"they say" the remix

featuring-the poet
produced by the goat
and guest staring- THE MOTHERFUCKING GRAND RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes it is swwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeet!

■

?uest said Doc is his favorite producer. Maalik B is due for a return, hasn't officially dropped anything (other than that CD Baby ish) since forever. Maybe these two and D and Dilla on the Go Remix? I smell re-issue with bonus disc:

The Corner (Remix w/ Scarface and Mos Def)
The Corner (Last Poet Reprise)
They Say (OG Version w/ Consequence)
They Say (Remix)
The Food (Studio Version)
So Cool
Go (Remix w/ D'Angelo and Dilla)
and that track okpdan said Dilla did and was left off BE, that's gonna be on NBA 2K6.

...but what I really want is a CHI-CITY REMIX with Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, Naledge, Rhymefest, Twista and Bump J!

lifes a bitch,i'll tell u when i'm finished with that mutt..

Black Thought

chat room geeks critique my b-boy fasique...who the FUCK made ya'll hip hop police ?

Common

i'll guess jay-z or 3000 (e. badu connection would eff w/ ppls
heads).

.

I agree ...Comm, Dilla, Lauryn, and I must say Andre for the ufuvit... wut a fucking lineup... and thank God Kanye's verse is off of that shit.

uh ok.

and 3000? what's this the badu posse cut?

> " what's this the badu posse cut?"

 Not even gonna try to there , too easy !!!!

"the poet & the player" aquemini 1998.

where the hell did i put my Questo Decryptor 3000!?!

thats my guess

i said 3

and not no regular return.

i said the GRAND MOTHERFUCKING RETURN.

matter of fact...

we might have to call it

"the pheonix rising" return

D wouldn't be a grand motherfucking return? who the hell is on this shit tupac?

if it "was" him.
being as though the last thing of his was done 6 years ago.
dont let the wonth post fool you.
money aint make shit for half a decade.

if you say its not him its not him, nothing for me to explain.

at least from an OKP's perspective I can;t think of a grander return
than D.

I guess I'm stumped.

EDIT: unless you mean by "grand return" that this person has been
putting shit out, just wack shit. that is instead of just not
putting anything out at all (D).

if D' were to ever surface again it would blow me away.

D' or maybe Gil Scott-Heron (he would be on some phoenix rising, back from the dead type ish)

then again, anything with Com on it is IMO middle of the road at best.

>if it "was" him.
>being as though the last thing of his was done 6 years ago.
>dont let the wonth post fool you.
>money aint make shit for half a decade.

so he hasnt made anything for 5 years?
hmm

OK ?uest:

See man,.....

What about that post you made some time ago advising listeners not to
expect another Voodoo type album from D, and to brush up on all their
funk since the new joints are not gon'' be radio friendly?

What happened?

Now you're saying D aint done jack in over 5 years?

Consider this OKP officially FRUSTRATED.

*continues playing russian roulette in the corner of the room*

!CLICK! "whew....."

you did say GRAND MOTHERFUCKIN RETURN

for most folks here, that's the ultimate grand motherfuckin return

Hmm, I'm sure I remember reading a Questo post stating Dilla was his all timer, coz he can do any style etc. So I think the GOAT will be Dilla.

Grand Return/Pheonix Rising couldn't be Lauryn because she bin returned for a minute now (in some form or another). So I'd go with D.

The Poet must be Com.

I think Bluetiger's got the right line up to fit the "Grand motherfucking return" title.
And wouldn't it be nice.
I think the 6 year hint leans closer to D though Which would be real nice too.

I'll find out whaen it comes out!

Poet is Kweli, Def Poets appearance, I guess it could be Mos
GOAT must be Dilla, can't be Kanye are I'll hate ?uest
grand return should be Jigga, he said no already, then a grand return must be Malik B but that won't happen without it being a Roots record, no clue on the return then

It has to be D-nice!



