3035112, Remixes
Posted by Anonymous, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
What type of remixes do you prefer most?

When they change the beat?

When they keep the beat and add new verses/new feature?

When they change the beat and add new verses…damn near a whole new song?

Just leave a classic alone?

Watching Premier’s YT series, you see he made remix hear with the original vocals and then had the Janet remix with a new beat and vocals.

Then, you have so many R&B remixes with new beats and the lyrics sang differently.

How many times have Swizz and others reheated the same beat for new/different songs?
3035118, I agree

Two of my favorites are Respiration (Remix) and Street Dreams (Remix) which are basically new songs with the same topic.

Then there are dope remixes like Pete Rock joints for You Can’t Stop The Profit and The Militia where it’s just a new beat. That’s probably the hardest to do.

I think my least favorite are when they just add a new verse like when they redid Bilal’s Fast Lane with a different Jada verse and an added Dre verse.
3035122, I Think They Should Stop Calling Those Remixes

They should retitle those "Part 2" instead of a "remix", but when you think about it, when they do a song with a new beat & lyrics, maybe that should be titled a "Part 2"; isn't that what Mobb Deep did with "Shook Ones" where "Part 2" was a new beat and Prodigy provided new lyrics.



3035123, Saturday's was good

3035124, I think Prince's Gett Off remixes are better than the OG

The feel of that is much more my speed than the original.


Disagree on Gett Off just because I like the original song so much.
The remixes are nice tho... especially the house joint.
3035130, always liked that mustage mix. so smooth.

I like the OG version too, which is slighty different from the version on the album. if I remember correctly.
3035143, Music to ride to for sure

Bought it way back then. Disc came in a cool little foldout cardboard sleeve.
Here's a link to the whole thing:

That picture is what the sleeve looked like.
3035128, My favorite remixes included new verses and a new beat

I don't have a problem with a song with a completely new beat but the same lyrics.

A remix with the same beat but different lyrics just doesn't sit right. That could be because the remixes of the late '80s and early '90s generally only changed the production and not the lyrics.
3035132, For hip-hop, I prefer Green. Red can definitely work especially if...
Posted by mrhood75, Mon Oct-11-21 11:07 AM
...the artist re-records the vocals, even if they're not changing the lyrics.
3035136, Prefer different beat

I know there's some good examples of new verses with the same beat but gimme that new beat/new flip.

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!
