The question of the day is: how long should an artist wait before dropping a remixed version of their single?  For most artists, the answer to this question is “not long after the original is released.”  But, for Chicago’s ‘other’ hip-hop hierarchy incumbent, Lupe Fiasco, anytime seems to be appropriate.  Ten months after his sophomore LP, The Cool, landed in stores, Fiasco has decided to release a remix of Paris Tokyo – a song he selected as a single roughly five months ago.  Featuring guest verses from Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. and Q-Tip (whose music he fudged during last year’s VH1 Hip-Hop Honors), and the singing accompaniment from FNF’s First Lady, Sarah Green, the remix proves that for some artists, there’s no such thing as too late.

its ok, preferred the original. Lupe always brings it lyrically, Sarah Green sounds good on this track.

I agree, I preferred the original. The beat just doesn't fit Q-Tip at all, but that may mean Q-Tip shouldn't be on the joint.. did appreciate the lyrics from him thou. Pharrell's verse is interesting, and the delivery curious, I like it really. Sarah Green is really good, liked the verse, but on at least the version i heard her voice is too loud and strong for the beat. Lupe, of course, tears it up. Not my choice selection of assistance, yet the song as a whole has been growing on me; when I don't pick each artist apart I really like it. 4*, no more, no less

I'm sorry Pharrell, but your not a good rapper. I thought the first verse was a super weak Lupe effort, but he actually came at the end and amazed. Pharrell was pitifully outshone on this track. He's had his chance to get his Kanye on, and failed, So please stick to choruses and sick beats.

I heard this a little earlier. I didn't like Pharell's verse. It was very annoying almost. It got okay towards the end. Q-Tip came in real awkward also. The track itself didn't seem to organized or mixed well. They all must have recorded in different spot. I pictured Q-Tip on this remix when I first heard the original when "The Cool" first dropped, but this didn't meet what I pictured though. I don't know. Maybe it real is the engineering mix that is throwing it off. I really Sarah's presence on the track. She was nice. Lupe smashed this track! He always comes hard as always. My favorite line was "I know you sick of all the rat-tat-tat-tat, Wwell, this the soothing sounds of the backpack rat packSarah Green from the FNF crew, two from the Child Rebel & the Q. Lupe really held this track together, but overall, it could have been better.

Wow Sarah Green and Lupe rep hard for Chi-town on this track. Pharrell did not mesh well on this beat at all. Q-Tip sounded like he was trying to take it back to some Midnight Marauder business.

I think it's just you _cp_...lol. Lupe's original is classic status. This, even with flame verses from Lupe and Sarah, is not.

Yea Pharrell tried to make this work but he shoulda rapped to it. Q-tip gave us a nice verse here, Sarah is the truth, and lupe, oh my god...

I don't know the original but I don't like this. The production is smooth but every verse in this song sounds completely out of tune to my ears! Probably they wanted to obtain this effect but I'm not feeling it, it's completely distort. The hook is kinda boring. Sarah Green is the best part of the song, she has a good voice but I don't like her verse, either

This song feels very uncomfortable to me...When i heard Pharrell come in i almost wanted to turn it off but i forced myself to keep listening...Q-tip wasnt much better, even the beat doesnt fit...I dont wanna say this becuase i think all the people on this track are very talented but this is garbage

Pharrell sounds NICE on here! I can definitely feel his awkwardness on here. Sounds really nice with the beat! I still think the original is CLASSIC! I actually like Q-tip on here too. I think it was a good colaboration with guys that have smooth and relaxed voices on a track that is supposed to be smooth and relaxed! Wasn't really feeling the singing from Sarah, but other than that, this is a BANGER!

I usually like Pharell, but his verse was awkward and not very good. Sarah and Lupe killed this! Q-Tip brought it too. Pharell's verse was the only thing that kept me from rating this higher.

Pointless? Almost, I cannot wait for Lupe next (last? hopefully he will change his mind) album. This song was "remixed" just to ride out the beat. I'll just listen to the original on The Cool in my car (not burnt).

Both Versions have their place in my opinion, the original is a classic, the remix is a different take on the classic that may require a bit of tuning but w/ it reaches the hiatus of classic status as well. It would be better fitting starting with Lupe then running down the list and ending with Lupe again.
