"I don't care who first or who last, I just know y'all better rock this at the drop of a dime, baby," Q-Tip decrees, kicking off the official remix to "Renaissance Rap", the whistle-laden headknocker from The Abstract's deservedly praised return to form, The Renaissance. It's nice to see this track getting the solo love it deserves (it's tacked onto the back half of "Move" on the LP), and especially with such fine guests like longtime Q-Tip affiliate Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, and everyone's favorite enigma, Lil Wayne. Q-Tip's verse is recycled from the original recording, but it hardly matters when you have those aforementioned heavy-hitters sinking their teeth in.The Best Supporting Actor nod here should go to Busta ("When I sniff out you niggas that be hidin' in bushes, 'What's up?'/ And strangle you niggas like poisonous octopuses, 'Shut the fuck up'"), who has been making a concerted effort to smash any and every remix that comes his way. Rae is obviously comfortable hitting the track Wu-Tang attack-style, but the nicest surprise of all is Weezy's appearance. It's not because the verse is a stand-out, necessarily, but because he seemingly has enough respect for his elders to grace us with some cogent bars. (via Kanye)MP3:> Q-Tip [ft. Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, and Lil Wayne]: "Renaissance Rap Remix"[The Renaissance is out now on Universal/Motown]

He never gets enough credit, but Q-Tip is one of the greatest rap producers who has ever lived. Q-Tip was the production mastermind behind a Tribe Called Quest, and that alone should vault him onto the list. And he's also produced a ton of work for other artists over the years. He did "One Love"
