I came across this track early yesterday. Honestly, the original is kind of whack, and this new approach really makes it sing. Something about Jigga’s flow and rock in the background is just so natural for me. I love this remix, which is saying a lot considering I didn’t even download the original. This song is evidence, as are many of the post’s on this site, that this remix culture is continuing to develop and allowing individuals to interpret songs in their own way, sometimes better than the artists themselves. Some might say that its like editing a flaw you see out of a famous artist’s painting. I would argue it’s creating a better received adaptation of the original.
Hope everyone enjoys the track!