Your arms are too short to dunk on Jesus!

http://whosnextonline.com/Artist.aspx?ID=189

I'm almost absolutely POSITIVE the grand return is Pharoahe Monch, no album since Internal Affairs - release date 1999, ?uest said 5 or 6 years. I know he did Oh No with Mos Def, so that's less than 5 but that locks up Mos as the poet then. Or you can Nas just because they both were on the WHY remix so prior experience. When we find out, we're all gonna be pissed regardless. GOAT better be Dilla or Premier, but if you going GREATEST I like more and more that HAS to be Primo, he's the legend behind the boards

like 2 years ago

and has done 2 songs with SA-RA Creative Partners, "Fish Fillet" & "Glorious (Remix)"

and has a song with Miri Ben-Ari on the Fantastic 4 soundtrack, "New World Symphony"


by the way, my screenname's lame
http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/KennyFresh/

I get it, it's D'Angelo, but I was only going off of "he hasn't released an album in 6 years", to me that was crying Pharoahe, yeah yeah Voodoo, I'm not hip to R&B singers. I own the Agent Orange 12 inch and I've had New World Symphony produced by Kanye since it came out, to bad their too wack for me to remember

eff it...your all wrong, eff L-boogie, eff D..

V.

the grand return would have to be D'angelo. bc ? knows how much we are waiting for D. so for us D is the ultimate grand return.
the poet: com
GOAT: have no guess

The poet: Kool G Rap
GOAT: Premier
Grand Return: Rakim (although i do agree with the above person that mentioned d'angelo or lauryn hill cuz someone's gotta sing the hook if john legend aint singin it)

this song involves 3 people.

just three.

and since we all know "they say"

then i guess we can guess what the role of the only 3 people on said project would be.

someone to (blank) on the song
someone to (blank) the song
and someone to (blank) the song.


clue.

let's take original song.

who were the main 3 characters on "they say"?

what role would they fit?

only one of the three is on the remix.

(and that should be a given since its HIS song!)

Okay now Im almost Positive on this....

The Poet (Common) to rap on the song
The GOAT (Dilla) to produce the song
The Grand Return (D'Angelo) to sing the song

Damn I was almost sure it would be Lauryn on it after that one post U said you brought up the Lauryn Hill/They Say Remix Idea to Common and he seemed to be down with it. Now Im pretty sure it will be only Common flowing on that track. Unless Lauryn is singing the Hook (Have ya'll heard her voice lately?, WTF!) My vote for the Grand Return is D'Angelo!

You're talking about Consequence, cause Kanye was part of the re-do, even though it is his beat so he was still involved with the original...ah, forget it. So is it a completely different beat, because that's the old school remix, people been using the same beat over the last couple of years and just throwing some featured emcees on it and calling it a remix, i.e. WHY. 15, if you're calling Kanye the GOAT already, I may lose the huge amount of respect I have for your opinions, and they're your opinions. A new beat though, it really only makes sense Dilla takes on producing duties since we got the short end of the stick on Be, the whole 9 to 2 ratio never made any sense to me in the first place besides the Chi-town connect. So we got Common, Dilla, and D'Angelo singing Legend's stuck in your head chorus They Say..., so when's it gonna leak...I mean be released as a CD single so we can all purchase it at our local music supplier???

wow. ok, so is this gonna be like the remix of jesus walks with jesus on there?

i can't seethe label okaying john legend being replaced by d'angelo, in this climate

Com will rhyme
D will sing
9th or Pete Rock to produce

Com's the poet
D is the return
9th or Pete are the greatest of all time

I don't think it's Lauryn because it's not really a grand return. She's done stuff (shows, appearances) on and off over the past few years. D hasn't done anything except catch a case. And as much I respect and sometimes even like Dilla's work, I can't call him the greatest. It's either 9th or Pete.

the way it is meant to be freaked!
no kayne-mess-o

or at least freaked some ahmad jamal shit.

oh man, that's all i really care to know.

peace,

Yo, that Ahmad piano run is THE hottness right!?!? I've been
tryin' to find a cd that includes that track. as of now, my
efforts are fruitless.

I might be full off, but could it be the remix of the Immortal Technique song "Binladen (feat. Mos Def)". The remix had Immortal Technique, Chuck D, and KRS-One. Could be that maybe.

Whoa!! *waves hand over your head* you're not even talking about the same song man.. Quest specifically said it was the They Say Remix..

ahahahahah. I realised that afterwards, I should pay more attention to posts, my bad bro. Sorry. lol.

poet = common

GOAT producer = Dilla

so singer = ...? D or lauryn would be the two logical/obvious choices

my guess would be lauryn because she ain't rap in a while, and most likely she's singing and rapping...

I say...

