If only this track also had LL and Big Daddy Kane.

[uniquecreation86]

i don't care what anybody says this is one of the best collection of Mcs on one track. One of the best i've ever seen or heard and their lyrics have a good message too.

Hold tight DJ Premier, Rakim, Kanye West, Nas, and KRS-ONE

[GabrielBean78]

that graffiti is doppppeee

[FallenAngels92]

one word: flawless

[raiderkoko]

Timeless so age don't count in the booth when your flow stay subbmurged in the fountain of youth. "Fire"

[bensr]

this song is fukin ill

[soladyatvienna]

Love this song!!!

[awwskeet05]

you kno this song was jus made for the air forces right..its not gunna be on ne ones albums or ne thing.

[latind12]

nice song kanye west eminem and 2pac r da kingz of hip hop maybe snoopy too

[BPT7]

THIS IS HIP HOP this is what nas meant by HIP HOP IS DEAD all this otha stuff now is jus rap

[pechonalidad]

dude look at those scratches by premo, nothing less than perfection

[stbf]

Now THAT was hip hop! We need more songs of this calliber and less of that Southern booty shakin' TRASH! NYC it is time to RETAKE what is rightfully ours!

[vindictive3333]

YESSSS my two favorite old school MCs on tha same track, Rakim and KRS ONE. Kanye and Nas were good, but I wuld of have liked 2 seen more lyricist 2 replace kanye nd nas but then again they were perfect 4 tha role cuzz there like tha onlii rappers who can compare 2 tha MCs

[brian91388]

Nas aint a lyricist? U kiddin me right? Nas is widely regarded was if not the best lyricist ever then one of the top 3. Damn u seriously dont think nas is a lyricist?

[raiderkoko]

Hes talking about jay'z in this shit. He taught jay how to flow right and he turned his back on him.

[andywak]

1994 nas released illmatic the source regarded it as one of the best albums ever to come out of new-york, jay-z was a upcoming rapper and realsed his own solo album in 1996 on his & dame dash's independent record label rocafella records, nas had connections with fellow rappers including Notorious B.I.G and other rappers and got them on the album, jay-z reached out to nas to see if he would help out and nas rejected the offer claiming that he wasnt on his level. therefor starting a beef later on

[andywak]

"Jay-Z had connections with fellow rappers including Notorious B.I.G and other rappers and got them on the album"* sorry lol

[Fatman500kay]

jay-z a biter..he dont got shit on nas

[DonVinzone]

Finally! Finally some rappers that got something to say, and don't rap about money, hoes and clothes. That was fun for a while, but this is what its about. I hope Kanye Will bring the game back to the classic old skool shit, that would save hiphop and rap from these fake gangsta rappers, that aren't even as gansta as the good old Pacs, Biggies, Snoops, Dres, Ice Cubes and Ice Ts were.

This shit is amazing.

[mimiSON]

THAT'S THAT REAL SHIT!!!!

[RecordCity]

Fuck a damn cars and bling bullshit ass rappers go fuck yourselves hair metal backlash against all you wack ass sons of bitches!!!!!

[seyvionc]

Screw anyone who hates rap

[abcDesi90]

I respect anyones taste in their own music, what i dont understand is that people would rather listen to soulja boy or dj unk than this classic these days

[SIRC909]

i know huh

[purduein98]

Rakim looks like death, but he's got the hottest verse on this track.

[Ogidi]

he's in his 40's now i guess

[raiderkoko]

True that

[loposa]

This is some tiight stuff....i wish KRS's part was longer...he's better than the rest in my book....but stil they all tight......i wish my generation would bump more stuff like this....no one got respect for the classics anymore...its sad......nas's part was too long.....wat else......Dj Premier is tight..and my idol DJ....they should do somethin wit Kid Capri....Audi 5000,

[daciple]

Jeah baby this is one of the illest shits ive heard in a min!!!!!!!!!!!! Every last one of them killed it...I love em all they all are trume emcees!!!! I so wish this kinda shit was pumped on the airwaves

[swenus]

wtf is kanye west doing on there haha

[Millerinho]

This is the difference between MCing and Rapping. Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift their people. Always Remember that KNOWLEDGE is the most powerful thing. Let's bring back the real MC's to Hip-Hop.

