With the recent successes of Lil’ Wayne’s Tha Carter III and Nas’s Untitled, industry heads are clamoring about which forthcoming hip-hop release will continue this current upward trend. Could it be The Game’s third studio album, L.A.X.? Or how about Nelly’s oft-delayed Brass Knuckles? Inside the DJ Booth, our money is on Young Jeezy’s September release of The Recession. On the heels of his chart-rising single, Put On, featuring Kanye West, the Atlanta trapstar has contacted former label boss Jay-Z and together they have recorded a brand new remix. Unlike West’s guest verse, however, Hova jokingly asks to have his verse “T-Pain-ed”, but ultimately decides to do away with the over-used voice box. The Recession is set for release on September 2 via Def Jam.
Note: The streaming of “Put On (Remix)” has temporarily been suspended.
YEA JEEZY HELD HIS OWN AGAIN AND JAY-Z WAS GOOD NOTICE THO HE TOOK A SHOT A PRODIGY,BEATS BANGING MAYBE CUDA CHANGED IT UP COZ IT IS A REMIX BUT I CAN DIGG IT..
Did anyone see the vid for the original? Damn, that was strong. He went on with it for his album cover too. This track is sick as hell. Big respect for an actual remix with new verses from Jeezy as well. I think I actually like this version better than the first one, I'd like to have Kanye on this version as well.
coo not da best remix even jezzy verse was kinda low key gaaabage ya dig jay kill it literally with his corny verse ya kno but im entitled to my opinion da world may ride and say its fire yeaa! oh yea but the original was fire.
its aiight jay coulda came harder but i like how he mentioned prodigy how come they didnt put anyone else in the remix dj khaled kinda fits the subject of the song and i can hear T.I. goin hard on dis one
Jay killed dis joint!!!!! Jeezy's part was aight, he did betta on the original. Jay did betta den Kanye! (Jay gets a 5, but the song in general gets a 3)
the original was better. I thought the goal of a remix was to improve the original? this is far worse than the original . jay's verse was refreshign to hear a new voice on the beat but his verse wasnt even that good. thumbs down.
I will say this. The video was mad genius, although it should have been better as far as the direction of the story they were trying to capture. The whole political thing was interesting, but the truth was neither Ye or Jeezy was talking about what they were showing in the video. Jay-Z did his thing on the remix, no doubt. What would have been dope is if the orignal was Jeezy, Yeezy and Jay-Z. But I'll give it to them for this one. It's okay. I don't think the song in general is that great, but that made it do what it do.
Whewww...good thing we didn't hear Hova on the voicebox...then we would know we're screwed. Nonetheless, Hov is fire on this remix. Jeezy's verses aren't as goood as the original by any means, but Jay brings the song to rotation status for me. Still not as good as the original.
Glad Jay didn't get his T-Pain on and just riped it as usual. I agree with most everyone it was cool Jeezy gave us new bars but his original was a little better. Put Kanye on here with Jay and it would make this a classic.Feelin both old and new as bangers tho.
hova da god, i dont expect anything less from hov, he's a legend, and thats what legends do, plus what makes his verse better is that all the @*#$! he says is true
When is saw this track, my jaw literally dropped. Jay killed it! I'm not sure who was better between him and Kanye tho. Ye killed it too. Jeezy was just as strong and I can't wait for Recession.
I miss kanyes Verse! that to me made the track what it is. Jay didn't use the t-pain. Good. Just spittin facts! No more no less! Jay is bigger than just a rapper. Black Trump is still doin it!
I like the original because of how epic it sounded when Ye came in, but I have been informed that on the album its not gonna have the pause of Ye crooning which sucks. Anyway the remix isnʻt bad, Iʻm happy Jeezy dropped new lyrics, even if they werenʻt his best, at least its something new. Jay dropped a decent verse. I liked how they switched up the beat during his verse, that was cool.
IT'S HOT,BUT LIKE YUNG MaGIC SAID JAY-Z WOULD HAVE KILLED IT IF HE DID DA T-PAIN LIKE YE DID!!! THEY SURE DID PUT ON!
I REP THE BIG G SHAWTY AND THE LEGENDARY CHI-TOWN ALL DAY HATERS,BUT THE BIG G IS ALWAYS MY FIRST OPITION CUS RIVERDALE I SEE YOU!! THAT'S WHY MY NAME IS ATL MONSTER!!!
kanye verse was the nicest in the first one(i wud just fast foward to his verse everytime) but ill play this version more...they shud hav recoreded another kanye verse
lol i put a lil tpain on it. i put onnnnnnnnnnnnnn. yeh i gotta say the kanye mix is better, but this kinda makes the song fresh again to me after listenin to the original far too many times, so this is alrite. put my YANKEE CAP ONN!
