Don’t mean to be picky, but that’s not the Pete Rock version of ‘The World Is Yours’. It’s the hook from the Q-Tip remix. It’s one of my all time Nas favs, so had to clarify that. Anywho…

dude produced anoather classic song luchini….but yaa dead prez is def a classic its a shame that nas didnt hop on the track when jay asked him 2. think bout it back in 96 jay/nas flow was so potent, incredible, and fluid if they had gone at it back n forth like biggie/jay did in brooklyn’s finest that wouldve been craaaaazy

This is what’s wrong with hip-hop. Hot video. And like that dude said, Nas and Jay together at that time would have been legendary.

dead presidents is pretty easy to make since it’s heavily sampled. i made it within like a day and remixed it sampling different parts. just finding the right drums can take the most time.
