DJ Greg Street - Dope Boys (Remix) ft. Lupe Fiasco, Wale & Kardinal Offishall
Artist: DJ Greg Street
Featuring: Lupe Fiasco , Wale , Kardinal Offishall
Producer: Don Cannon
Album: DJ Greg Street: Certified
Label: In Greg Street We Trust/Interscope
On June 9, 1992, the legendary duo of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth dropped the hip-hop classic, Mecca and the Soul Brother. On September 30, 2008, Atlanta disc jockey Greg Street, a.k.a. the Voice of the People, will release an Interscope-distributed compilation project, entitled Greg Street: Certified. So what do these two releases, sixteen years apart, have to do with one another? Following in the footsteps of Street’s lead single, the Nappy Roots-helmed Good Day, comes a remixed version of an unreleased Lupe Fiasco track called Dope Boys. Completely unrelated to The Game’s Dope Boyz, the song features reworked production from producer Don Cannon, who used Rock and Smooth’s single They Reminisce Over You, as his foundation. Joining Fiasco (and he reused lyrics) are emcees Wale and Kardinal Offishall.
This song first appeared on the
Rap Chart
on August 25, 2008

This is one of the hottest verses and beats I have heard all year, and I am talking about Lupe's verse. he just keeps on demanding respect with his lyrics and flow. Kardinal was surprisingly impressive also. CLASSIC!

Heard this on Kanye's blog a couple days ago. Shit is fire! You have to appreciate this old school hip hop throwback sound to be considered a true hip hop fan! The trumpet makes this track, and Lupe kills it as well. Although its unfortunate that we probably wont see this making moves mainstream, it is still a classic beat with a classic all star team doin their things. I think soon enough we're gonna see this old school vibe come back into the picture. My prediction is that it will be the next big trend after all these current dance songs fade out. This is a perfect preview for the time being, great job everyone.

I heard this like a week ago and I listened to it like 10 times and I didnt even get tired of it. It got a nice old school laid back beat. Lupe killed it and so did Wale and Kardinal was the perfect finish for the song. Production is amazing! Ne one rating this 3 or less is on crack

I heard Lupe's version about a year or so ago. This is simply an extended version with Wale and Kardinal Offishall. Classic beat is ill. Now, this is some retro hip hop. I like newer school rap cats on that vintage flow . I can appreciate that more than some old head that has been around for ages but never really made a mark talking about how he's so much better than all the new rappers with a song that really won't gain the attention of the new generation. But this right here. Lupe spit the flame, no doubt. Wale & Kardinal did no harm either with their verses. A raw track, enough said.

Reminisce over you! Cl Smooth! This takes me back. One of my all time favorites. Lupe picks up where the song leaves off flowing effortlessly across the beat. Wale Kills it! Kardinal as well.

WOW!!! This is FIRE! Lupe who always tries something different is at home on this old-school hip-hop beat. Kardinal Offishall is a suprise for me on this, but does well. Big Up to all on this track... classic

You're kidding if you don't know the dopeness called Kardinal Offishall. Don't have "Dangerous" be your judge on him, that's one song in what, 6-8 years of work?
