September of last year, industry giants Kanye West and Lil’ Wayne knocked one out of the proverbial park with their Graduation collaboration, Barry Bonds. Nine months later, ‘Ye and Weezy have come together once again, teaming up for a remix of arguably the biggest single thus far of 2008, Lollipop. The constants held over from the original version are Static’s (R.I.P) chorus and bridge, as well as producer Jim Jonsin’s beat; Wayne spits two all new verses, complete with non-vocoder rhymes and “reeeemix baby” ad libs throughout. Surprisingly, Wayne has never recorded an “official” remix to any of his previously cataloged songs; knowing the public will lick this one right up, he waited for the right sucker.
I've been waitin for this Remix for a long time!! Went as far as askn "Z" lol, Kanye KILLS THIS!!!! His voice sounds so unique on thsi vocoder, I think Weezy threw in the 2 non vocoder rhymes for the haters who dont like the voicebox haha. This song is gonna be just as big if not BIGGER than the original!! BANGERR!!!!
Weezy and Kanye both RIPPED this so hard it's unbelievable!!
Kanye is the 3rd best voice boxer behind (2) t-pain #!1 Roger Troutman R.I.P.! This is my favorite song right now! Weezys new verse was good! Loved it!
I personally like the original better..and Kanye shouldn't have used the vocoder because he sounds more like himself without it...hes a beast and he shouldnt need a voice box to change up his style...Lil Wayne's verses were fresh though...
DAMN! This remix is Hot! Kanye is killin it on the voice box lately. And I love how Wayne spit a verse without the voice box! Ahhh, this is so much better than the original- it has actual verses with words instead of the same repeated stuff from the original! CLASSIC!
this is a madd sick track - the original and the remix. i actually remixed lil waynes lollipop into a dance track so if anyone wants to check that out just go to http://www.youtube.com/user/cureCause
Wayne gets all lyrical over his own radio play single to shut up the haters. He and Kanye both killed this. Thats the hard spittin I wanted to hear outta Weezy like I said on "Got Money".
You are absolutely right Z, Weezy has never declared an official remix to any of his solo tracks. That's pretty ironic considering the countless remixes he has dropped for other artists. Weezy speeded up the flow of his verses a lot for this remix. It's as if he's compromising the simplistic rhymes in the original to hard-hitting bars in the remix. Kanye provides a nice immediate attention grabber
michaelhannah ill remember u said that the carter 3 will be the best album in the last ten years and when it doesnt even come close i will laugh again and again at your silly prediction, i told yall lil wayne is scared to drop the carter 3 bcuz he KNOWS that it wont live up to all the hype that he be getting because of proclaiming himself best rapper alive, like i said i will be glad when he finds the balls to drop that album so we can quit talking about it...lil wayne is so overrated, but dont get me wrong he shines at times but not everytime, i ready for wayne to be glad when he goes on vacation because he saturated the market, u cant turn on the radio or DJBOOTH without hearing lil wayne.......i agree with comments bout kanye he did his thing but i sick of this song
P.S- im not hatin, i just tell it how it is then i tell it how it could be lol
This is a remix. I was expecting just a feature but this remix has new lyrics and the intro is nicely spiced. Kanye must of been an english major before he dropped out 'cause his words are so masterfully crafted. I kind of like Kanye with the voice box. This is an OFFICIAL SLAMMER!
boss dogg: I totally agree...Lil Wayne is FAR from the greatest rapper alive. But you can't deny that fact that he clearly knows how to use all this hype to his advantage. The expectations for "The Carter III" are so ridiculously over-the-top that he would have to drop an undisputed classic to meet everyone's quota. "Lollipop" does not make a classic hip-hop album in my book.
I completely agree with you, boss dogg/TONE. Lollipop is not Hip Hop classic material. Sure, it's a nice club song, but it's nothing truly spectacular. A classic is "Illmatic". A classic is "All Eyez On Me". I highly doubt "Tha Carter III" will be the best album for 10 years to come, though it might outsell any other album for 10 years to come with all this hype.
I like this song but I don't know what I could do about this: I don't like Lil' Wayne! I can't stand his voice and with the voicebox is even worse! Anyway it's a banger, I'm really feeling the melody, the music and the beat!
OMG. OMG. OMG. WOW.
LYRICS ALL ABOUT LOLLIPOPPING... AND THEY MURDERED IT.
AND WAYNE: YOU BETTER WEAR A LATEX IF YOU DONT WANNA GET THAT 'IM LATE' TEXT.
CRAZY.
BANGER, CLASSIC, MURDER.
wayne went absolutely nuts on this one.i like that kanye didnt let wayne outshine him tho.i wish this version woulda been out during spring break.the original was definetly the song to be played in Flavoland during spring break and i wish i coulda been the only one bumpin' this version.
i luv da original betta then da remix kanye did kill it tho. As of the C3 i aint sweatin dat album cuz its gonna crash and burn. i have a feelin alotta fans is gonna be disappointed and frankly im not dat deep of a lil wayne fan so wateva.
getting tired of peeps saying wayne is the best rapper alive, got ability but always does stupid voices, however, he rips it in his 1st verse.....enough of wayne though, good tune!!
ITs the remix baby......... oh my god this jawn is so much better than the remix which to me was retarded i didnt really think Wayne flow on his second version mixed with the song but i do think that Kanye West verse was better than lil wayne whole set but to me i think that Kanye Werst is better than Lil wayne i think that Lil Wayne gets more respect because he comes out with more material and he is from the south and the south is hot right now so basically everything is in his favor but ova all this song is a banga and this jawn is goin get maja play and hopefully this will be on the album
The fact that my two favorite rappers came together and made a remix to one of the best songs of the year just makes me want to...yeah. Still, it is a little old, the beat and all, but I like Lil' Wayne's new verse, and Kanye on the voice box has been BULLET!!!
any one got something to say about wayne voice now? i told yall he got a good voice with or with out the voice box :p wayne ripped dis @*#$! and kanye i really like him on remix to but t.i i is bettr at remixs this all i got to say uh i give 4 stars banerbut not classic
Fuego! Ye killed it.. Why is it as soon as Ye is done with his verse I rewind it to the start.. I dont much care for the rest of the song.. lol Nice tho!
Kanye used da voicebox on Jeezy song & now on da Lollipop(remix)...I think if more rappers used da voicebox,more & more people will get used 2 it. If Wayne uses da box, ya'll tired of it! But if Yezzy's on da box, ya'll don't have a problem with it! i'm just sayin..ya'll need 2 make up ya'lls mind about the voicebox! Either u luv it or u don't!!!
"Better wear a latex cuz you dont want that late text that I think I'm late text"...CLASSIC this remix is fire and this is the Wayne that has the game on lock
Pretty damn good remix! Kanye verse was a sick way to start it off and its good to hear Wayne do the song without the voicebox. Its arguably better than the original!
lil wayne did his thing on this track this @*#$! was fired once agian wayne on top kanye did his thing too both them know what they doing i dig this song alot i personally think its better than the original
When did I say that? I ain't never said the Carter 3 was going to be the best album. WTF. Get outta here. It's not even gon do better than "The Cool". Get outta here. This snaps off though. Definitely. But I'm saying, I ain't never said Carter 3 was finna be a classic.

this all i got to say uh i give 4 stars banerbut not classic