[citystar2318]

whose and what album is this song on?

[MidasTouchLive]

Check out my remix for CLASSIC on my channel/videos.

[andyjturn]

Me, I got no jewels round my neck

Why? I don't need em, I got your respect!

Too true, fuck bling, this is hip hop baby!

[andyjturn]

Timeless, so age don't count in the booth

When your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth

[citystar2318]

this was the best verse i've heard in a loong time

[chris07b]

No words to explain how good that is. Kanye West your my favourite, so talented so he can be as confident as he likes to be.

[2SKARX]

ooo watch out4joe-he da gangsta one

dissed dis song cos apparently dey "dont bus' no gun"?

dey "bus'"lyrics u idiot,makin music-dats it

guns aint needed for dis-real hip hop without dat shit

[dmizzle79]

U can't man. This is real Hip-Hop right here.

[juliustheman]

Man, if Kanye West invited MC´S representing the 5 boroughs, I would tell him to do this classic shit: BROOKLYN: BIG DADDY KANE, QUEENS: NAS MANHATTAN: Anyone... THE BRONX: KRS-1 and LONG ISLAND: RAKIM

[sugarfree133]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccc­cccccccccceeeeeee

[RappingDelight]

Damn I wish DJ Premier did more work with these people. Of course, Nas reigned supreme, but Kanye was coming hard, especially for his standards (no dis, I like Knaye, but more the beats).

Rakim and KRS, you know they got their shit down like that.

Love this kinda stuff, this is the kind of stuff that busts in my ears all day!

Listen to Lupe if you like KRS-One

[darklizardman]

lmao at joe comment, what a stupid nig the best rappers dont need guns unlike the da faggots these days...sigh....

[xanderino12]

Nice interesting post! But, have you seen what happens if you put diamonds in a blender? Check it out blend.lostfrog 'dot' com

[frasermclaren]

who cares if they "don't bust guns" the guy who said that is an idiot. This is real hip hop dude with the best producer of ALL TIME dropping that classic east coast boom bap. we need this back!! no one out there today can come close to this !!

[RjasiOmillzC]

wat is that music mixing thing that premeir is using at the begining called? i really wanna know

[keagankeagankeagan]

An Akai MPC- the hiphop classic. Not sure of the exact model though.

[PurpleDrank27]

tupac is overated.

50 cent is underated.

listen to GRODT or the Power of a Dollar by 50, shit was dope.

[TuCkEr221]

joe.. since when did you have to blast a gun to be a dope rapper? fuck outta here

[Legends10]

Wow! Just... Wow! I'm Blown Away. This was... Amazing. Nas, Rakim, KRS, DJ Premier and Kanye!? Ok, I'm not a huge fan of Kanye, but the greats... Just... Wow! Nas is just one of the greatest lyricist alive. Rakim... Wow! KRS... Wow! Premier... Wow! Kanye... He did good. (Lol.) I have some weird feeling in my stomach... This was just... Wow!

[joe90210]

fuck outta here wit dis shit

nas don't bus' no gun

rakim don't bus' no gun

kanye don't bus' no gun

krs-one don't bus' no gun

[Movement2006]

dumb motha fucka, listen to the lyrics, then judge.

[ansom01]

to joe90210.... huh? the fuck wrong with you, something gotta be the fuck wrong with you, the... sigh

[GodandSon]

You "don't bus' no gun"

We don't need any myspace ganstas

[lilleekie]

You really dont need a gun for talent. This is real Hip Hop not none of that mainstream you be listing to. Why some of todays rappers need a gun and bling to sell records because the bling outshines the talent.

[hotguy2985]

pure muthafuckin fire

[nathaniel16]

RAKIM AND BLAST MASTER KRS-ONE hittin some shit wit my man NaS and Premo. this shit is exactly what it claims to be. CLASSIC

[mkemayor]

[JayZak]
