Best Remix Record of 2011
Reader's Pick
Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj - Dance (A$$) (Remix)
“Dance (A$$),” the rump-shaking third single off Big Sean's Finally Famous, had a lot going for it—an eccentrically dope MC Hammer-sampled beat by Da Internz, a memorable catchphrase (“Wobble-dy wobble-dy...”), and a crowd-pleasing lyrical theme (Big butts; what else?). But something was missing. Enter Nicki Minaj, whose uncharacteristically subdued but still enjoyably schizoid guest verse on the official remix provided just the push this big-booty anthem needed to receive major rotation in clubs (strip and otherwise) from NYC to “Waikiki-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i.”

Yonas - Pumped Up Kicks (Remix)
When Foster the People's Pumped Up Kicks, a record that turned a school shooting strangely catchy, became a huge hit artists from coast to coast rushed to put their own spin on it, but none of them did it better than Yonas. Producer Sean Ross rearranges the instrumental, subtly punching it up, while the Bronx emcee enters stage left with uplifting rhymes that touch on his father's death, the motivation to make music and his dedication to persevering against all odds. With a remix like this who needs the original?

I voted for Hard White, again Shady delivered what I thought was one of the best collaborations of 2011. I will admit to never hearing the Pumped Up Kicks Remix and leave no opinion on it now but I will check it out.
Dance (A$$) Remix, was I admit one of my guilty pleasure songs of 2011 because of the Nicki Minaj verse, again not my top but I guess popularity wins out. |
