If Rakim, KRS One and Nas were to do a song together over a Rick Rubin beat...

...what genius would be compelled to add Kanye West to this recipe?


A variety of Hip-Hop legends and athletes will gather in New York this weekend to celebrate the 25th year anniversary of Nike's Air Force 1 sneaker.

Nike will host an invite-only celebration this Sunday (Dec. 10) in New York.

During the celebration, rappers Kanye West, Nas, Rakim and KRS-One will unveil and perform a new, Rick Rubin-produced original song, dedicated to the sneaker.

Rubin is well known for his wide range of hit productions, which include another sneaker anthem, Run-DMC's 1986 smash single, "My Adidas."

Guests expected to attend include Dave Chappelle, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Rihanna, Queen Latifah, Spike Lee, Moses Malone, Usher, Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J and others.

The Air Force 1 sneaker has become a staple of fashion in the Hip-Hop community and has been the topic of several songs, including Nelly's No. 1 hit, "Air Force One's."

The sneaker was created in 1982 and has remained one of Nike's top selling shoes for over two decades.

I don't know if I should like Rick Rubin or not. He confuses me.

[mickill]

Rick Rubin is responsible for producing RUN DMC's RAISING HELL. You should like him.

Rick Rubin is responsible for producing RUN DMC's RAISING HELL. You should like him.


he is responsible for many rap classics, beastie boys, run dmc, public enemy, ll cool j, pretty much everything early def jam, (was he involved with slick rick's 1st def jam album?:confused: )

thats 1 of the reasons why i'm hyped up for this

[Genocide Tulips]

That's the thing, but then I hear stuff which I don't like. I can't name it off right now since I'm a bit bleh, but overall I like him. And it may not even be his fault that I may dislike something that he produced. His stuff with Cash left me feeling disgusted. Too emo for me.

[mickill]

He was co-founder of Def Jam. He executive produced the first PE album, produced the first LL Cool J and Beastie albums and may or may not have played a part on Slick Rick's first album, but he did produce most of the early singles.

I liked a lot of the Cash stuff.

[Genocide Tulips]

there were a few good Cash songs, but overall was unsatisfactory for me. I do have to give Rubin a lot of credit for the stuff he has done. There is respect for him, but he does leave me confused. I might as well just say I like his shit since majority of it I do.

[mickill]

There, that wasn't so hard.

[Genocide Tulips]

No, it sure wasn't, Mister!

[roosta]

99 problems!

[Genocide Tulips]

And a bitch is one...

[mickill]

HIT ME!

[roosta]

Oh wait, can I take that back?

[ggirlballa]

i'm excited that KRS is going to be on this, he truly is a teacher, and kanye kinda kills the vibe but still i kinda like the guy but his ego is annoying:rolleyes:

[Brother McDuff]

[DeeJayZap]

[Kid Presentable]

And Sweet Thing. iiiiight

[Otis Driftwood]

That's the thing, but then I hear stuff which I don't like. I can't name it off right now since I'm a bit bleh, but overall I like him.
Yeah, I got that impression to when I read "Pauls Boutique". Didn't he like not wanna let them go to a different label or somesuch´?

[Lex Diamonds]

Kanye really pisses me off. He's a strange delusional gnome-like Jay-Z wannabe.

He thinks he's Jesus Christ when he's actually more like Jesus from The Big Lebowski.

NOBODY FUCKS WITH JESUS! :cool:

[Kid Presentable]

Watch the interview on Late Orchestration, and it's pretty clear Kanye has at least thought about being a homosexual. Not that it bothers me, but SOHH would bug.
