Kanye West, Nas, Rakim and KRS-One

"Classic (Better Than I’ve Ever Been) – DJ Premier Mix"

First performed in honour of the Nike Air Force One’s 25th anniversary, this monstrous cut gathers three of hip-hop’s greatest MCs and Kanye together to throw down. Originally produced rather tamely by Rick Rubin, this remix has been rejuvenated thanks to Premier’s golden old school vision. Injecting it with gorgeously plucked harps, some Primo signature scratches, and, of course, Rakim’s masterstroke on the mic, it’s a perfect slice of nostalgia that shows these legends haven’t lost all their spit just yet. Proceeds from sales of this joint on iTunes go towards Force4ChangeFund, so don’t be cheap, pay for the sucker.
