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.

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.

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.
