Red Cafe - Hottest In Da Hood (Remix) ft. Diddy, Jada, Fabolous & More
Artist: Red Cafe
Featuring: Diddy , Jadakiss , Rick Ross , OJ Da Juiceman
Producer: Reefa
Label: Konvict/Bad Boy/Interscope
Already a victim of the RCA, Arista, and Capitol chopping blocks, Red Cafe has just experienced another label switcheroo—well, sort of. At the Core DJ Retreat in Atlanta, Red teamed up with Diddy and Akon to announce that he had left Interscope. Though he’s still represented by Konvict Muzik, the Brooklynite is now signed to a joint deal with Bad Boy Records (and its Atlantic distribution) to release his debut album, still tentatively titled The Shakedown. To help celebrate, Cafe has unleashed the official remix to his latest street single, Hottest In Da Hood. Though the original‘s chorus, as well as Reefa‘s beat are retained, this version features an extra dash of star power. After a few semi-irritating shout-outs from Diddy, Cafe steps up to the mic for a new intro verse. Jadakiss keeps the heat up with his deadpan contribution, which is followed by a shared verse from Rick Ross and Fabolous. Though some might call OJ Da Juiceman‘s closing contribution underwhelming, his presence simply extends the appeal from the Northeast to the Dirty South—hopefully, that’ll help Cafe expand his reach and grow closer to that ever-elusive debut release.

I think this gonna be the Hood BANGER of the Summer 09 .... Energetic beat to have the clubs jumping (it sounds like a mixture of Fiddy's 'Get Up' & 'I Get In') ... Cafe did aiight ... Jada & Ross both turn in first rate performances ... & Loso sounds real comfortable & body's his verse ... but the whole thing "Ayye" hits the turf "Ayye" once OJ "Ayye" starts ... however minimal Diddy on the track makes it more enjoyable ... BANGER!!!
Loso > Jada > Ross > Cafe > OJ > Diddy |

LOVED the original on this one (it's been in my heavy rotation for a month or so) and this one is pretty hot too. I'm not usually a fan of these remix's with an exra-long lineup of artists, but I can let this one slide. A little too lengthy, but still a pretty cool achievement to get them all together.

This track is tight. I thought Cafe was OK. Jada, Ross, and Fab all bring heat. OJ Da Juiceman is incredibly over-rated in my opinion, and he keeps gettin' featured on tracks. The production was pretty good and Diddy's ad-libs are useless. Overall, 3.5

Fab and Jadakiss sound dope on this beat. Red Cafe is actually suprising good and Ross and OJ Da Juiceman are alright. The beat is catchy and the chorus is solid. This is one of these songs where they get as much artists as possible to make it hotter. In rotation

Is there any rapper on this planet that has been pushed around more by the major record labels then Red Cafe? Someone has got to back the guy to succeed like I know he can.
To this track: Some nice guest features always helps & the production by Reefa was pretty solid. Red Cafe more then holds his own against the likes of Jada, Ross & Loso. |

Yea, this ish bump just like the original. Jada just kills it (love his gruff voice over any production). Red Cafe does cool on this and the hook is still pretty catchy and anthem-ready. Ross is himself, but DAMN Fabo... Nice verse. OJ is not very good, but it is a good contrast to hear that gutta, southern voice on the track.
For me: Jada>Fabo>RedCafe>RickRoss>Diddy>OJ |

Kiss just ripped this apart. Then Fab, Cafe and Ross.
Is that order surprising? Not really. Wait, did I forget someone? Like, someone who I think shouldn't have been here? No love. |

I love how our threads for all 'multiple-feature' records have become a "who is better than who" list. I am ALWAYS the trendsetter, so why not be the follower just this once?
KISS > CAFE > FAB > ROSS > DIDDY AD LIBS > OJ (ouch)

wow what a creative hook. is that really the best an artist can do? just repeat the same line over and over until the next verse? Can someone please tell me how an artist yelling out stupid shit in the background is considered an "ad lib"? Isn't the definition of ad lib, something that is spontaneous and unplanned? You can't tell me that shit is unplanned.

I don't remember if I liked the original, but I guess I didn't. I don't like this, anyway. It's a waste of a bangin beat, nobody stands out and the hook is annoying, I hate repetitive hooks

The Beat is sick. But with all these top $$$$$ names wouldn't you expect more? And this is a remix ahhh man please. This might make airtime for the rest of this year just for the younger generation , but after that nobody will remember it.

Just wanted to say i remember seeing Red Cafe on Candy Girls...wow really didn't think he was signed to such a big label. In other....words his flow is straight annoying to me. Don't think he's going to make it big. This beat def grabs my attention though...i see the clubs really rocking this. Fabolous verse was def my fav. He's just a sick lyricist. I'll put it in rotation just because the clubs are going to play it and my generation will like it because OJ Da Juiceman is on it. For some reason in the Lou he's really hot right now. I think it sucks when every other artist on your OWN song outshines you...come harder Cafe.
