Mariah Carey - H.A.T.E.U (Remix)
Artist: Mariah Carey
Featuring: OJ Da Juiceman , Big Boi , Gucci Mane
Producer: Jermaine Dupri
Album: Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel
Label: Island Records
In my review of Mariah Carey’s new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel I wrote that while The-Dream and Tricky Stewart’s production was as impeccable as always, their darker style didn’t necessarily match Mariah’s light, soprano vocals. Well, apparently Jermaine Dupri reads my reviews, because the hitmaker, who Mariah so successfully teamed up with for The Emancipation of Mimi, has remixed H.A.T.E.U., speeding up the original’s slowly paced rhythm and adding some traditionally catchy So So Def percussion bounce. Joining JD on the remix are the omnipresent Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman - who’s apparently contractually obligated to appear alongside Gucci - and Outkast legend Big Boi, who delivers the best verse of the bunch (which, frankly, wasn’t that hard). Is the remix better than the original? No. Is it catchier, more fun and more likely to hit at radio? No doubt. The only mystery here is what H.A.T.E.U. could possibly stand for as an acronym. Anyone have any ideas?

I still can't believe Gucci was #6 on MTV's hottest "MC's" in the game. But on this, he definitely showed why he was. NOT! I rarely understand what he says, i never have listened to OJ cuz he's affiliated with Gucci. Isn't Big Boi bigger than this, working with Gucci and OJ?? It is sad that Big Boi had the best verse on this, but then again, it really isnt when you look who he's paired with
OJ - 1.5 Big Boi - 3 Gucci - 1 (maybe if lyrics came with this i could understand what he says) Mariah - ahh who cares, i just skipped thru her part -----> 1.5 |

Nathan's review on RefinedHype was SPOT-ON. Big Boi was definitely the best rapper on this-the effect being similar to what would happen if Kobe or LeBron joined the Oklahoma City Thunder (something tells me he dumbed it down to make Gucci & OJ look better). Still, the short bus riders sound everything like you'd expect.
P.S. Glad to see that Jermaine Dupri's back on the beat here! He should go back to doing most of these for Mimi's next album! |

Nathan, I am going to go out on a limb and assume that H.A.T.E.U just stands for "Hate You." I could be wrong, but...
Love JD flipping the beat back to his old school work. And yes, Big Boi undoubtedly has the best guest contribution.

Production is good from Dupri & Big Boi was decent (though defiantly not at his best). The rest of this track is forgettable.

I never even heard the original but I liked this. Production was smooth and Mariah sounded good. Big Boi sounded pretty tight on here and Gucci and OJ were... OK, I guess. 3.5

I wish Big Boi could have rapped 3 times instead of these to jokers "Burr". WTF is that about anyway? Jeezy's got the clout to do it, why doesn't he assassinate Gucci?

ok ok i grew up in a skating rink so when people try to remake the classics that im use to hearing its kind of hard to get me to like them some of them i like some i dont and this is one of them first of all the orignal track for those who didnt know is called my boo by the ghost town djs she absolutly destroyed that song by even attempted to make a song with that beat as far as im concerned she needs to retire from the game because she sucks

Damn!! Another joint done wasted, thanks to entirely unnecessary verses by Gucci and OJ who does nothing but ruins whatever replay potential this remix could have had. I would've happily rated this four star, if it only had Big Boi cos im absolutely lovin this beat. Maybe I would've given Gucci a pass this time but OJ - dats unacceptable yo!
*Meet the ignorant side of Mr.Top Hat* Oh well its your loss muhfcukin b*tch, too desperate for a radio hit, sucking on the latest "hot" rapper. |

If you like this beat it was pretty much ripped from some song from the 80s or 90s, I just cant remember and its pissing me off!
Seriously, this could be a dope track if it wasnt for Gucci and OJ. Seriously? Theres 100000000 rappers in the world and you choose them?!? It still gets banger status because thats what this will do in the club.

Got it, it sampled Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo.” Near classic track right now. Im going to bring this back next time I jump on the decks.

@DJ Z If H.A.T.E.U. doesn't stand for anything besides "Hate You" than why the f**k would you make it a f**king acronym! Acromyns stand for things, that's what they do! Sorry, as a writer these are the things I get mad about. Anyway, I'm enjoying the old school Ghostown sample, other than that, this is a throwaway.

I don't like this song at all. Generic melody and to be honest I don't like Mariah's way of singing...she has a powerful voice and she keeps on whispering instead! rap parts are decent...I preferred Ribbon!

@DJspinz: lol, you're one to talk, you gave it a 5! :p I admit I'm biased, I can't stand Gucci and OJ. But what is worse than their lack of talent, is artists featuring them, like hip hop doesn't have anything better to offer. That's why it gets a 1. I consider it a provocation. Legally! :p (So I have an excuse for rating less fairly...)

H.A.T.E.U = having a typical emotional upset.
Not as good as the original for me. I like how dream and tricky brought her down a bit on this song and album. She acts less like a 12 y.o., too. |
