remix just means diff version of an original song

it can be diff vocals, diff beat, or both

Back in the day, remix always meant a new best or reworked beat…that seemed to change in the 2000s

Word - and now we get 2 remixes with same beat.

I don’t mind the same beat because it is a dope beat. In this case the remix is the lyrics, sometimes the beat is the remix and only a chosen few can make the remix better than the original if it’s a hit record

Need the accs to put together Pt 2 & 3 on the second beat.

I like all three tracks. I'd like a version with the verses on part 2 plus Face's verse. Pretty dope

that’s simply not true




^^ one of the most notorious remixes from the golden era was the same beat with new verses

A LOT more effort used to be put into remixes back in the day and I could point you to many examples (check Shut Em Down remix for example) where totally different producers were brought in .   The term “remix” became watered down over the years and came to just usually mean some different verses for the most part from some featured  mcs to create hype (ala Flava in Ya Ear Remix) while keeping the OG beat

Cube should release the Man Down title track. Pretty sure it was removed at the last minute and replaced with Ego Maniacs.

But don’t forget all the incredible Pete Roxk remixes!  Or how about the Dre remixes of the Chronic tracks?   Or how about Biggie One More Chance which was TOTALLY reworked to be a completely new song and blew up?

My point is that back in the day remixes OfTEN(not always) had some real effort put into them- Let Me Ride remix is incredible to this day

So So Def were really into remixes as well. I believe they even put out a full album with only remixes.

that’s why i’m saying .. remixes have always been both. new vocals or new beat.. or both

puffy even claims to have invented the remix lol
