Broke - Run That Shit

Oh sugar... It's a refit of Gang Starr's seminal track Just To Get A Rep. And refitting a track that classic is about equivalent to trying to give the Mona Lisa a new smile. Risky business.

But Broke nails it: this definitely wins instrumental-of-the-week - I like pianos in hip-hop. But there's no need to get analytical on this: it's just one and a half minutes of gorgeousness. And it's downloadable. Oh yes.

In terms of heritage, the final lines are originally from Funky For You, which was then quoted by Gang Starr.
