Aside from the performances themselves, what I love about Kanye West’s 2007 single, “Classic (Better Than I’ve Ever Been),” where he invites Nas, KRS-One, and Rakim to join him in the cipher, is that, though guests, they all spank him, like a child, on his own record.
As it’s been often said, don’t send a boy in to do a man’s job.

Ooooh. I agree with your lyrical assessment, but do I detect some Kanye haterism? Granted he is not on the level of those cats but he does have his moments.
“George Bush doesn’t care about black people!”
You gotta give him a pass for that alone:)
This is a hip-hop version of Voltron or Devastator. Feel me, my fellow 80’s child.
