Since its release in late August, Talib Kweli’s new album, Eardrum, has only sold slightly more than 200,000 copies worldwide.  Clearly, the amount of eardrums Kweli was hoping to invade was a much higher number.  Despite a much heavier dosage of radio and video play than Kweli is accustomed, the album’s second single, Hot Thing, failed to turn sales.  While Kweli enjoys his craft for the artistic relevancy, and not just a paycheck, a solid body of work always deserves to be compensated.  To help matters, Kweli has remixed Hot Thing with the poignant singing of Ne-Yo and the underground rhymes of female rapper, Jean Grae.  The remix is almost never better than the original; allow me to introduce the exception to that rule.

I love what they did to the production and hook to suit the R&B/soul styles of Ne-Yo and Jean Grae. Radio stations will definitely spin this! It's way better than the original and Talib always does a great job on these romance tracks. Hopefully he will release a new single in the future, Eardrum is crazy good.

What a chill track to vibe to. Ne-Yo steps his game up, along with the others. I liked the original, but this remix is a lot better. They should make a video but that may be too mainstream and pop for Talib

he deserves so much more than he gets because he's not a "rapper" he's a hip hop artist. his flow is over so many people's heads though...

This remix has a dope beat, as good s the original with a great vibe, can be chill or even a little more uptempo. I like it!
