Phil Adé - Hollywood (Remix)
Artist: Phil Adé
Featuring: Raekwon , Wale , tabi Bonney , Raheem DeVaughn
Producer: Mark Henry
Album: The Lettermen
Label: 368 Music Group
They say good things come to those who wait, and while I have no idea who “they” are, they must have been talking about Phil Adé’s Hollywood (Remix). Although it’s been almost six months to the day since we first heard the young emcee’s Booth-approved original, the man’s obviously been busy in the meantime recruiting a superstar line up for the remix. How superstarish? Try Raekwon, Wale, tabi Bonney and Raheem DeVaughn for size. The soulful production, by double-first-named beatsmith Mark Henry, remains essentially untouched, giving the assembled crew the chance to shine, and shine they do. Or in Rae’s case, murder the track. The Chef’s dominating performance aside, the DMV quartet of Ade, Wale, Bonney and Raheem on the vocal tip more than do their region proud (especially Waleezy). Will Ade’s obvious lyrical skills and quotable punch lines be enough to earn him a star on the Walk of Fame? We’ll find out when his upcoming DJBooth and OkayPlayer presented album The Letterman comes out this June.

We are big fans of Phil over here at the Booth and its reasons like the "Hollywood (Remix)" that we can stand firm next to our unwavering co-sign. I agree with Nathan that Raekwon stole the show here, but one listen through and there isn't much not to like.
I promise if you are sleeping on Phil right now, The Letterman will change your mind quickly. Real quickly.

I like Phil Ade. Is he manufactured by Raheem like a lot of people think? Well probably. Doesn't mean he won't do a solid job. I'm looking forward to the Letterman. But this isn't his best effort. The remix however is much better than the original and I agree with Nathan and DJ Z - it's because of Raekwon. Wale also goes in hard. Phil's and Tabi's verses unfortunately are completely forgettable.

DMV repping to the fullest! This is true hip-hop and some good lyricists make good use of this soulful beat. Raheem is a perfect addition to this song with his calming vocals. It never hurts to have a amazing rapper like Wale either. This is a dope song!

Good to see my man Wale being featured again. I enjoy each verse equally but I'd have to say Raekwon took the song into banger status. Good jobs on the lyrics and just dope dope dope to say the least.

Man, the DMV is on an uprise. I dont think no one can stop the talent flowing out that region. Love this, everyone did their part in making this a believable track. Henry held it down.

The remix of this track is definitely better than the original track.
Raekwon on the track is the protaganist as he steals the show from Nathan. Wale does a good job in the track, wheras, Tabi's and Phil's verses can be easily forgotten. |

This couldn’t get any better with solid verses from all artists; however Raekwon and Wale were just something else.

It's a subtle thing, but Raheem's vocals really give this track a new, more soulful, epic feel. And of course the emcee game is ridiculous. Great flows from Wale and Ade, but Rae crushes it, as always. One of the few songs whose remix is better than the original.
Because I can't help myself with these things: Raekwon > Wale-Ade (tie) > Bonney.

Right off the bat, with a lineup consisting of Raekwon, Wale & Raheem DeVaughn, you know that this is gonna be something special. All of the verses were consistent, but Wale came the hardest with Raekwon a close second. Phil Ade wasn't too bad and the same goes for Bonney. Raheem DeVaughn's singing is always nothing short of great. With a lineup as great as this, this track is solid.

As the track started, it showed alot of promise, but as the track went on the verses to me got a little weaker, and it seemed to me like it all came down to the hook.
