Nas' longtime collaborator Salaam Remi produced 'Legendary' and also co-produced the film. Aside from his musical work with artists like Amy Winehouse, Ciara and Jazmine Sullivan, Remi's movie soundtrack credits include tracks for the films 'Sex and the City,' 'Rush Hour 3,' and 'Blood Diamond,' "For me, it's all routine, " Remi said in an interview. "Musically, I'm able to expand because I'm working with brilliant writers. They say things that are provocative, eyebrow rising, and everything else. So it gives me a chance to do the same."
This isn't the first time the Academy has rewarded hip-hop songs. In 2002 rapper Eminem won an Oscar for 'Lose Yourself,' from the movie '8 Mile;' while Three 6 Mafia took home a golden statue for the track 'Hard Out Here For A Pimp,' which appeared in the movie 'Hustle and Flow.'
