Remix

Remixes come in different varieties. Some remixes just switch the beat up(California Love), and some remixes just turn into a glorified posse cut(Made You Look). What Remixes are vastly superior to their original?

Flava In Ya Ear

Crossroads.

LOL, I knew you would say that, but i don't think there is anyone who would disagree.

Wow...I gotta agree with that

and let me also add:

Ol Dirty Bastard-Brooklyn Zoo
A Tribe Called Quest-Scenario (this one is at least equal to the original...both of them are BANANAS)
LL Cool J-Pink Cookies In A Plastic Bag Getting Crushed By Buildings
LL Cool J-Jingling Baby
Biggie-One More Chance
Public Enemy-Shut 'Em Down
Black Moon-I Gotcha Opin

One More Chance, indeed. The OG can't hold a matchstick to the remix.

Del - Made In America

The b-boy remix is 40 football fields better

"One More Chance, indeed. The OG can't hold a matchstick to the remix."

It's funny, because neither could hold a matchstick to any of Biggie's good tracks.

Not true

that One More Chance (remix) is classic to me....yeah it has an r&b flavor but so what..the shit still bangs..you don't like r&b do you Shaun?? that may explain why your not feeling it!

ATCQ feat. LONS: Scenario- Phife Dawg fucking RIPPED IT!! Both versions are great though. Arguably my fav remix of all time.

Nas feat. R. Kelly: Street Dreams- I like the original too, but the remix has that smooth, laid back feel to it.

Jeru The Damaja- Can't Stop The Prophet: Pete Rock laced him with a KILLER beat!!

Ice Cube feat Das EFX- Check Yo Self: They ripped that Message beat to shreds!

Outkast- Playaz Ball: The video version is much better than the album version IMO.

De La Soul- Buddy: Same as above.

Boogie Down Productions: You Must Learn- ALSO same as above. It sucks that I can't find a copy the the video version beat anywhere.

Black Sheep- Strobelight Honey: I like both versions but the one with the clown/circus beat was BANANAS!

Redman & Method Man- How High: Fly Robins Fly, up up through the sky!!!

Talib Kweli feat. Jay Z, Kanye, Mos Def, and Busta Rhymes- Get By: Kanye spit one of his dopest verses ever on this track.

"Ice Cube feat Das EFX- Check Yo Self: They ripped that Message beat to shreds!"

The original is much better, IMO.

The original Message? yes. The original Check Yo Self? no.

i like the Got Cha Opin OG version much more than the remix, beat is so hard

Not me, I like the smooth beat better and Buck's lyrics were far superior in the remix IMO.

I have to disagree here. The original uncut version had a smoother flow IMO, and it just fit the overall vibe of the song alot better to me.

Indeed, Linker.

I respectively disagree. I loved the remix. The only thing it was missing was Melly Mel saying "It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under"

Really though, don't you think Cube's whole point kind of contradicts The Message? I mean, its whatever with the sample they used, but the vocals would've been way out of place.

I'm with them, though. The remix came off kind of choppy.

the whole ''Still the Joint'' remix album for sugarhill...

Smif N Wessun- Sound Bwoy Bureill and Wrecognize

2Pac- Changes (was originally I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto, both versions are dope though)

MC Lyte- Cold Rock A Party

Outkast- Jazzy Belle

Mobb Deep feat Lil Kim- Quiet Storm

Missy Elliot feat Nelly Furtado- Get Ya Freak On

LL Cool J feat Keith Murray, Prodigy, Foxy Brown & Fat Joe- I Shot Ya

Black Moon- Buck Em Down..Props KJ for mentioning the Jazzy Belle Remix w/Babyface..That's on my Best Of Outkast playlist on the Ipod. I also agree with you on the Get By remix.


Scenario eventhough I like versions
The Simon Says remix is ridiculous but I also like the original
Buddy, I like both versions
Flava In Ya Ear, the remix by a landslide

I'll use some of the choices already selected, respectively.

Craig Mack- Flava In Ya Ear
LL Cool J- I Shot Ya
LL Cool J- Jingling Baby
Black Moon- I Got Ya Opin
ATCQ- Scenario
De La Soul- Buddy
