    I remember when I first heard this beat and I thought "No way this is Premo." But, it just goes to show how versatile this man really is. One of his best produced songs in my opinion for that reason.

      honestly this isn't one of my favorite Preem beats by a long shot. With that said, it's still a good beat and I admire the versatility. I used to read goofy Internet comments back in the day that argued Preem wasn't a real producer like Dr Dre or whatever. Just a sample beatmaker. LOL.

    Anyone else have even MORE respect for Preme after finding out that he produced this? I knew about his legendary gritty and grimey beats but had no idea he could slow the tempo down and put together a slap like this. This beat just FEELS Houston and it came from the king of NYC beats (I know he's from Texas originally).
