When we featured Attention: Deficit single-to-be Pretty Girls back in summer of ‘09, Booth readers and staff couldn’t think of anything bad to say about the catchy, Go-Go-influenced cut – of course, that was before the Gucci Mane feature was added. Wherever you stand on the rapper born Radric Davis, it’s hard to argue with the talent that’s replaced him on the official remix. Booth-acclaimed R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn kicks off this revamp with a soulful guest verse, claiming that “My Chocolate City’s got the prettiest girls,” before passing the mic to DMV favorite Phil Adé, who boasts “I come from a town where the girls got girlfriends.” Complete with a slightly less controversial bridge (The “Ugly girls be quiet” line’s been revised), Pretty Girls (Remix) should get rave reviews from those who four and five-starred it the first time around. Better than the album version? That’s for you to decide. Attention: Deficit is out now in stores and online, and fans should keep it locked to our front page for details on a forthcoming, Booth-sponsored project from Phil Adé.

Gucci obviously got put on the remix to attract some radio attention, and I can't hate on that, but this version is unquestionably better. No question. DMV stand up!

I actually like the album version better, Gucci wasn't bad on this, he was better than Raheem DeVaughn, imo. Still a banger.

Yeah I definitely think this was better than the orignal. Raheem was a great start to this track. Wale should have come with a new verse, but this, nevertheless, was really good.

Fly Gypsy is set to release another burner from its upcoming project, FG*XL:remixtape. In its take on Wale's "Pretty Girls," Washington, D.C.’s duo builds on the playfulness of the original track while introducing a smart message that many women will appreciate – that they are more than just mindless “pretty girls.”
Leaving little doubt that smart is sexy in the Fly Gypsy world, Kom does not mince words: “She was a dumb diva, had to get up and leave her/ I can get to score easy but get bored easier.” Rhyming about a “foreign shorty” whose body “could have made America’s most wanted list,” Kom laments, “She held my attention like it had a handle on it / But couldn’t hold a conversation if it had a handle on it/ Shorty, you look good, but can you read a book good?” Not only is the song's new message pointer, but its sound is also more club-friendly, courtesy of additional production from Alexei. “I had a hard time deciding on the additional touches because the track is already so rich,” says Alexei. “So, I put on my DJ hat and asked myself ‘What would make this track translate better in a club.’ The answer came immediately – some subtle yet sticky synth lines to give the track more drive. So I did my magic and now challenge anyone to not get up and dance when they hear this.” |