Common
Dilla
Dylan

Because he spit hot fiyah......I need a life.

Com and Kanye drop verses on the original, and John Legend sings... right?

So maybe It'll be the same structure on the remix... as in the producer will rap on the track, and a singer will do the hook

So poet= Com, Return= d'Angelo... but what producer? lets count the producers that rap and would fit on a track by Common too... Kanye, Hi Tek (Blast), ?uest (You ain't fly), RZA (?), Pharrell. I don't know anymore that would fit on a They SAy Remix... add on

poet - Mos (Def Poetry)

goat - Pete Rock (trying to think like Quest)

grand return - D'Angelo
************************************
so basically it's

Mos, Nas, Kweli or Saul Williams
Primo, Pete Rock or Dre
and
Monch, Rakim, Lauryn, Erykah or D'Angelo


Can't go wrong with any of those...

including common... so com is the poet

Pete Rock, D'Angelo, and Com

The GOAT, as Quest has always maintained is Dilla, and will always be Dilla, so he will be producing the track. The return is either Ms. Hill or Michael fucking Jackson... now THAT would make for Comm going triple Plat... lol.

MALIK-B, Dice Raw and Rahzel!!!!!!

Naw, Com is actually trying to make sales, so D or Lauryn has to be a part of the hype. I say Lauryn, because she can drop a verse as well as a hook. Unless the song is changed for D to sing a verse and do the hook. But Lauryn was just on BET, and she has dropped a wack unplugged album too.

J-Dilla has to be the captain righting this ship, cuz ?uest constantly has viewed Dilla as the GOAT.

My guess would have to be D-Common-Dilla. Dilla's worked with both as well. And of course ?uest would have the inside on this...

Just my 2 cents.

that's my vote!!! has to be!!! can't wait to hear it!!!

GOAT : Dilla
PHOENIX : D'angelo

c'mon ?uest...give us okayplayas a street date

and

everyday

I don't think Quest is going to bestow the title of GOAT to Dilla. Its wishful thinking though and I hope it to be true, because a Primo track is the last thing I want to hear Common and D' on.

Hopefully it ain't stinkin-ass L-Hill....ever since she fronted on that Coke or Nike (i forget now) commercial and Mary did it. She's wack! I like L-Boogie though :-)

At one point I would think the GOAT was Ali Shaheed, but that last album he put out kicked him off that throne....it was garbage.


Hoping its Dilla now...Pete Rock can't produce a D' track, he'd mess it up


"HATER IN THE HOUSE..." Yeah Yeah I know!!!

Where have you been?

There has been countless times when ?uest has reffered to Dilla as the best producer out there.

poet:com
GOAT:dilla or pete rock
return: Stevie? could be interesting...

best producer out there is a little different than best producer of all time...i'd give that premier before i would Dilla but my guess is Dilla is the producer on the track

The phoenix rising, correct?
Out of the ashes, she rose.

Poet = Com
Grand Return = Ms Hill
Goat = Jay

COMMON counts as 1 of the 3, so he is the POET
Dilla produced it
and for the 1,000th time the grand return is NOT LAURYN HILL
it's D'Angelo, Voodoo came out 5 years ago

Read #11. The way ?uest responded doesn't seem like its D'angelo. He put "was". He also didn't seem too enthusiastic about him not making anything in 6 years, almost as if he did make something it would probably be subpar. I could be wrong ofcourse, I haven't read any of the Wonth posts.

I think its Com, Dilla and return of Lauryn Hill. Makes sense to me because the subject matter of the song, alot of people are saying things about Lauryn. Also the whole Block Party thing..they probably talked about it then.

But that would leave a vocalist out for the hook, so unless they kept John Legend's voice as the hook, it very well can be D'.

You do know that Lauryn sings right?!?

She is still very hip-hop oriented. Even though she was kickin a poem, her hand movements were very emceeish and the flow and cadence as well.

But ?uest could be talkin about the return of L-Boogie..aka she's rhymin on the joint. Now that I think about it, I'll be pretty dissapointed if it wasn't Lauryn..lol. Watch it be Bilal..and I love Bilal, but i'm expecting an MC.

Im saying, there may be a chance she is rapping and singing the hook..

