Nas - It Was Written 25th Anniversary Mix Vol.1 (DJ Filthy Rich)

The Best Of Gangstarr (R.I.P. Guru)

This mix is all about education. What you have in this mix are some of my favorite hip-hop records (well, Alicia Keys isn't really hip-hop, but whatever, Kanye did his thing on that track) paired back-to-back with their original samples. Uncovering original samples and mixing them with their hip-hop counterparts is something I've been obsessed with for a while. This is what I originally intended to do on my radio show on WNYU, but I ended up just playing strictly original jazz, funk, and soul tracks that have been sampled over the years. Some of these joints you'll probably recognize, and some you may not. But, at the end of the day, hopefully, it will open your eyes on how some of the illest producers in the game can re-create and flip great, and sometimes mediocre tracks, into some amazing and timeless hip-hop. Enjoy.

lyrics:
Ay ay ay

Ta lloviendo demasiado
Papá dios yo lo amo, me ha sacado
De cajas, en k yo estuve
Tenia ganas de morir !

Por mis pai, esque yo sigo
En el piso sin dinero, yo no puedo estar así
To mi panas, si me dicen
Na' se hace limpio
Y uno nunca pide!

Mira pasame, esa bolsa
Tengo lo k yede
Compro por el kilo

Me cortaba como filo
Con ella no sé pudo
Tanto fue, me quito el brillo!

Ay im really not into the fighting
I don't get it , i just wanted you to stop playing them games

Im not a fan of all the bashing
I don't get it
But fuck it, ill roll up then forget it anyways

Te agradezco lo k hiciste
Me cambió toda la forma
Ahora en el estudio siendo horas

Ahora tengo otra jeva
Mas bella no igual
En la cama, me la como en total

Ay, yo te regreso la luz
A mi manera, yo te hago mi boo
A mi manera
Yo te enamoro
Se desespera
Cuando quito mi lo'
Woah
Fuck
Yeah!
Mami hágame el favor, de enseñarme lo k tienes
Hace rato, yo te quiero aquí encima
Ella me causa un dolor, k me domina

High as fuck im feelin super
Man, these niggas think this blunt gon make me stupid!?
Trevor said i couldn't do it
But i make more money than him!
I've been fighting, for my life
All alone like where you been at!?

Yuh!
Im just stacking all my cheddar
She got a fatty baby spin dat!

Ta lloviendo demasiado
Papá dios yo lo amo, me ha sacado
De cajas, en k yo estuve
Tenia ganas de morir !

Por mis pai, esque yo sigo
En el piso sin dinero, yo no puedo estar así
To mi panas, si me dicen
Na' se hace limpio
Y uno nunca pide!

Mira pasame, esa bolsa
Tengo lo k yede
Compro por el kilo

Me cortaba como filo
Con ella no sé pudo
Tanto fue, me quito el brillo!

limpio pero sucio…

DJ Premier’s catalog is incredible. If he was only known for his work with Gangstarr, he’d still be considered a Top 3 producer of all time, easily. But the fact that he’s worked with everyone from Biggie to Jay-Z to Nas to KRS-One makes his discography pretty much incomparable. And we’re not talking about obscure cuts that lost their appeal years ago. These are timeless songs! So for today’s edition of The 10s, we present Primo Treats: 10 Classic Non-Gangstarr Primo Joints. We’ll probably have to do a part two and three to this because dude has worked with everyone we love and always comes correct. All praises due to DJ Premier, thank you for all the music you’ve given us. It’s our pleasure to celebrate the work you’ve put in. I guess right now we should start the show.
