Travis "Travie" McCoy - Billionaire (Remix)
Artist: Travis "Travie" McCoy
Featuring: Gucci Mane , T-Pain , Bruno Mars
Producer: Ari Levine & Bruno Mars
Album: Lazarus
Label: Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen/Nappy Boy/Atlantic
Unless Jay and Beyoncé adopt him, becoming a billionaire’s probably out of the question, but if pervasively tattooed Travie McCoy keeps making hits like his lead single Billionaire fame and wealth undoubtedly await, and it turns out Mr. McCoy isn’t the only one with ten figure dreams; formerly-imprisoned Gucci Mane and McCoy’s Nappy Boy mentor T-Pain are also chasing big budget dreams on the Billionaire (Remix). While Travie’s verse work and Bruno Mars’ insanely catchy hook remain untouched, somewhat unfortunately, here the original’s Ari Levine and Bruno Mars production is substantially stripped down, while Pain tacks on a typically humorous and Auto Tuned guest verse (do I want to know what his ball cleaner does?) and Gucci, well, does what Gucci does (it’s the only thing he knows how to do). Personally I don’t feel like it’s any contest - the original’s much better, but I’m sure that, as always, the rest of the Booth will set me straight if I’m wrong. Travie’s pretty damn good new album Lazarus, which does not contain the Billionaire Remix, is available now.

Upon first listen I shortchanged the original version of this song and only gave Travie a 3-rating. After listening to "Billionaire" what seems like a billion times, I realize I should have been more generous and posted up a 4.
While I'd like to ammend my earlier rating by giving more props to the remix, sadly I cannot. Gucci Mane's vocals don't mesh well with the vibe of the record and the slightly changed production becomes a little too island-ish for any of the performers. Sometimes things just need to be left alone, feel me?

Nice try by Gucci and T-Pain, but honestly the original is better. Something just doesn't work right here.

Ehhhh.....Had I not listened to this, I might not have been worse but it sure didn't make anything better. It was just mehhh. Original is better, no contest. This one probably shouldn't have happened.

Seems like it's a consensus. The original really grew on me, but this one's lacking the same energy, and frankly Gucci's verse is eminently forgettable. Pass.

Everyone seems to be middle of the pack on this one. I have to diverge. This is HORRIBLE, and I like to think I don't say that much. TPAIN and Gucci just don't fit in any part, way, shape or form in this song. Why did they have to do this!?!?

NO...just no, original is way better, and whoever thought of the idea to put Gucci in this song, or any song is stupid. If anything they should of put like Wyclef and Lupe....as long as it wasnt this pair, much respect to T-pain, Travie, and Bruno though.

Gucci Coochy Coo! Why do you rap Gucci? Did someone once tell you that you were good? They lied. It seems unfair that legends like Pac and Biggy get taken out and people like Gucci carry on living and wasting breath on guest verses like this one. If only Gucci and Soulja Boy could get into a beef and take each other out! T-Pain's verse is quite cool though. And while the production isn't as good as the original, at least it's still smooth and fresh. Would've been nice to hear a new Travie verse though- a remix should mean everyone remixes their previous stuff. 3 stars- one each for Bruno, Travie and T-Pain.

It’s simple to see why the original is much better and I don’t know why people keep letting Gucci on their songs. The man cannot rap.
