NICE drop.
damn nas is killin it with these tracks.
remixes of the year? yeah it’s early in 007, but SHA ROCK? KOOL MOE DEE?
Damn.
Nas is turning into my favorite rapper with these remixes. Although, I will say that I was a bit disappointed with Kool Moe Dee’s bars: I was waiting for that commanding voice from the 80s spitting fire; he sounds like he tried to update things a bit and was working out a new flow that was a bit awkward.
Anyway, much love to TSS.
omg…
Kool Moe Dee hurt my feelings too!!!
Good to hear these remixes!
What is this a legion of zombies? lol (no offense)
But rly, this is still cool and all but it’s like they getting used as exhibitions in a museum or something… I don’t really like that part of it.
The might as well still be dead to the world. I just don’t see there careers getting resurrected. Like a majority of em don’t seem like they can hang around and be as distinctive as they once were.
I hope they prove me wrong though =D
Yeah, but a lot of these folks have moved on from trying to rock mics to other phases of their life. Notice that MCs from these eras who are still active (e.g., Big Daddy Kane) weren’t bothering with this. It’s a nice tribute, and Nas’s name will get some spins that individual singles from the old school greats wouldn’t get.
Now, the West Coast track was slippin’. For one, they added a new track, but it didn’t really sound like classic g-funk, so why bother? Not to mention that they didn’t bother adding subtle samples of the hits of each artist during their respective verses. Then, the line up of MCs was pretty hit or miss. I liked hearing from Breeze (from Michigan) and Mix-A-Lot, but why the Conscious Daughters? What happened to MC Eiht/CPW and Yo-Yo? And who thinks of Candyman when you’re thinking about the West Coast?
Anyway, a good effort, but not as dope as the first two tracks.
That west coast joint is tha one!!!
Of course their careers aren’t getting revived, who cares? This is a great thing for Nas to do, and I’m sure he just wanted to show the world what something like this would sound like, and did it very well. The songs are sick, and all the people probably just got on it to relive the good days for a few bars, I’m sure after they spit their verses, they went back to their normal life or smoked a blunt with some heads they haven’t seen for damn near two decades. I don’t think they have any intention of showing up at Jay-Z’s desk in the morning asking for a deal,
SMH at people on the internet worrying about other peoples careers. All the broke rappers y’all hate on still got more paper than you.
The west coast remix is the best. Nas did a great thing.
The Earth, Wind and Fire sample is sick. Cam used it on the Do Your Thing Remix, but they put it to better use here.
Sorry to post 3 things in a row, but any word if he’s doing a down south one?
Kam, Threat, King Tee?!!?
excellent!
Dude is going bananas with these remixes. Bringing back the posse joints…
Gotta love him for doing it.
Breeze not Breed.
..the B R E E Z E will EAZILY…….
the west coast cats rip it, everyone of their verses are good. i jusr heard a new mixalot song on the radio the other day and it was pretty good too…
glad to see raheim from furious 5 on this one too, raheim is the most underrated mc i can think of. i wish he had more verses all these years
see.. it’s funny that that “bulletproof wallets” dude said that response… the one about the broke rappers that I’m “hating” on…
betcha that hypocrite didn’t click the link lol
