Classic (Better Than I’ve Ever Been) (DJ Premier Remix) Lyrics » Kanye West
[Produced by DJ Premier]
[Hook]
And now for my next number I’d like to return to the…
[Nas] Classic
[Kanye West] Uh, uh, – timeless
[Kool G Rap] Live straight classic
[Nas] Classic
[Kool G Rap] Live, straight classic
[Kanye West]
Timeless
[Sample]
I’d like to return to the classic
[Rakim] Kanye West
[Rakim Sample]
I’m Rakim, the fiend of a microphone
[Rakim] Uh, yeah
[Verse 1: Rakim]
Is y’all ready for 20-07? It’s now another drought
Everybody’s a killer, wow, we buggin’ out
Since ’86 showin’ the crowd what I’m about
And they still wanna know when the album comin’ out
Ask the teenagers, OG’s and nasty kids (Go ‘head)
What their definition of “Classic” is
Timeless, so age don’t count in the booth
When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth
Ain’t no doubtin’ the truth, I’m off the meters
Everybody cosignin’, even non-believers
Since I came in the door, became one of y’alls leaders
In a fresh pair of Air Force One sneakers
Uptowns, we call ’em uppies when they’re on divas
Probably worn when KRS-One teaches
Nas made you look before the heaters
I bet you Kan’ had ’em on when he walked with Jesus

Rick Rubin
did the original, and word on the street is they weren’t satisfied with the outcome. It was a whole different tempo, and a whole different approach.
Rob Stone
said they might actually want to remix it. Actually, KRS-One called me and said, ‘Yo, I need you to help fix this record.’ Then I saw the launch on MTV, and I figured that’s over with, when they launch the sneaker and everything. Then all of a sudden I got a call back again two or three weeks later saying, ‘Yo, they still want you to do something.’ So they sent me the parts, and everything was different. Kanye, Nas, and KRS did the joint to the Rick Rubin beat. Rakim wanted to make his own beat. So he made his own beat, but at the wrong tempo. So when I got it I had to tweak it to get him to that tempo, but still keep him in the same tone of voice. You can do that with technology. So I had to keep him in the same key. He was at a 100 rpm, but it was 107, so that’s a big step. So I stay tuned in the same zero note that he pulled, sped it up, and it matched. Then I just pieced the whole thing together.
“For the video, Rakim came here, and we turned all the lights down, and just made it really dark. Since he’s the only one who came here, when you see the play back, it’s ill. We shot him just with the acapella so we can bring him back in. When I saw that, even though Rakim was last on the song, in the video, I thought he should go first. And that’s how we flipped it around. The video was dope, man.
