"Jay Sean - Stay" (Remix) (Video)

Here Is An Official Remix To Jay Sean's Current Single - Stay, Officially Know As The Boy Better Know Remix.

This mix features Frisco, Skepta, Jammer & UK wonder boy Chipmunk, the latter does an amazing job with this track. Jay's original track was solid, but this remix is more like a totally different song, still I can't get enough of it.



Jay Sean - Stay (Remix)

The video for the track is pretty standard for the UK scene, it has that Grime feel to it, but it's not 'tacky' at all, so I'm feeling it. I hope this version gets sent to radio as it shows off some real UK Grime talent that doesn't get enough mainstream exposure.

"Lil Mama - A Milli" (Freestyle)

Wonder Kid Lil Mama Stopped By 106 & Park Recently, While There, She Pumped Out This Huge Freestyle Rendition Of Lil Wayne's A Milli (His Next Single).



Lil Mama - A Milli

No matter how many artists jump on this beat, I still love it more & more. This version is most definitely one of the best, not as unexpected a Ne-Yo's performance, but still a massive effort. If this truly is a Freestyle, then this girl is a true talent. She killed it!

"Ne-Yo - A Milli" (Remix) (Video)

Everyone & Their Cat Is Jumping On Bangladesh's Ish Hot Beat For Lil Wayne's - A Milli. Here Is The Official Video For Ne-Yo's Effort.

I know what your laughing at, Ne-Yo doing a freestyle? Well you may be about to eat your words... or laughter. I was honestly surprised to see this video & even more surprised when I realised Ne-Yo does a real good job.


Ne-Yo - A Milli

The video is really slick, I like the 'street' feel to it, it's cool to see Ne-Yo finally have some attitude, I have never seen this competitive side to him & I think he should be creative like this more often. I'm not saying he beats Lil Wayne because I'm not a moron, however, I was truly impressed.

"Alicia Keys ft. LL Cool J - Teenage Love Affair" (Remix)

Here Is The Official Remix To Alicia Keys' New Single - Teenage Love Affair. It Features Veteran Rapper LL Cool J.


Swizz Beatz, who is responsible for the mixing on the track, has actually thought about it well, as it has been mixed with Slick Rick's - Teenage Love. Nice touch. I'm not sure about slowing the tempo that much, or the splits in Alicia's original vocals, still, it works pretty well.

I've never really been a huge fan of LL Cool J, I don't quite understand what he does well? He has never appealed to me as a rapper, & his acting skills are definitely questionable. However, I'm not here to hate, so let's just enjoy the easy listening tracks that he is pumping out at the moment.

"Mariah Carey ft. T.I - I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" (Remix)

Mariah Carey Returns With The Third Single From Her Solid LP - E=MC2. The Video Version Of I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time Is Set To Be This Remix, With Rapper T.I.


Apart form the disgracefully bad title, I really like this song, it's a somewhat unexpected single due to the fact that there are much stronger tracks on the album (Migrate, Side Effects), however, it is a real catchy tune & has a dance vibe that I totally feel.

I can see the appeal of adding T.I to the track, it includes the male demographic more than the original & reflects Mariah's obvious love of Hip-Hop music & culture. Still, it annoys me a little that every Carey remix holds the same formula, maybe she should commission one with an R&B or Soul star, a Mary J. Blige duet would be hot!

The Official Single For I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time Will Be Released On July 1st.

"Mariah Carey ft. Akon & Lil Wayne - Bye Bye" (Remix)

After I Posted A Jay Z Remix Of Mariah's Latest Single - Bye Bye, I Assumed It Was The Official One. However, Here Is A Brand New Mix Featuring Akon & Lil Wayne.


I'm not feeling it that much, I can see the point of it, obviously Mariah is trying to extend the audience to the Hip-Hop heads, however this is a slow jam R&B number, there is no way it will crossover that well.

From my perceptions, it seems that Mariah's album is not fairing as well as expected, I do think that this was a poor single choice because of the amazing array of tracks on E=MC2. Still, while it may have not achieved the same critical acclaim as 'The Emancipation', I suppose the sales speak for themselves.

"Taio Cruz ft. Estelle - I Can Be" (Remix)

Here Is A Hot UK Remix Of Taio Cruz's Current Single - I Can Be. It Features 'Your Girl Estelle' & I Am Really Liking It.


I only have one bone to pick with people over this song & by posting it I'm being a hypocrite because I don't think this track is urban. I hate to say it, but someone has to, if N-Sync had made this track, the urban community would spit on it, just because a track has a couple of kick drums, it doesn't make it R&B.

But, don't get me wrong, I really like this track even if it is a Pop record, & Estelle's added verse really opens it up to that more urban audience. I really never plugged this album either, it is a real good look for Taio, there honestly is not a bad song on the whole record, if you haven't grabbed a cope yet, you really will not be disappointed.

"Lil Wayne ft. Kanye West - Lollipop" (Remix)

Weezy & Yeezy Join Forces Once Again For This Paramount Remix Of Lil Wayne's Current Hit - Lollipop.


At first, I was a real critic of Lollipop, it doesn't have that much lyrical value & it is the most radio friendly track Wayne has ever put out. However, I now realise the Club/Dance potential of this track, every time I hear the intro it makes me want to move!

