The Remix: Beat Steady Knockin’

this video and song epitomizes partying and having a good time. Yes, I know it was not included in the last post. I had my reasons, lol.  I remember when this video came out I was pointing out my favorite R&B singers one after one and in addition to the other cameos–I wanted to be there!!! Can you imagine? partying with these people. I know its just a video but what can I say, I feel like I was born too late. lol.

Anyway, I wanted to touch on a few more of my favorite remixes that are guaranteed party anthems.  I will admit many of these are what I feel is wrong with remixes these days–same song just adding people/verses–I like these strictly for their hypeness. There is no time/era limit on these, so don’t beat me up in the comments about leaving anything out! These are MY favorite party jams.

Drop it Like its Hot remix ~ Snoop ft. Pharrell & Jay -Z. yall know it wouldnt be right if I didn’t start with the Hov feature. Neptunes production, this was a good spin on the track.

Down For My N’!ggas remix ~ C-Murder ft.  Magic & Snoop. this a stroll classic. heard on college campuses everywhere since it came out. #shoutout to the Kappas in the video! lol

Whoa remix ~ Black Rob ft. everyone*. Rah Digga set this one off right! reminds me of my freshman year of college.

*if its more than 2 additional people on the track, I’m calling it everyone cuz I aint got that kinda time to name all those people. sorry*

Hood N!gga remix ~ Gorilla Zoe ft. everyone. Uhm. Excuse me while my inner thug emerges, and then I hit my ghetto girl twerk. its not a game when this song comes on. My boo Jeezy tho…

Pretty Girls remix ~ Wale ft. Chris Brown & Fabolous. I don’t even listen to the original with Gucci. I mean, its Gucci. I felt like the Delta references were pretty wack (the AKAs got the best shine, eh, I guess.) but Loso’s verse is one of my faves, I thought it was pretty good wordplay.

I Get Money remix ~ 50 Cent ft. Ludacris  I remember there was a time I used to club in ATL and every time “I Get Money” came on I would lose my mind. I didn’t particularly care for the “Forbes 1,2,3 remix”–but Luda is always good for a verse in my book.

We Fly High (Ballin) remix ~ Jim Jones ft. everyone.  Do yall remember when this song came out? Everyone in the club would go nuts. Ya’ll know I can do without Birdman, always but there he is  anyway…

I’m a Hustler remix ~ Cassidy ft. MJB. This was a classic Swizzy joint for me. On the original they snippet the remix at the end, and I must say I was looking forward to the full song. I for one appreciated MJB with her lil flow.

Quiet Storm remix ~ Mobb Deep ft. Lil Kim. one of Kim’s hardest verses. I was recently told Havoc wrote it, which made me sad, but I don’t care. it still is executed well. I still know all the words.

Throw Some D’s remix ~ Rich Boy ft. Andre 3000 and everyone else. This is one of my favorite 3 Stacks verses. I mean… forget Rich Boy I listen to this song for Andre and Andre only. Rich Boy doesn’t even come in until the end. I have to admit the original was a banger but that 3000 verse just cancels out everything else. I can see the story he’s telling in my mind every time I hear it. DOPE. I kinda check out after him, but the beat still goes hard so its whatever. Loved the DeBarge sample.

Dey Know remix ~ Shawty Lo ft. everyone. another hood banger. Where is Shawty Lo? who cares this one goes in, and of course Jeezy and Luda show out in typical fashion. You can’t really dance to this song, but it is crunk in the club. “big ups to all my haters!!!!”

Two Step remix ~ DJ Unk ft. T-Pain, Jim Jones & E-40. Please don’t judge me for this one. but I loved this song. especially *whispers* T Pain’s part. This used to go so hard in the club!!! “take your left foot, put it out in the front and do it uhhhhhhh like this” LOL  *gets jiggy with it*

Throw it in the bag remix ~ Fabolous ft. The Dream & Drake. Loved the original song,  but then they freaked the “Fancy” sample and added Drake and its officially a wrap for that, I only listen to the remix. “since she’s such a boss bitch, she could hire who she wants. she could help me blow this green, she the fire to my blunt. you can try her if you want but its gon’ cost you…”

and lastly…

Wipe Me Down remix ~ Boosie  ft. Foxx & Webbie. I still love this song more than words can express. judge me!!!
