0:53-0:59 PREEEEEMO!!!!

Nas - Represent

ILLMATIC

1994

BEST HIP-HOP ALBUM OF ALL-TIME

[UngratefulLiving420]

Yo they call me Lee Erwin I'm not your legal type of fella

Moet-drinkin, marijuana-smokin street-dweller

[IMCifra]

0:53 And so the legend was born...

[StankySwank]

for the past 2 hours ive been going thru every song on illmatic and finding where the gold came from... It's so amazing, i started with one love and The Heath Brothers - smilin billy suite, which is played on an African instrument called a Mbira (which ive never heard of before), to this, fkin music from the 20s!!! Q-Tip, Pete Rock, and all the rest of the producers on this album, I wish i could thank them for everything, not only Illmatic, but for broadening my musical spectrum. peace

[MrAirtyme]

This gives me the goosebumps..... damn just got a greater appreciation for what illmatic meant to the genre

[LivingHipHop17]

Azures7 , Imagine that, a lost classic, but ive heard that Premier listens to the whole sample before he makes the beat, so does Pete Rock, Peace

[albertoivanortizz]

samples samples samples. i love it

[EGsince85]

I wonder how Premo came up on the Lee Erwin sample, I really doubt there was any vinyl ost put out to this film from 1927...he must have ripped it from an old vhs or somethin

[verneronkomee]

its from 1927

[Azures7]

Imagine if he didn't listen to the whole song and just thought it was all like the beginning

[casperlok2dbrain]

probably one of my favorite samples of all time. represent. classic dope shit.
