Dj Kay Slay Living Legend (ft. Jadakiss, Queen Latifah & Bun B)

If you don’t remember the guttural cries of Kay Slay’s calling card — “THE DRAMA KING!” — you missed out on a special time in hip-hop’s mixtape era. DJs played an integral role as both tastemakers and curators, with names like the aforementioned Kay Slay, DJ Clue, DJ Envy, DJ Whoo Kid, and DJ Green Lantern all playing their part in setting the scene ablaze. Now, Kay Slay has come through with a new perspective, that of a “Living Legend.” As such, he’s slammed the OG signal and before long Jadakiss, Queen Latifah, and Bun B came running.

Within the opening moments, DJ Kay Slay’s iconic tag proves he’s still on the grind. “It started first with the dope, I earned all my stripes, I put in work with the GOATS,” spits Jadakiss, in the opening verse. “I turned to the mic, went berserk with the quotes, I wrestled with the flow to every verse and the yoke.” In what might be the biggest highlight, Queen Latifah comes through with a welcome reminder of how she built up her empire: spitting bars. “Been around the world like Nat Geo, but still hood, so please don’t make me bring back Cleo,” she spits, alluding to her iconic role in Set It Off.

Leave it to Bun B to close this one out with a bang, and the UGK icon does exactly that. “Me and Pimp put it down in the rap game,” he raps, calling back to his late rhyming partner. “Been Gold and Platinum plaques, no cap, mane.” In short, “Living Legend” is a homage to the golden era and those who helped establish hip-hop into what it is today. For that, it’s worth a listen.

Lyrics

[Intro: DJ Kay Slay]
Livin’ legend
DJ Kay Slay, the Drama King
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend

[Verse 1: Jadakiss]
It started first with the dope
I earned all my stripes, I put in work with the GOATS
I turned to the mic, went berserk with the quotes
I wrestled with the flow to every verse and the yoke
Now my name ringin’, they wanna hear Jada
Still on fire 20 years later
Shit kinda different, they lie for a buzz
Don’t wait ’til I die to recognize what I was
Listen and learn, I went to class after Biggie
A verse from me’ll get you a pass in the city
You doin’ that dance, you went to class after Shiggy
I’m in good shape, I’m still blastin’ the Ciggy
Stamp of approval, good on this side
Another nigga shot down, good ol’ fish fry
Chosen terror just speakin’ from the Golden Era
And I’ll forever be a Livin’ legend
What?

[Chorus]
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend

[Verse 2: Queen Latifah]
Bow down to greatness, no handshake
Me and Kay Slay helped shape the landscape
Speak my language, I know you can’t wait
But first, over 62 movie credits to translate
They just talk the game, I turn midnight strolls to The Walk of Fame
Oscars, Grammys, I built the ground that you walk on
I taught you how to tilt your crown, come on
Emmys and Golden Globes before you blink, love
I done won every award you could think of
I set it off with Jada, without a doubt
Even in Chicago, I was bringin’ down the house (Ha ha ha)
I been around the world like Nat Geo
But still hood, so please don’t make me bring back Cleo, oh no
I use my pen as a weapon
Ain’t no second guessin’ how I became a

[Chorus: Bun B]
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
Yeah, what up, Slay?
Livin’ legend
Legends only on this one, baby
Livin’ legend
Gotta be official for this motherfucker
Know what I’m sayin’?
Livin’ legend

[Verse 3: Bun B]
Bun B, Triple OG and then some
Some of y’all strivin’ to be a legend, I been one
Jumped off the porch in the 90s (In the 90s)
Now it’s 2020 and it still ain’t hard to find me (Hard to find me)
Me and Pimp put it down in the rap game
Been Gold and Platinum plaques, no cap, mane
Number one debuts on the Billboard
With a reputation motherfuckers would kill for
We would [?] whatever we had to to get it done (Done)
And if we did a song with you, it’s your biggest one (One)
Don’t believe me? Then you can ask Hova or Three 6 Mafia, we fucked the game over
The Trill shit took over the whole nation
BET awards and Grammy nominations
And still kept it 100 with the hood
Do the same and you could be a

[Chorus]
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
Livin’ legend
