There’s not much more that can be said about Pete Rock that hasn’t already. A cornerstone in the game, the legendary producer has been at it for over 20 years when some of your favorite rappers now weren’t even born yet. Amazingly, he’s still going strong, as evident from his latest musical masterpiece 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s Part 2 featuring Talib Kweli, M.O.P., Uncle Murda, Mac Miller and Ab-Soul just to name a few, flexing the notion that his crafts transcends any era, old school or new school.
Pete invited Hypetrak to his residence in New York where inside laid his studio that’s responsible for some of hip-hop’s greatest cuts. They had a opportunity to discuss with Pete the contrast of generations in hip-hop and reminisce over some of his favorite memories in the music game.
