kanye west, rakim, nas ve krs one'dan mükemmel bir şarkı. rap'in güzel günlerine bir gönderme...sözleri de şöyledir :

[rakim:]
is y’all ready for twenty-0-7, it’s now another drought
everyone’s a killer, wow we buggin out
since 86 showin the crowd what i’m about
and they still want to know when the album comin’ out
ask the teenagers, o’gs and ask the kids
what they definition of classic is
timeless, cause age don’t count in the booth
and your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth
and no doubt the truth i’m off the meters
everybody co-signing even non-believers
i came in the door, became one of y’alls leaders
in the fresh pair of air force one sneakers
uptown we call ‘em uppies when they on divas
prolly worn when krs one teaches
nas, made you look, before the haters
i bet you kan had ‘em on when he walked with jesus
this is classic

classic, better than i'v ever been
talent,
if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been
classic
better than i'v ever been

[kanye west:]
can’t buy this, superflyness, like a shyness, your highness
it’s performin’, look how long the line is
that’s what happens when you make shit that’s timeless
that’s what happens these rappers is the pioneers
what do it take to be a legend like nas is?
that’s so novice, i’m so polished, i got a right to be a little bit snobbish
i did a little bit of college, semesters it took 2 like rob base
to let me figure out this wasn’t my place, the beat slowed til’ you listened to my pace
cuz i be killin’ shit, but that’s evident, and y’all feelin’ it, but i expected it
if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been

classic, better than i'v ever been
talent,
if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been
classic
better than i'v ever been

[nas:]
perseverance, see the fake hustler rapper to them it hurts to hear this
o you went platinum – yeah that’s nice, now let me see you do the same thing twice
new times, 4 times, then been a couple of more times, please your amateur night is show time
it’s one life to live so live it the best you can, the world could use one less man
not enough air, not enough car factories to manufacture new vehicles sedans and vans
when they do make the whip you like ya chips ain’t right, by the time you could afford it the car ain’t important
in the streets silent, it’s just i and - cops keep firin’ in my environment
leavin’ your slum when they drive home far from the hood brothers they eager to jump on
i like to be the wall that they post up on, i like to see them fall, guilty for doing wrong
i’m classic like the air ones, the hustler shoe, that’s what i’m accustomed to

classic, better than i'v ever been
talent,
if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been
classic
better than i'v ever been

[krs one:]
how many y’all got criminal minded you you you y’all don’t be blinded
me i got no jewels on my neck, why – i don’t need ‘em i got your respect
krs 1 20 years i rock i do it for jmj and scott larock – this hip hop
and we’s a nation, don’t you want to hear more krs on your radio station?
instead of broadcasting how we smokin’ trees, on the radio we need to hear more local mc’s
where you at? come on where you at? this is the difference between mc’ing and rap
rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, mc’s spit rhymes to uplift they people
peace, love, unity, and havin’ fun, these are the lyrics of krs one

iki versiyonu olan kanye west şarkısı. orjinalinin adı "better than i've ever been" ve ünlü prodüktör rick rubin'in rock müzik etkili beat'ini kullanıyor. kanye west'e efsanevi iki mc, yani krs-one ve nas eşlik ediyor. internette falan fazla bulunmayan bu orjinal versiyon ahanda şurdan dinlenebilir: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvujdi133ng

ama asıl olay onda değil. asıl olay başlıkta sözleri yazılan, adı gibi "classic" olan harika remix'li harika versiyon.. zaten çok dikkat çeken bu ekibe bir de dj premier'in muazzam scratch'leri, sample'ları eklenmiş. yetmezmiş gibi rap'in babalarından rakim, harika verse'ü ile ne kadar büyük bir rapçi olduğunu bir kez daha kanıtlamış.

carl douglas'ın dance the kung fu'su, premier'in ellerinde harika bir beat'e dönüşmüş. asıl inanılmaz olan ise nas, rakim ve krs-one'ın performansları. inanılmaz derken, rap'i bilen herkes onlardan çok kaliteli işler gelebileceğinin farkındadır ama bence üçü aynı anda bu şarkıda kariyerlerinin en başarılı performanslarından birini sunuyorlar. üçünün kısmı da, ayrı ayrı her birinin kariyerinin en tepelerinde yerini alır. kanye west'in kısmı o kadar iyi değil ama o bile aslında başarılı.

son yıllarda çıkan en iyi rap şarkılarından biri.

adrian gurvitz'in 1982 yılında çıkarmış olduğu şarkı.

gotta write a classic
gotta write it in an attic
baby, i'm an addict now
an addict for your love
i was a street boy
and you were my best toy
i found it easy to annoy you
but you were different from the rest
and i loved you all the wrong ways
now listen to my say
if it changed to another way
would the difference make it ?
would it be a classic ?
i gotta send it right away
gotta write a classic
gotta write it in an attic
baby, i'm an addict now
an addict for your love
now i'm living my life
one day at a time since losing your love
i've been losing my mind
what more can i see
the future is so clear
and it's not what i mean
i mean it's not what it seems
i just keep living for the dreams
gotta write a classic ... gotta write it in an attic
baby, i'm an addict now ... an addict for your love
gotta write it down
and send it right away
i'm so down
and out of control
without your love ... i'm in love
came for love
there's no living without you
deep down i know ... you're not hearing
the words i say
gotta write it down
and send it right away

biraz önce kazaa vasıtası ile indirdiğim ve beni lise yıllarıma götüren güzel nostaljik şarkı...

mkto adlı grubun söylediği inanılmaz şeker şarkı. tam yaz şarkısı.

kanye west, krs-one, rakim ve nas'ın söylediği classic de tam klasiktir.

adrian gurvitz'in sevdiğim şarkısı bazı bölümlerinde işi gücü bırakıp uzaklara dalmamı sağlıyor bakıyorum bakıyorum da onun gördüğünü göremiyorum

mucc japon grubunun myakuhaku albümünden enfes bi parçadır kendisi. muhtelif animelerde kullanılmıştır. romaji yazılmış şarkı sözleri şöyledir:

doshaburi mekakushi de kasa nante sutechatte saa panorama o mi ni ikou
hirogatteru sekai wa daremo mita koto nai kurai hikari ni afureterunda

munashii daro shiawase sakendatte
ame ni toketa namida to shinkirou

kimi ga naku you na sekai nara donna tsumi nimo te o nobasou
hikari furu regret
kowase never ever heaven's blind world kieta utakata no yume
itsuka mita sora

nijinda yuuyake ni kimi ga kuchibue fuite 'mata ashita ne' 'sayonara'
sonna atarimae na mainichi o san, ni, ichi, zero de risetto nante kamisama mo warau kana?

miageta sora shiawase kidottatte
tsunde kareta saigo no kuroobaa

kimi ga hohoendekureru nara donna batsu demo ukeireyou
akatsuki no blurry sky
ikou never ever heaven's bright world chiisa na hitomi no oku ni
irodzuita mirai

eien o hitotsu negatte sayonara o hitotsu kobanda
shounen no namida
yakusoku ga sotto futari o ano hi no panorama no you ni
yakitsukete

kimi ga naku you na sekai nara donna tsumi nimo te o nobasou
hikari furu regret
kowase never ever heaven's blind world kieta utakata no yume
itsuka mita sora

kimi ga hohoendekureru nara donna batsu demo ukeireyou
akatsuki no blurry sky
ashita ga kuchibue fuitara chiisa na hitomi no oku ni
kagayaita mirai
