Not since Craig Mack’s Flava In Ya Ear has any rapper found a way to gather several of the East Coast’s best MCs on a remix—until now.  Give credit to N.O.R.E. who reached that milestone on the remix to his underground club banger, Set It OffSwizz Beatz’ production and hook remain intact, and N.O.R.E. spits a hot new guest verse, even bringing up T.I.‘s recent federal weapons charges.  However, the new guest rappers steal the show as Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Cassidy, & Red Café illustrate how an East Coast club banger oughta be handled.  While this remix certainly deserves plenty of spins, only time will tell if it will be remembered a decade from now like Flava In Ya Ear.

Finally...a quality remix! It has come to a point where remixes are constantly being dropped as if it's a requirement for all singles, but this one delivers. I love the diversity of the artists on this track, mainstream veteran lyricists that can throw it down! The one that rose my eye brows before even listening to the track was Talib. Talib and N.O.R.E. on the same byline? That's a match to pay attention to. However, Flava In Ya Era will take this any day.

What would be dope is if they all actually recorded this together. However, with the advanced technology of Pro Tools (something Craig Mack did NOT have), they all mailed in their verses.

I wasn't feeling NORE on this track at all actually...I think his prime days are about 9 years ago when NORE album came out. Kweli, Busta, and Cassidy do their things as usual and it should have really been a song with just them three on it...That would have been more than enough! Not feeling it like a classic...this track will be forgotten by 2008...

I'm from Houston, and I'm definitely feelign this one! Everyone comes off hard as hell. I dont like Cassidy that much, and he rips the track. I need to reconsider him. Its a hard track, maybe not club or anything.
