DJ Premier speaks on the making of Nas is Like

[HipHopperFlyLo15]

I now worship black fish

[pianoman74]

Big respect to the dude who *REVEALED* what he used. Some DJs would rather keep it a mystery. And I tell you: if Premo had decided to NOT disclose the sample, it would have taken eternities to track down that obscure record where he sampled from (since it was spoken word, not even a "song")

[Krimewave186]

g o a t

[Quikster220]

One of the first singles he ever made with Nas? How is that possible, he did so much work on Illmatic?

[neopandorex2]

@Quikster220 ... single... not record...

[eljuba]

@Quikster220 Not sure any of their songs were released as singles.

[Daftendirektour]

OMG, I listen to that Robert Way record and it's so fucking boring and it makes me feel like going on a killing spree at a kindergarden... fuck...

then you listen to Nas is Like, and what DJ Premier did to it, and you have total EARGASMS (:

[jankileo]

This story is amazing. Still, how did he hear this beat in this record (watch?v=hHsJSerLQyM&feature=r­elated)? I guess that's the question that will be asked for ages concerning this beat. Oh yeah, what is listed in the parenthesis is the track that he sampled. Just how did he do it?

[OlSkooLHipHop]

''Robert Way - What Child Is This'' this is the original sample

[StrosB4Hos]

i see premo reppin with the Texans hat..

[ANONONTHEJEWTUBE]

Nas is Like is the shit... My God that track is insane.
