We might be nicely settled into 2012, but that doesn’t mean there’s not room for one more Best of 2011 list, especially when that list comes from DJ Premier. Of course, like all vinyl junkies, Preemo doesn’t actually stick to the assigned 25. How many of these Premier-approved records did you check last year?
WeStoleTheShow spent some time with Hot 97 host and DJ Peter Rosenberg to ask him about how he got started in the industry, how the idea for “Generation Next” came about, what it was like to premier the Doom and Ghost Face track “Victory Laps” on the radio. Lastly Rosenberg touched on the experience of having Eminem and Jay-Z on podcast.

Everyone in this set brought something! This reminds me of when my sister had her Quinceañera and all the guys were “too cool” to do anything besides standing there in sunglasses looking mad. Newsflash, that gets old. Honestly, I did like the video but let’s be real and take it for what it is.
