O'Neal McKnight - Check Your Coat (Remix) ft. Jermaine Dupri & Diddy
Artist: O'Neal McKnight
Featuring: Jermaine Dupri , Diddy
Producer: Jermaine Dupri
Album: Prom 2088
Label: E1
When the original version of O’Neal McKnight‘s Check Your Coat hit the DJ Booth in September of ‘07, it was almost unanimously panned. Then, on Leap Day of ‘08, the Mick Boogie remix (adding sixteen bars from Nas‘s Purple) surfaced to only slightly better reviews. Hoping the third time’s the charm, the SRC/Universal signee gets two big-name industry executives to help with the official remix. With O’Neal’s original song sandwiched in between a brand-new opening verse (and production) from So So Def/Island Urban boss Jermaine Dupri, as well as a few bars and an outro from the top Bad Boy, Diddy (who remarks about yet another possible name change-this time back to Puff Daddy). With such a change-up, maybe this will be more successful than Check Your Coat‘s two previous versions; it’s all up to the listeners.

I first saw the original version of this on a video and I laughed forever. The entire experience was really fruity and O'Neal was a horrible singer. The new production on this and the new rappers make it a little better..but still...this guy's vocals is horrible. If he was a good singer, the song would be a near hit. He should have sold this song to Usher or Ne-Yo or Kevin Michael or something.

This joint is fire! I'll admit ONeal doesn't have the best voice haha, but this beat is hot. Diddy and JD are 2 major players in the game, so that definetly adds to the track in a good way. Good beat, and the video for the original is crazy good!

I love the laces in his shelltoes! His voice is BAD man. VERy BAD! How does this guy get a deal. It must be a personality/ swagger thing. This beat good. It actually sounds like a song that will get some spins. Take dat Take dat!

It seems as though O'Neal has gotten to where he currently sits (record deal, pending album, major collabo's) because of his style and image. And ya know what? There is nothing wrong with that, because plenty of artists have been successful doing the same thing before him (Soulja Boy, Britney Spears, etc..)

woah... This sounds like some kind of techno old school rapper trying to come back with a beat. Its a nice song though producers being the "major rappers" for this song kind of seems like a sad attempt.

The remix to Check Your Coat is much much better than the original. O'Neal is still a very mediocre rnb artist, but oddly enough he's still getting all the right attention. The remixed definitely made the beat a bit more memorable than the original. Although JD and Diddy have yet to come out with anything spectacular in the past little while, they did draw a significant improvement to this track.

Don't like the original nor the remix. Greg Nice sounds so corny. "pump your fist in the air.." lol. Why would they put that on the remix? and... Why is Diddy cursing? Does he think it makes his verse hot?

Maybe I am weird but I like this song...the beat is really energic and I'm feeling how they sing! Never heard the original version, though, so I can't say if this is better

I give this song 5*'s for changing that opening verse. Man, that made me hate this song. I'm with DJRoyale, please take the, "Pump ya fist in the air" off of this song A.S.A.P.!!! JD was like music to my ears compared to the other dude. Diddy, excuse me, Puffy was the best thing about this song.