Congrats, you got it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

because ?uest obviously knows that she already had her "grand return" on that John Legend remix... whatever it was called... that was all over the radio in 2005.

well.. i am pretty sure that Lauryn's 1st album was 5 years ago also, hence the confusion amongst people here.

unplugged came out in 2002.

ahh u can't go counting that..hahah i hear where you' re coming from, but to me that wasn't even an album, just a live show recorded...in the show she mentions how rough shit still was and that a lot of the songs didn't even have titles.

quest said it wasn't d'angelo at the very top of the post.

Since when are today's remixes actually remixed and not the same beat as the original version? Even The Corner remix was the same beat. Kanye produced the original "They Say" right?There's a different producer this come around.

Instead we rose up from the ash like a phoenix"

Just a thought.

He said he'd do no more albums, but would do songs, which he has consistantly been doing and this is a song, so it wouldn't be a "grand return" of any sorts.

Okay, thru the process of elimination I have figured it to be:

Common
Dilla
Lauryn

BEACAUSE, it has been confirmed by MTV that he is doing the Go Remix with Dilla, and D. Why would he do another remix with the same format? It has to be a slight chang or does it?

But I know that Lauryn Hill is on this song. I would bet my first born second that she is.

Okayplayer has requested she bless the track so why wouldn't it be done?

Wyclef- producer
Lauryn's grand return
not sure about the poet

I dunno about this one


i do hope they do a remix of they say without kanye on it tho

that would be dope, IMO kanye ruined the whole feel of that song

Ms. Hill
Pete Rock
Rakim!

Check Post #77, you'd have to remove Rakim or Ms. Hill from the list. Based on popular opinion, you would remove Rakim from it!

the poet (common)
produced by the goat (marley marl)
featuring the grand return (roxanne shante)

Is this a guess or fact?

I'm all for the old school but who is checkin for Roxanne Shante? Shouldn't she be writing books by now?

"they say" the remix

featuring-the poet-Common
produced by the goat-J Dilla
and guest staring- THE MOTHERFUCKING GRAND RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-D' Angelo

yes it is swwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeet!

i heard that Dilla,D, and Com were doing the remix for "GO" not "They Say." But...if there's a remix for "They Say" it's prolly gunna be Com,Dilla,L.Boogie.

...the world may never know...
!V.I.P!

I mean, think about it-?uesto said the grand motherfuckin return, that's huge, maaaaaybe you think malik's getting his shit together? and the whole idea of 'they say' is people talking shit on electric circus and com claiming that he's back, on the remix- insert a malik b verse about him rising out of his problems, a phoenix rising out the ashes? ooohh wee... but i dont know, maybe im a dreamer.

Makes sense to me...

I guess that would be asking for too much.

The Poet is somebody else... GOAT is not a producer... and The REturn is Common! Because EC was considered.. y'know bad by most ppl cuz it wasn't like REsurrection. So maybe Poet is... D'Angelo? Lauryn Hill? Someone poetic i'm guessing. While The GOAT coud be a rapper a producer or a singer... Rakim? Dilla? singers i dunno

But thats my thoughts on this... Cheers

and
>The REturn is Common! Because EC was considered.. y'know bad
>by most ppl cuz it wasn't like REsurrection.

Uhhhh. Quest helped make that so called "bad album" so i'm guessing that you need to pull out that late pass and step your game up... PEACE

D'Angelo.
at least he dropped something to tantalize the masses until he gets outta rehab.
clean yourself up, brother. the world needs your soul right now.
i'm doing the same.

Rakim or Kane...
Since 2 Pac had been dead (as far as we know) for more then 6 years


But what if it was Rakim, BDK, Krs-1 and Com on the remix?

MY GOSH...

or maybe Lil Zane

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=3&topic_id=59552&mesg_id=59552&page=#59554

So looks like its:

Common
Dilla
D'Angelo

Which is an okayplayer's wet dream!!!

Excuse me ..

Peace

Nij

-D


*cant b Prince...'G.O.A.T.' az a producer? & itz a remix?

Com spittin
D singin' the hook
and PRINCE behind the boards.

HOW SICK WOULD THAT BE?! Ooh...that give me the chills.

■

3 people

dilla
common
d'angelo

simple, done.

■

I'm frustrated.

Damn..

and this post was made over 3 months ago

or has that project been shelved by now? ■

but not sure. DAMMIT WHEN IS THIS GONNA HAPPEN?!