Once you have finished your 'Gangsta Lean', you can enjoy the deeper remix of the track, Kanye really does his thing on this one - "How Many Licks Do It Take Before She Get To Shop" - LMAO at that. With extra versus from Wayne & the same slick production, this is a winner with me.

"N.E.R.D ft. Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha T - Everyone Nose" (Remix)

Source - Kanye's Blog

Here Is The Official Remix To N.E.R.D's New Single -Everyone Nose.


While I am really feeling this track, how they can call it a remix is anyone's guess. With new production, completely different versus & a cut up of the hook, it feels like a completely different song.

My first thought was that they shouldn't have scrapped the original production as it was outstanding, but after I got over that & heard amazing flows by Kanye & Lupe, I forgave them. Ye actually put out this version on his blog & he states that this isn't the final mastered version, but it sounds pretty solid to me.

"Usher ft. Beyonce & Lil Wayne - Love In This Club (Part II)"

After The Huge Success Of Usher's Latest Track - Love In The Club, Here Is A New Song Dubbed - Part II.


Beyonce & Lil Wayne have jumped on the track in a strange combination, I can see the King & Queen of R&B joining forces, but Weezy seems a little lost IMO. Still, the track feels more like contemporary R&B over it's Poppy predecessor.

I am really looking forward to Usher's new album, I'm still not a fan of the man, but I love the music. Definitely going to be a hot pick of 2008.

"Mariah Carey ft. Jay Z - Bye Bye" (Remix)

Here Is The Official Remix To Mariah Carey's New Single - Bye Bye. It features long time friend & previous collaborator - Jay Z.


It seems to me, that Mariah's people are trying to bring this track to the clubs, with a new verse from Jay & an adapted, banging beat. It feels unnecessary, as this song was never meant for a club audience, it's an R&B ballad, so I don't really see the need.

"R. Kelly - Touch My Body" (Remix)

"It's The Remix Killer" - Not My Words, But The Words Of R. Kelly On His Remix Of Mariah Carey's - Touch My Body... & Yes, You've Certainly Killed This One Off Kells!


OK, so it's not that bad, R. Kelly serves up some real nice harmonies, his vocal ability has never been questioned by myself. However the track just feels like a bad joint from The-Dream, or something that T-Pain couldn't be bothered to do.

Kell's seems to be determined to drum up some excitement around his new project, tentatively titled - 12 Play Fourth Quarter. I am more excited to see the outcome of his up-coming trial than I am about another egotistical, mediocre album.

"Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland - 4 Minutes" (Remix)

Spotted At - Chris-Pix

Here Is Rumoured To Be The Official Remix To The Biggest Record In The World Right Now - Madonna's 4 Minutes.


Obviously, this is a Timbaland remix & uses the beat from the intro/outro of the 4 Minutes video, this is some hot ish. I recently commented on just how good the intro beat was to the video & now I think it is even better.

Timbaland has come under a lot of fire recently because of his work with the likes of Justin Timberlake & Nelly Furtado, saying that he has forgotten the street & that he is 'watering down' his massive beats.

I will always support Timbo in whatever he does because I think the man is God himself. IMO this beat, as well as the original 4 Minutes beat are just as good as he used to make back in the days of Aaliyah & Missy. He has literally shaped the music world for the last decade, you can't blame him for wanting his time in the limelight. Timbo The King!

"Trey Songz ft. Lil Wayne - Can't Help But Wait" (Remix)

Here IS The Official Remix To Trey Songz Huge R&B Jam; Can't Help But Wait.

It's pretty obvious 'what' this is, it is the Hip-Hop version of the song, I assume to keep up the momentum & to get the track played in clubs. Luckily, this has not backfired on Trey, as this deserves to be a new song in it's own right.

Lil Wayne is on fire as usual, this guys flow is from a different planet, he can spit about anything & make it sound good. Weezy could make a brain tumor sound cool if he rapped about it. He adds a lot to this track, as well as the new production & lyrics from Trey.

Still, I like the original better, it was really genuine & was one of my favorites from a very solid album. In fact, if you haven't got a copy, you should go & buy Trey Day, definitely recommended.

Here Is A New Remix To Kanye West's Current US Single; Flashing Lights.

R. Kelly lends some R&B vocals to this mix, end result is pretty middle of the road , laugh at Kells line - 'Flash Your Light On Me'.

I'm really not an R. Kelly fan, but if you are you will probably love it. I'm feeling the original much more, it's another epic Kanye track.

"Janet Jackson - Feedback" (Timbaland Remix)

Source - Chris-Pix

This Track Is Rumored To Be The Official Remix To Janet Jackson's Huge New Hit; Feedback.

Apparently it has been produced by the worlds most renowned producer; Timbaland. I'm personally not so sure, I'm a huge Timbo fan & can usually spot his beats a mile away, but we will have to wait & see. Whoever has made these beats, they are pretty sick!

In my opinion the 'Dark Child' beats of the original were amazing, it is the reason why I liked the song in the first place. I don't feel that a remix is necessary at all, but I'm not going to hate on some brilliant beats.
