On the latest episode of DJ Premier's So Wassup, he breaks down the making of "The Militia" from Gang Starr's fifth album, Moment of Truth. The classic posse cut features Freddie Foxxx, Big Shug, and Guru. Preemo explains that a chance meeting with Foxxx in Manhattan led to his inclusion on the track.
"Me and Guru were making some moves heading to a meeting, and we saw him hangin' out on the humble," he explained. "When we saw him, he saluted us and told us if we ever wanted to work on somethin' he was down. Premier explains that after Shug laid his one take verse Freddie came into the booth and warned that he would record with his twin glocks out. "He does his verse with the [glocks] out in one take, and says that he has to go to a meeting," he remembered.
