Rihanna - Diamonds (Remix)
Artist: Rihanna
Featuring: Kanye West
Producer: Stargate and Benny Blanco
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Def Jam/IDJMG
On the lead single off Rihanna‘s forthcoming full-length, originally featured back in late September, the pop songstress announced her intent to “shine bright, like a diamond.” And shine she did; the record earned rave reviews from many Booth regulars, who saw it as a welcome throwback to the artist’s early hits. If you were dazzled by Diamonds, you might want to don shades for the record’s official remix. This time around, Kanye West adds to the luminescence on the guest tip, stunting his way through instantly quotable verses (“It just look stupid to be ignorin’ the Delorean parked in front of Armani Emporium.”) over Stargate and Benny Blanco‘s soaring production. So, has the Bajan hitmaker topped herself with the help of the G.O.O.D. Music head honcho? Debate away—and be sure to cop new album Unapologetic when it hits record stores and online retailers this week.

Kanye West, in my opinion, is just one of those people that consistently proves himself with every track that he puts out. Liked the original and I like this one just about the same, but the Kanye verse definitely puts this one ahead of the original.

Kanye's part was dope. I feel like I haven't been hearing much from him lately.. His flow goes great with the beat of this song (This song by the way is the first good song by Rihanna I;ve heard in a while)

Kanye ripped this one. If Kanye keeps this up, he might go back to his old self. I didn't like the original, but he makes this one so much better. His flow grows great with the beat. Great compliment to Rihanna's vocals.

Kanye's part was so good! It gave me life. I love how energetic he sounded and how his voice and flow moved with the beat. Though, I think it it was a little long for the song itself. But, I still love the song and I would definitely buy it!

I seriously had not been pleased with lots of Yeezy's recent work but this was a marvelous touch 2 this incredibly catchy record! I must've played it like 5 times after I first heard it. Nice mix between his new style and his older stuff.

Kanye guest verse wasn't too bad but I really don't think Diamonds of all other Rihanna songs needed a remix!
