Relationships are like prescription drugs – they always have side effects. No, that wasn’t an attempt at humor. Rather, it was an educated comparison based solely on Mariah Carey’s newest feature inside our Booth: a remixed version of the Jeezy-assisted Side Effects, which now boasts a new middle verse, compliments of Busta Rhymes. Over an uncomplicated, synthesized production from Scott Storch, Carey describes the problems she has encountered as a direct result of her past relationships. Blaming youth, inexperience and men, Carey seems strung up on her past, but Rhymes plows through the door and reminds the newlywed to forget the past and focus on the future. There is no word on whether or not Side Effects will officially be released as the next single from Carey’s platinum-plus album, E=MC².
Note: The streaming of “Side Effects (Remix)” has temporarily been suspended.
Listen to Mariah Carey's Side Effects (Remix) ft. Busta Rhymes
gizzzeredliner... i'm just wondering how you can say the song is awesome an rate it stars? i just found that weird. anyways teh song is straight. in rotation. decent. i like it. mariah niceness as usual lol busta did his thing as usual. in rotation
by the way wtf are you talkin about. mariah has one of the greatest voices in the game. Ever heard of Visions of love. Listen to the old @*#$! man. smh. youngsters
like da production..nice one Storch! but one of dose trackz i wod listen too wen im in dat 'wanna box da hell outta sumfang!" mood LOL go MC! standin up for the sistaz whove been thru the same .. like Busta on dis!!
All I can say is not a favorite of mine, but rating it for effort. Her voice sounds like it's kind of dying on this track. Busta was alright, i've heard better. 3 stars~(**)~
and i know people are sayin that she didnt do the power vocals all the way through the song like she normally does, but this is a radio banga. You don't always wanna hear someone powerin it on a track. Sometimes, you wunna have somethin that you can sing along to. yah know?
I was hesitant to even listen to this, however this track is not bad at all... In my opinion the best since We Belong Together Remix... I'll throw it on my girls ipod
This song is very good! Can't believe someone wrote it's a throw away track...To me it's way better than her single out now (don't remembet the title)! It's catchy, well-produced and she does her thing as always! Busta's part is useless...the main thing in the track is Mariah's lovely voice! I keep on preferring her uptempo tracks, like Migrate (I hope it will come out as her next single, I'm tired of ballads and midtempos), they have something more! 3,5
In rotation. Like she does her thing and thats it. I miss the old Mariah- she def doesn't utilize her vocals as much as she used to I guess she's at the point where she figures she doesn't have to... anyway I don't dislike this track its just whatever, Mariah does Mariah and Busta does Busta. Same old.
