it past that ’cause I don’t want to take it to the level of doing a record that will outdo your record ’cause nobody’s records, on a diss record will outdo mine. Please believe it. It’ll be the funkiest thing since dog shit
He also continued that if one walked into Universal Records at that time that his letter to end the agreement and his returned check was on the receptionist wall to prove how real he was.
LIVE FROM THE HQ CO-HOST: That nigga: tri-polar.
Premier told his co-host to not say that because it rhymes with something else. And he’s not going to say it.
The answer? Solar.
Regardless DJ Premier says that this is hip-hop and that Canibus is his “loved one”. So, it’s all good.
