2592223, 1990's: Original song/Album version VS The Remix Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Aug-25-11 06:12 PM
Let's do somethin just to see how we all feel about diff songs. Post a song and the remix/video version (preferably with music links) and vote on which one you like more.
Try to pick songs with different beats and even lyrics if possible, since remixes back then tended to be completely different songs. Some might be given like "Flava in ya ear" but you can still post it.
R&B songs count too...so let's go

2592236, Snoop "Murder Was the Case" Posted by Brew, Thu Aug-25-11 06:40 PM
This one only had different beats but I thought it worthy of a vote anyway. I liked both beats but I prefer the Doggystyle version:
Original/Doggystyle album version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC2OpFMBReg
Murder Was the Case album soundtrack/remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QShkP_ZynfU
|
2592242, Ahhh!!!! Hell yeah....ummmmmmmmm.............................. Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Aug-25-11 06:47 PM
The main thing I like more about the original is the drums (which are basically Dre Day) and that Church-style breakdown behind "Now I lay me down to sleep"....those chords were KIIIIIIIIIILLIN. The 2nd one sounds a lot more eerie and goes with the theme more.
Ehh.....ummm.............fuckit Original for that breakdown alone LOL
|
2592246, Yea man I hear you about the chords during the breakdown... Posted by Brew, Thu Aug-25-11 06:58 PM
shit was dope.
But yea you're right, the remix beat was eerie and def fit with the theme more. I love them both, the original just slightly more. And you're on the same page as me, it's cause of the drums...which I also just recently found out (on here, I think actually) were the same exact drums as Dre Day.

2592253, Brand Nubian - "Love Me Or Leave Me Alone" Album version vs Remix version Posted by Shirkophobe, Thu Aug-25-11 07:35 PM
Always loved the remix version. It's one of my all-time favorite remixes.
Original: http://youtu.be/fT-PsGkRpUo

2592285, Remix is nice, but I choose the album version. Posted by Mageddon, Thu Aug-25-11 08:12 PM

2592255, Brand Nubian - Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down Posted by Mageddon, Thu Aug-25-11 07:40 PM
12" Version Dirty http://youtu.be/CJ9PpQ3GUbA
12" Version Clean http://youtu.be/NFp4cdH80qI
12" Remix http://youtu.be/0GDX0tXQLGk
Album Version http://youtu.be/-kyQaAg4_rk
12" Dirty wins for me. When I heard the album version, I was PISSED. I don't think I've ever listened to it in its entirety since.
Of course the differences in the first two are minor, but I liked the way how Sadat delivered his lines better in the dirty version.

2592256, Casual - "That's How It Is" Album version vs Remix version Posted by Shirkophobe, Thu Aug-25-11 07:41 PM

2592257, I'm in the minority here Posted by Mageddon, Thu Aug-25-11 07:43 PM
I liked the album version better, specifically the video version that had the dope sound to edit out the curses.

UK Mix errr...can't find a link.
Straight Pass is one of my favorite Hip Hop tracks of all time. Ms. Mojica was nice addition to the track, and though the story is still the same, the mood is lifted here, and the track becomes more hopeful.

Switching up to R&B, both of these are the flat out JAMS. Puffy got his "Let me steal DJ Ron G's style" on for the remix, and it won. It's ill that there were two different vids for this one.
