2958804, Never heard this. Posted by squeeg, Sun Mar-06-16 12:15 PM That's fucking dope. It doesn't quite work with R Kelly's hook, but it's still nice. I assume it's unreleased. _______________________________ gamblers and masturbators. http://mixcloud.com/urkelmoedee PSN: UrkelMoeDee
2991813, it fits, the melody emphasis moves from the keys to the bass part Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Sun Jun-18-17 08:01 AM in the chorus and the keys take a backseat, so the chorus fits the bass perfectly.

2958764, Das Efx - Jussamen - Pete Rock Remix Posted by spenzalii, Sat Mar-05-16 10:13 PM https://youtu.be/uUha0pSuvfk I believe Pete's remix of Shut Em Down his the greatest remix EVER (and in the running for greatest remix, period), but this runs a pretty close second. That Cal Tjader flip though...

3036209, Meshell Ndegeocello: 'Dred Loc' Posted by Voodoochilde, Fri Jan-07-22 07:07 AM i dig both versions, but the remix has a dash more funk to it, so it squeaks out the win in my book.... remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHOgLUdH9Y8 original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEAzlM0TFwg � have you listened to her stuff? v http://www.meshell.com/site/ https://www.facebook.com/officialmeshell?fref=ts http://www.freemyheart.com RIP David Williams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Williams_(guitarist)
3036212, Prince (multiple ;) Posted by Voodoochilde, Fri Jan-07-22 09:51 AM there are many, most* listed in this link... For the record, i agree with MOST on this list, but not with the order, id switch up my ranking #s. i also 'might' personally swap in one of the multiple "Pop Life" remixes and add it at the back end of the ranks and take out one of the songs thats currently in this list (likely "The Future" which, i honestly dont think i ever remember hearing, so i cant REALLY say how interesting the Future remix 'might' be. will have to track it down and see where i land... but yeah, the Prince remix list has some classic 'must haves' for sure... https://en.apoplife.nl/prince-the-15-best-remixes/

3036254, Kool G Rap & Nas - Fast Life (Norfside remix) Posted by spitfire, Tue Jan-11-22 05:22 AM Salaam Remi killed it on this one, one of my 90s favorites.

3036269, Yea this one is far superior than the OG. Posted by Brew, Tue Jan-11-22 04:26 PM Not even sure why they didn't just scrap the first in favor of this honestly.
3036276, Common put some respect on his name with this remix Posted by micMajestic, Wed Jan-12-22 03:23 PM >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHJVH0XrzPM The first album has enjoyable moments, but objectively it's something that most can do without. This remix was "I'm comfortable now, I got y'all"
3036328, That's correct. I actually watched a good interview with No ID recently .. Posted by Brew, Sun Jan-16-22 12:32 PM ... where he said basically exactly that. He said that they knew things were gonna work out when that remix came out cuz they started getting tons of play and tons of respect. And that's why he shifted gears so dramatically on Resurrection. I think it was his Red Bull Music interview ..
3036261, Fat Joe - Shit is Real (DJ Premier remix) Posted by spitfire, Tue Jan-11-22 02:47 PM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLVD3uMTX7I Preme just did a so wassup on it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0sfrFXjxTo

3036267, Mobb Deep - Survival Of The Fittest Remix (in my opinion anyway) Posted by guru0509, Tue Jan-11-22 03:54 PM the beat is scarier and more haunting with that lady's vocals floating all over it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLNs0BCgt_Q >Inspired by Dana Barros - Check It (DJ Jazzy Jeff's West >Philly Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KLPqsinof4. >Always loved that beat.
3036275, Dead Wrong remix ft. Eminem Posted by micMajestic, Wed Jan-12-22 03:18 PM The first version feels like a demo, Big might have gone back and rewrote that. Em restored the song to respectability on the remix because he was rapping, rapping. His first four bars are the best bars in the song. Of course the subject matter is always going to be what it is, but the remix is better.
3036278, Ghetto Heaven (Soul 2 Soul remix) - Family Stand Posted by Roadblock, Wed Jan-12-22 04:28 PM https://youtu.be/jOn975IVELY Album Version is unrecognizable
3036293, Oh - Geto Heaven (TSOI) by Common is another one, now .. Posted by Brew, Thu Jan-13-22 10:54 AM ... that you mention it. I like the liveliness of the remix far far more, even tho I love both.
