Freeload: DJ Class f. Kanye West, “I’m the Shit (Remix)”
- story THE FADER
We remember hearing rumors sometime around 2003 that the Neptunes were trying to commission Baltimore club remixes for some of their tracks, but never has the mainstream rap world been so interested in B’more club music than in veteran DJ Class’ timeless earthquake that is “I’m the Shit.” First Jermaine Dupri and Trey Songz hopped on it (without actually knowing whose song it was), then Lil Jon recorded an official remix, and now Amber Rose’s boyfriend/stylist Kanye West has marked his territory. Honestly this version is kinda our fave: Kanye is the most convincing singing about how he’s the shit, and Bmore heads will be pumped to hear Yeezy shouting out Unruly extensively. Win-win.

As Crossfaded Bacon points out, this song is the first time Lil Jon has ever actually appeared on a Bmore club track like, not as a sample. Like, this is Lil Jon with his pimp cup and prolly a bag of “oregano” up in the studio, doing his own “yeahs” and making Splack Pack references in a fancy gravel voice over DJ Class’s bananas kick drum and awesome sung verses. This version is def crunkier than the Trey Songz and Jermaine Dupri slumber party remix, though you kinda can’t top the comic value of Dupri’s line “girls look at me like the Jonas’s.”
The point is, the original is dope.
