Raphael Saadiq - Oh Girl (Remix) ft. Jay-Z
Artist: Raphael Saadiq
Featuring: Jay-Z
Producer: Raphael Saadiq
Album: The Way I See It (Bonus Track)
Label: Columbia Records/Pookie Ent.
When you record a song with Jay-Z and it makes your album as the thirteenth and final track—in this situation the always-appealing bonus track—you know you have a dynamite album on your hands. Such is the case with Columbia‘s own, Raphael Saadiq, who is set to drop his highly-anticipated new album, The Way I See It, next Tuesday the 16th. In addition to tracks that feature the likes of Joss Stone and the great Stevie Wonder, the singer/songwriter/producer has included a remix to Oh Girl, featuring a 16-bar opening and ad libs by the aforementioned Hova. In his interview inside our DJBooth, Saadiq said that he wanted listeners “to talk about [his music] and go tell more people about [it].” With soulful, self-produced slow jams like Oh Girl, that won’t be a problem.

This is different. I'm feelin Rapheal's 60's style these days. I gotta admit I miss the smooth Lets get down style, but this is good. Hov kinda throws this one off 4 me. It's somewhere between a 2 and 3 4 me.

THIS IS SICK RIGHT HERE! I am not even a big Jay-Z fan since after Blueprint 1, but this is TIGHT! Sick-Slow beat. Nice production by Raphael. Jay-Z rips this like he used to back in the day! With that fast/slow flow! I am really feeling this track, even though I thought I wouldn't! SICK IDEA, and SICK Outcome! Definitely a Certified DJ BLAZE BANGER!!!

Not my kind of song but still chillin and smooth...I don't like Jay Z here (and I'm not a big fan of him in general), I don't think his flow fits the type of track! Raphael Saadiq sings very well

Could this song have done without Jay-Z? I think so. Jay added nothing to the song.

Its so far from what pop is right now, which makes it hot. Ive been wondering why the Beatles' (for example) sound has to die with them. This is hot in a classic way. Jay was just ok for me, even tho he's my favorite rapper. **** This isn't a banger but still 4 stars****

The 60s style of Raphael is so ill! This shows how that music would have been with rappers in that era! I'm loving how R.S and people like Solange are really paying homage to this style of music. This song really sounds like it could have came out back in the 1960s no doubt. It's like it's timeless already, but it's brand new! I call this Brand New Nostalgia music!
