No matter what era of Kanye West you favor, there's no denying that "Spaceship" off his debut album The College Dropout is a stone-cold classic. Today, Consequence has revisited the soul-sampling record he guested on in 2004, launching "Spaceship III." In case you're unfamiliar, Chicago rapper Alex Wiley made a track called "Spaceship II" which featured Chance The Rapper and GLC, the latter of which also featured on the original.

Consequence was such a fan of What Alex did with the track, that he's released a new version of the record, adding a verse of his own. It's a must-listen for anyone who bumped the original back in 2004 or fell in love with it in the years since.

Quotable Lyrics:
Lil' college dropout, blame it on Ye'
Lil' Jimmy done grown up, he's slangin' them tapes
Southside, out West, South By Southwest
Doubt my prowess, I guess 'bout now I'm fresh
Goodness gracious,
Visionary chasing, Chance with a space and The
Then a pronoun, and the car spacious,
And a spaceship for the spaceship like IGH!
