idk if any rapper can get some of the best producers in the game to work on their first ever album. Not to mention the fact that Nas was mostly 19-20 when he was working on that album.
DJ Premier! You are my favorite producer & DJ since MANIFEST played on Video Music Box in 1989. It felt so good when the second and third albums dropped and everyone was loving my favorite rapper and dj/producer/ GANG STARR.
Premier is technically additional executive producer for Illmatic. He played quite a role in the making of this giant art piece. To be there on every session and produce 33% of album since it's 9 tracks to be honest. I have never had Dr Dre ahead of Premier, that's my opinion.

The sample in this joint is so ill, I listen to the original in its entirety quite often. Preemo’s ear for that is mind blowing

Above all, Dj Premier appears to be a fucking decent fella. Nothing but positivity, enthusiasm and love. Respect Primo
No disrespect, but I hardly even like the sound of the original… BUT that remix might be in my top five ever! Thank goodness for persistence lol
Primo rescued that song from obscurity
Im glad this version was on the album and not the original. Premier is the best
Classic songs, classic album!
Wow! Didn't know you had mastered and sequenced Illmatic. Your hands always created masterpieces
ARIES!!!
I remember I was a kid banging that on my headphones, the whole album what a blessing from Gangstarr QB. PEACE
Not sure if I’m biased but I’ll stick with the well known version
This is so dope!!! Been watching all non stop

Glad he convinced Nas to use the later version. This is my favorite series on YouTube by the way. Salute to Premo!
Represent was always one of my favs on illmatic
Im glad you stood your ground with going with the remix. It’s my favorite joint on illmatic.
What beat is that playing in the background at 0:22 seconds? Sounds so good
Represent is Top 5 greatest beats ever!
Memory lane is one of my favorite songs since 13 years old. God bless you dj premier
