The remix's beat is too simple. No scratching... it's just a beat. Also, part of it is that Will glides the original's beat much better. The tempo also suits his words much better. It's that... "I'm cool with it, but I'm still goingt to talk about you" beat.
Are you guys saying that if it came down to a choice between the two for a spot on the album, you'd rather have the remix version over the original... blasphemy!!! :kekeke:
theres plenty of scratching MaxFly you just havent heard it..
it starts off with jeff scratching a lot.. with the sample "clap ya hands to what hes doin" then during the chorus he puts in samples off get back..lean back..drop it like its hot and summertime.. u prob cant hear it properly cause westwood n jjfp is talkin over it
No, I heard the scratching in the beginning, which is great. You're right Tim, there is quite a bit there. What I mean is that the beat that Will rhymes over in the first verse is pretty simple (there are plenty of places where a little hesitation scratching could have improved on what is already there). Don't get me wrong, it's great for a remix, no doubt, and the switch to dirt off your shoulders (love that Timberland beat, killed it when the black album came out), lean back, and then summertime is cool. But neither the initial beat, nor any of the subsequent beats really fit with the lyrics and the flow as well as the original. That's not to knock the remix, but the original is so much better in this respect.
It's like I said earlier, though some people will genuinely like the remix more, I think that there are people who just like the fact that JJ is on it.
I must ask this again, if you guys had a choice between having only the remix or the original on the album, would you really choose the remix?
It's not that serious, but the original is my second favorite track on the album, so I just had to ask.
