вЂњAt Your Best (You Are Love)вЂќ (Gangsta Child Remix)Д®dd said: вЂњOne two checka, baby lemme know whatвЂ™s uppppp.вЂќ Yeah, the R. Radio stations LOVED this song in my city.вЂќДЎ2.

This remix feels nothing like its predecessor, focusing on the party instead of the after-hours hookups.вЂќД®dd said: вЂњThe original version of вЂњAnythingвЂќ was a slow burner but the remix received a total hip-hop makeover, complete with The Wu bringing the ruckus. LilвЂ™ Kim featuring Angie Martinez, Lisa вЂњLeft EyeвЂќ Lopes, Da Brat and Missy ElliottД®dd said: вЂњIf youвЂ™ve ever heard the original version of KimвЂ™s вЂNot Tonight,вЂ™ you can understand why itвЂ™s not exactly radio-friendly. Puffy didnвЂ™t require much heavy lifting on this outing вЂ“ just adding some of the eraвЂ™s hottest rappers to an already blazing track was enough to take it to another level.вЂќ This remix was even more smooth than its source material.вЂќД®dd said: вЂњYeah, thereвЂ™s a reason why Bad Boy is dominating this list. That alone makes it pretty special.вЂќД®dd said: вЂњMost вЂ™90s remixes were like summer blockbuster movies вЂ“ bigger, louder and flashier. Not only does this feature one of the best beats of the 90s вЂ“ bar none вЂ“ itвЂ™s was also the first time mainstream audiences heard The Notorious B.I.G. Super Cat featuring 3rd Eye, Puff Daddy and The Notorious B.I.G.Д®dd said: вЂњIt seems that this banger has become lost in the mists of time. Rappers are STILL swiping lines from it.вЂќДЎ7.

Give props to BIG, who drops an effortlessly iconic verse here. and Ma$eД®dd said: вЂњThis is our first example on our list where a remix has almost totally erased memories of the original track. The original track was destined to be a pop hit, but JD added urban flair by inserting Xscape and Brat, backed by a subtle mix of SOS BandвЂ™s вЂTell Me If You Still Care.вЂ™ It appealed to both pop and R&B audiences.вЂќДЎ12 featuring The Notorious B.I.G. Mariah Carey featuring Xscape and Da BratД®dd said: вЂњJDвЂ™s a master. Thank Foxy for that вЂ“ her verse jumped from gold-digging to venereal diseases, turning heads and launching her career.вЂќ LL Cool J featuring Prodigy, Fat Joe, Keith Murray and Foxy BrownД®dd said: вЂњGrimey posse cuts were commonplace in the вЂ™90s but this one stands the test of time. Honorable mention: Mariah Carey featuring Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz, вЂњMy All/Stay AwhileвЂќ (So So Def Remix) LL Cool J featuring Total, вЂњLounginвЂ™ (Who Do You Love)вЂќ Remix Janet Jackson featuring Blackstreet, вЂњI Get LonelyвЂќ (Remix) Total featuring Da Brat, LilвЂ™ Kim and Foxy Brown, вЂњNo One ElseвЂќ (Puff Daddy Remix) DвЂ™Angelo featuring AZ, вЂњLadyвЂќ (Remix) Jodeci featuring Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, вЂњFreakвЂ™N YouвЂќ (Remix) I donвЂ™t wanna have to wild out, itвЂ™s the day after MotherвЂ™s Day. If you run up in my mentions complaining about JoeвЂ™s вЂњStutterвЂќ or Jagged Edge wedding songs being forgotten, stop over at Wikipedia and check the dates of those tracks. The list was determined by song quality, longevity (if itвЂ™s still memorable 20 years later, chances are it made the cut) and superiority over the original.ДЄnd remember, children, this list is of remixes from the 1990s.

Honestly I could have listed 50 вЂ“ there was just that much quality back then. LetвЂ™s look back at 20 of the best remixes from that beloved era. In the 90s, remixes were often so good вЂ“ and so omnipresent вЂ“ that they totally eclipsed the original versions of the songs they represented. Yes, playa, that remix struggle was real in the 90s. Remember copping an artistвЂ™s album, looking forward to hearing that song that you loved hearing on the radio day in and out, only to discover that the album version of that song sounded NOTHING like the radio version you had grown to love?
