Future Classic: Q-Tip, Raekwon, Busta & Lil’ Wayne “Renaissance Rap”

Hip-Hop

QTip, Busta Rhymes, Raekwon and Lil’Wayne bring back the grand old tradition of the possee track!

Heard this yesterday for the first time and i’m on listen #23 already. This is another reason why the “internet era” can be so empowering for music. 10 years ago you would have had to wait a couple months for this to come out, tape it off the radio or something (although I miss doing that) or have this one friend who just came back from NYC so all you have is the shitty version with Dj Clue on top of it screaming “Wooohooo, new shit!!! Clueee!!!”

Nowadays, the guys probably emailed each others’ verses yesterday and it’s out today… it’s a beautiful time.
