Calling All Fans of Senior Citizen Rap

Q-Tip – “Renaissance Rap” Remix (Ft. Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, & Lil Wayne)

What do Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes have in common? For starters, they both hold the same “person” responsible for hip-hop’s demise. Whatever that means. More importantly, they’re senior citizen rappers who have managed to stay relevant without resorting to brainless gimmicks. So, drink to this, Internets, and keep senior citizen rappers from going extinct.

PS: Some might think that the presence of Lil Wayne on a song alongside three rap elder statesmen symbolizes a passing of the torch from one generation to another. You’re dead wrong. Master Wayne agreed to appear on the “Renaissance Rap” remix so as to acknowledge a few of the lyricists he has influenced over the years. Carry on.

PPS: How weird is it that Megaupload generated the following verification code while I was downloading this song: “A-S-S”?

Hol up. Busta no gimmicks? What will you say then to his most recent drug-lord-thugged-out persona?

Gimmick? Yes. Brainless gimmick? No.

yo riz im glad SOMEONE has finally given weezy his props for influencing 99% of rappers in the game. Everyone knows that Juice Crew bit wayne’s style, and big daddy kane pretty much stole wayne’s whole flow. so many hip hop fans are ignorant these days

Ha! Rizoh, you managed to cop a better flick of Bus and Tip than I did from the same show for my remix post!
