Beyoncé - Ego (Remix) ft. Kanye West
Artist: Beyoncé
Featuring: Kanye West
Producer: Elvis “BlacElvis” Williams
Album: I Am... Sasha Fierce (Sasha Disc)
Label: Music World/Columbia
It looks like our resident album reviewer, Nathan S., was spot-on in his prediction that the Sasha Fierce half of Beyoncé‘s latest LP would outperform I Am… on the charts. With Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) beating If I Were A Boy and Diva surpassing Halo, it’s time for Round 3 in the singles battle; facing off against underdog I Am… single Broken-Hearted Girl is the heavily-favored Sasha disc’s Ego. Mrs. Carter enlists the services of her hubby’s “little brother,” Kanye West, for the remix/single version—obviously not lacking on the ego front, ‘Ye lets the world know how frequently his gets stroked (warning: more double entendres ahead!) Though Elvis “BlacElvis” Williams’ jazzy beat could just as easily have been placed on I Am…, this cut should have no trouble continuing Sasha‘s hit streak, as well as inspiring YouTube’s next wave of homemade dance videos.

B has another hit on her hands with this one, no questions. It wasn't my favorite showing from either artists, but it's got hit record written all over it. Kanye's verse is hilarious just because it's all so true haha. Easily more impressive than the original, but its a 3 star.

This was a good remix overall. Kanye was tight at the beginning. B sounded good as well. 3.5, I'll round it up.

Kanye!!! I like how the songs starts slow (and Kanye fits perfectly) and then builds up on B's part. They both did a great job with it!
B sounds lovely with those "oooh"... Production is definitely fresh! |

Kanye sounds good on the track and the production is hot Im definitely digging B on this too. I like how the beat is simpler on Ye's part so his lyrics standout. 4 stars!

I really am enjoying Kanye's simple and everyday flow on this track! The production is EXCELLENT by Elvis! The Way Beyonce comes on the same time the beat really drops is PERFECTION! This is a SERIOUS BANGER! It should get a whole lot of airplay, and I would be just fine with that.

Loved the original, remix is just as hot. Can't wait for the version to leak without that annoying laugh and dj though.

Kanye was born to be featured on his record. I am preparing myself for this to be played on repeat on Chicago radio over the next 3 months.
PS. Is Kanye trying to be Weezy? What is this? The 15th guest feature/remix he's done in the last few months? Seriously? He is puttin' in work!

I guess you cant say that three letter word in Hip-Hop without mentioning Mr.West ... Kanye's use of tight lyrics and memorable vamps blend in with the song, some hard KO punchlines in the end ... & B killed the beat with her raw emotion ... tho i would have liked the piano throughout the entire song ... but still its a CLASSIC fo me ...

wtf. ok, i'll be the black sheep on this one. this song has no substance except 4 the production. the "clever" wordplay combines with the slow beat to give me the impression that both these artists are just killin time

Kanye, Kanye, Kanye... this is his appeal right here: his arrogance mixed with his sense of humor and laid back/real vibe. I find myself shaking my head at certain lines, and laughing out loud at others.
The production (especially the piano) is real nice. B does her thing on here, this is a hot track |

I really prefer it when Kanye doesn't sing....but anyway when he first started off i thought it was cute(the diction he was using) This was def the perfect song for Ye to be on. Well topic wise cause he def has an ego. I personally prefer remixes when the beat has changed (just in some type of way)/sometime ,but its still hot. I really like the chorus on this song its quite catchy. Overall its decent.
