Last month, we introduced readers to Baltimore club chief DJ Class with a remix of his debut single, I’m the Ish.  Featuring verses by Lil’ Jon and Pitbull, the cut got the cold shoulder from many of our regulars (though several praised its dancefloor-packing power).  For those who weren’t convinced the first time around, this latest remix just might do the trick.  Sacrificing a dash of the previously-featured version’s clattering energy for a slightly spacier, synthier feel, Class enlists the help of one of the most potent guest features possible—that’s right, Mr. West is in the spot.  Of course, this isn’t the straight-up emcee Kanye, but rather the club-ready, Autotuned Kanye who’s over his ‘08 Heartbreak and ready to borrow your girlfriend (just for the night, of course).  Is the Louis Vuitton Don’s addition enough to convince the naysayers that this record truly is the ish?  As usual, I’ll leave it for you to decide.  Class’s debut album, Alameda & Coldspring, is scheduled to drop sometime this summer.

This song first appeared on the Top Hip Hop / R&B Chart on April 6, 2009

I like Kanye's verse for sure but the beat and DJ Class are way too repetitive. This is catchy and will be rockin in the clubs but its alright

This remix is decent. Kanye laid down a good verse. The hook was very repetitive but I actually kinda enjoyed it. The production wasn't bad. Overall, this is in rotation. I wouldn't go as far as saying this song is the ish.

Baltimore club music is hard to understand if all you do is listen to music on our site [out of computer speakers]. If you are club bound, however, you learn to have an appreciation for what music like "I'm The Ish" can do to a crowd.

Sidebar: Kanye made this song a hit! Who else? haha

First five seconds, I fell in love with the beat. Class and Kanye go hard on this. This is my type of track. Hope to hear it on 6th Street. And, unlike the people above me, I love the autotone in this track. It just fits. Banger for me.

This song sounds like it is a Kanye track that doesn't make his final cuts. This DJ needs to stick to spinning. Beat ok, voice box annoying. Kanye no better than normal, no worse. I can live without this joint.