= Big Daddy Kane?

well..it is indeed done.

BE may be the only hip hop record out in which all the jawns may have a video/single.

d sang it
com spit it
and dilla freaked the isley brothers "don't say goodnight"

diggin heads (and me) should be major curious about this:

"dont" is in 12/8 meter. so pretty much i expect some flip action to occur.

com is mad finiky and d seemed excited over the song. so.....

LG wanna shed some light?

the remix was intended for inclusion on the BE special edition, but he recently
said the BE special edition is no longer scheduled for release. maybe the remix
will be a bside for another single from the BE album. ("they say" perhaps?) well
i hope it will get a release soon. im pretty curious to find out how dilla flipped that
jawn and its not like d himself will be releasing something anytime soon. (well
maybe his collabo w/ tip might see a release) ■

percy miracles' line brother:

...re-release have a vid for each track?

>"dont" is in 12/8 meter. so pretty much i expect some flip

if you wanna hear a flip of "don't" check out www.darrlreeves.com/production.htm 1st quarter edition, beat 003

forward to it!

>diggin heads (and me) should be major curious about this:

this is true, but the end of the song has no drums for a while with some dope melody, so he can flip that a lot easier.

I thought BR Gunna did a very excellent job on that chop. Dilla gotta come sick as fuck to impress me.

unlessin' if you classify 50's music as country...
com LOST

Cause I really don't see Common out with a 5 single or video for BE in 06.

Unless they are trying to get some grammy votes on his side.

maybe you are right,,,some exec's want to distance there valued artist from controversy ,,,,,it's a tight song, but do the 04/05 consumer know "Dangelo", these kids really don't know dude, plus the older fans really don't care if he comes back or not. This shit is bigger than Okayplayer when it comes to selling records. So if you put yourself in the shoes of label execs do you think Dangelo could sell records big and chubby with all the drug controversy. Niggas don't care how talented you are, if you are not marketable yo shit will sit on the shelves for years, look at alicia keys and anthony hamilton. Plus "D" record contract is so fucked up that nigga may not see any scrilla off that single if it ever came out. Thats just my personal opinion, i could be totally off the mark with this one. But keep in mind they recorded the single back in the summer here it is going into the 06' that shit still aint hit the daylight. If i was D'angelo i would flood the internet with unreleased shit( that nigga got tons of it) so that folks know that i'm still alive. However that shit will never happen( that nigga is like the scarecrow in the wiz) All that traveling back in forth from coast to coast recording shit that would never see the daylight is usless.

cuz i never heard anything about it...

The song was originally a remix of Go, but since the music, lyrics, and hook are all different, they decided to save it for Com's next album as a new song.

peep all posts with an "OK" next to a "qoolquest" and "15"

I'm confused

Nothin new though...

I need to hear it.

This thead is still goin' like the Energizer Bunny, lol

.

whatever

and where is this joint?

I dunno, but i think u win oldest post to be upped...Don't get me wrong thougn, I've wanted this track since then too.

that the shit ended up being so different that they decided eo use it as an original composition on the next album.

rick

really?

Tarzan
Tonto
Frankenstein

Nice....can you post up for d/l? Or inbox it to me?

I mean if no one cares, if i get it i'll host it for d/l...If not thats fine, but can i just have it for myself, inbox?

HAHAHA
-----------------------------
<--- You got a hope beat?

and relax, peepz!

Just wai til the song comes out!

the best thing you can do....

holla!

check dilla's "the shining"..

but we can't call names out.

D himself don't even know the shit is out.

muahahahahahahahahaha


he was like "you got a ruff of it?"

i'm like "dude its out already?"

"huh??!"

(hand over forehead)

But you know I would love to start hearin this on the radio too, Somebody leak it as a "new" D joint feating Com....

Ohhh you think ya had T.O. Madness

I'm sorry, I copped about 3 albums in the last week, and I didn't have the chance to listen to every one of these albums.

One was the shining, but thx

*ching*

Dilla and Common are a lock.

I think the last is Lauryn because she can
sing and spit a verse. I don't think Com would
be spitting all 3 verses. And the topic "They Say.."
Think about how many places Lauryn can take that,
with everything that has been said about her over
the years. I mean, the woman has been in hiding
because of what "They Say." Its a perfect comeback
concept.
