Posted by no_alias, Thu Jan-12-12 01:42 PM
Most of these I don't "hate" the original, but find the remixes far surperior IMO:

Otha Fish - The Pharcyde (LA Jay Remix)
Remember We - Bush Babees (Salaam Remi Remix)
Get Down - Craig Mack (Q-Tip Remix)
Lyrics - Special Ed (Buckwild Remix)
Mad Izm - Channel Live (Buckwild Remix)
You Can't Stop the Prophet - Jeru the Damaja (Pete Rock Remix)
The Ultimate - Artifacts (both Showbiz and Dilla remixes)
I Got a Love - Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Stress - Organized Konfusion (Extra P Remix)
Resurrection - Common (Extra P Remix)

outside of the 90s

As Serious As Your Life - Four Tet (Dilla remix)
Ether - Nas (9th Wonder remix)
Threat - Jay Z (Kev Brown remix)

all I can think of off the top...

While I wouldn't classify the original as unlistenable, Das EFX's remix of "Microphone Master" w/Mobb Deep was really nice.

The original version is a fairly bland album track, the remix gives Keith the beats his dope rhymes deserves and is one of my all-time favourite rap songs

The remix is legendary.

The original is hard to listen to it's so bad.

In fact a lot of Pete's remixes smoke the original song, especially Fades em all.

One of the greatest remixes of all time, any genre
2652884, the OG is dope, but what Pete did was the impossible
Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Tue Jan-24-12 06:05 PM
he merged his own smooth, refined sound with The Bomb Squad's loud, abrasive million-and-one-samples-in-one-beat style and made it come off like he wasn't even challenged by it
nobody, before or after him, could've done that shit
