These big remixes are all posse cuts where the hottest usually from the south (no offense) drops some lines.
Don't get me wrong. All these remixes are hot, but why don't they flip the beat? Make it a lil more interesting?
The "best" example that pops in my head is Game's One Blood Remix. The sampling of Reid gets a bit annoying after 9 mins. lol

Just my 2 cents.

These remixes are somehwat fresh now, theyre gonna get boring soon. Its always the same rappers: Fat Joe, Weezy, Baby and Ross.

If you ask me their making them for og songs that didnt blew up like they should have.

Timbo: Give me an example of a Remix for a song that didn't blow up like it should have.

The reason its almost always the same Rappers on the songs is because they're the in rappers at the moment. Just like it was popular to have Busta on your remix, now its good to get Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross etc. Its politics of the game.

I get ya, it hasn't annoyed me yet but i'm sure listening to Reid a bit more longer would have worked on my last nerve, too much Blood blood blood! I can't actually remember any remix's which invloved changing the beat to a better one, except california love.

I think they do it to have a different sounding flow over these hit beats. SINCE they can't fuckin' put it on a mixtape without some idiot sayin' 'They stole the beat', so they gots to jump on remixes, now.

Well, there has been a couple more hot remixes with switched beats. It's early, 7:11 am, so I can't think of any right now. lol

Straight up marketing... If you don't like one dude on a song you'll damn sure find one out of 5 or 6 or 23 rappers that you do, thus giving the song more life....
As for the beats I totally agree, remixes back in the day brought a different flavor to the cut (you couldn't f with a Dre remix or a PE remix)...nowadays they keep 'em the same because the average person gets mad and wont dance to something they havn't heard a million times already. Plus thanks to protools these mixes aren't even organic, just calculated moves made by a label to give a rapper life in regions he might not be poppin in. Don't get me wrong, I bump most of them but they just don't excite me. The only two newer ones I can think off with even a slight beat change was Top Back and the Push It remixes...but those were just minimal changes.
