Apparently, K-Salaam & Beatnick aren’t satisfied with the original version of the song 6th Sense, from Common’s 2000 album, Like Water for Chocolate. In fact, they think they can do better. In their newly-released remix of the track, they swap the rather sparse Primo beat for one with a whole lot more flavor. Gone are the dirty piano samples and throwback drum loop, replaced by wailing guitars, electro beeps, funky wah bass, and some cleaned-up percussion. The end result is far more crowded, upbeat, and festive than the original. Thankfully, the two Minneapolis producers leave the vocals untouched, staying true to the words that made the song a classic in the first place.

K-Salaam & Beatnick are from Minneapolis? Oh snap! I didn't know. I might have to holler at them for some custom production for a Young Son project. I'm not really feeling the remix though. It takes the vibe that the original contained away from the song. The beat by itself is ill though, just not for this remix.
i must disagree with some of the folks above me this is refreshing the production is so clean the spin on this is that it suits commons vocals very well these producers r the Downey in the washer..... they aint no joke
i agree with lil boy chief and jerry, this is really refreshing and suits common's flow perfectly well...the only down side (which is a strong one) is that the beat drowns out the flow which was (is still) the centerpiece in the masterpiece
This production is upbeat, refreshing (to use a word that has been previously used by several members - I am not trying to bite styles here) and lots of fun. These remixes are a great new way to spin classic records, without losing the 'classic' element.
Yea refreshing is definitely the word to describe this. Love the OG version but the remix got that feel good vibe for sure. I'll spin it at party's for shure!
I have mad respect for K-Salaam & Beatnik! "Whose World Is This", gonna be crazy. These two can bring a great modern twist to classics, without losing that "classic feeling", just like Z said.
