Rick Rubin strikes again...hard!

[Brother McDuff]

I'm sure y'all read about the new hip-hop track that Rick Rubin produced for Nike recently, featuring KRS-One, Nas, Kanye, and supposedly Rakim. Well, If you ain't heard it yet, get ready to cream your jeans. Super-ill beat, up to par with the 99 Problems remix. Lyrics are so-so, and Rakim isn't in this version, despite what other sources claim. Oh well, it definitely made my day, and probly tomorrow, and the next day, and, well..............

Hopefully this link will last... If you scroll through the daily news you'll find a link to it, plus a DJ Premier remix a little further down..

Anyone have an MP3?

[roosta]

i was very unimpressed by that beat....dissapointing.

primo's remix is better.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

The beat is no 99 Problems, but it's definitely above average. KRS' verse was excellent.

[pshabi]

That whole track was trash. Beat was terrible. Flows were terrible by all of them, because of the boring ass beat. That hook was gay.

how long have you all been deaf for?

[afronaut]

Nike, like the shoe? or is nike some kind of crazy hip hop slang you kids are using these days?

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

I'm pretty sure it's the shoe, son.

Probably some promo song for an awards show, or commercial.

However it got here, cool. It's a good track, and my hearing is fine Mc...

[ggirlballa]

i saw that song being performed on MTV when MTV2 aired the Nike anniversary special that took place in New York a while ago

still its nice to hear how it sounds like without the audience, cuz the crowd's noise kinda drowned the beat away

[chromium05]

That Rubin version sounds totally horrid.

The Primo rmx would have been cool if it was out in 1995. That's right where it belongs - 12 years ago. If that was the brief then cool. If not - it sucks.

Big time.

[Brother McDuff]

ouch. i'm hella surprised with the reactions to this song. i think its totally refreshing, beat-wise. i can see some hating on the lyrical tip, nunna these cats really represent, but Rubin really dropped an anthem with it, if you ask me. i could listen to this beat all day.

[Kid Presentable]

Yuck.

[afronaut]

wow, that was really....plodding.

[checkyourprez]

i liked the primo mix a little better but i thought they were both good.

[cubsfirstplace]

very nice!! (y) (y) (y)

[Mr Films]

i listened a couple of times

it kinda sucks
