About The Classics:
The Classics is the Grand Theft Auto soundtrack's "golden age" hip hop station, educating Liberty City about the classic old school hip hop. The golden age of hip hop is by some considered to be late 1980s and early 1990s period (all of the songs on this station are from the years 1984-1995). This radio station also only features artists linked to the East Coast, with most of the artists being New York based.
The radio station's DJ, DJ Premier (voiced by himself, Chris Martin), is one of the two member group Gang Starr, whose song "Who's Gonna Take The Weight" is featured on this radio station soundtrack. DJ Premier, who is also known for his work as a record producer and DJ, is based in New York. He has produced a number of the tracks that appear on this radio station.
