Perfect rap song. The only way it could've been improved is if the stars had aligned and Large Pro had hooked up this beat for Nas (let me find out Nas turned it down).

clean version with better production than the album version


beat remix different from album version




a remix with guest rappers and the original artist throws in a new verse,
with no recycled verses from the original version


a remix where the beat changes every 8 bars, rapping over previously released beats


new beat, new rappers, different hook, no recycled verses, how is this related to the original version anyhow?


new beat, original verses, but vocals and overall cadence changed for the new beat


cross genre remix







the dj shadow remix that even confused dj shadow


let's turn a mediocre ice cube single into a somewhat better noreaga track

The regular version with Juvenile, Skip & Wacko which blew up is technically a remix because the original version was a Wacko song from some random obscure compilation:

Wacko - Nolia Clap



And speaking of UTP + songs from obscure random compilations:

C-Nile w/ Juvenile & Skip - U Know Me remix



Much like the Wipe Me Down remix, this turned a decent solo track into a killer posse cut via 2 guest verses and a slight rejig of the beat.

One remix from back in the day I remember going nuts for as a teen: the Style Wars remix by Masta Ace. I remember one time when Ace was a guest at a radio show in my neighborhood and I called up to ask where I could get it, because I didn't realize it was a b-side at the time. Still got it on vinyl to this day.

I swear I've never heard this opinion anywhere. I was under the impression it was universally derided and rightly so. It's awful.

oh wow that's the version i was most familiar with, had no idea it was wacko solo. i'm stupid.

never heard this before. og was one of my favorites off straight up sewaside. different vibe, doesn't match the original, but still dope.

makes me think of the premier bone remix



and speaking of, here's some rare shit i cant find in CDQ or wax anywhere.



altered hook with background chant vocals, and total beat switch for a few bars around 3:30


i think the Dr. Dre 11 minute "Let Me Ride" remix is the only rap song to have a 3 minute long guitar solo bridge.
https://vimeo.com/84503380" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

i feel like between early Death Row (91-94 or so) with Dr. Dre putting all sorts of alternate extended remixes on his 12"s,
and early Sir MixALot (86-88) also doing lots of remixes of his own tracks, you had some really prolific stuff going on.
you'd have 5 versions of the same song, and nowadays a remix for a single is hard to come by.

Another song which was a remix but wasn't billed as such was this:

Young Bleed w/ Master P & C-Loc - How Ya Do Dat



Classic but the O.G version is better:

Young Bleed - A Fool



Beats By The Pound shoulda never been allowed to mess with Happy Perez's beat
