Like seriously! Why does every rapper feel the need to hop on a hot beat AFTER it has already been remixed…TWICE!? Case in point - - -Drake’s national haters anthem - - “Marvin’s Room“.
Now, I must admit that when I first heard the beat I fell in love. But then I started listening to the songs’s actual lyrics and drunk or not I simply couldn’t co-sign Drizzy’s alcohol fueled hate. No one can argue that the man didn’t create a hot song with an amazing beat, but the song’s message, completely filled with “bitchassness“. ( No offense Drizzy).
Now what happened next is something that is beginning to occur all too often in Hip Hop. Someone had the bright idea and thought to themselves “hey maybe I can make the song better” - — -and thus began the song’s unofficial remix. That remix came courtesy of former pop sensation Jo Jo - - - who surprisingly enough did a pretty good job. But what would a unofficial remix be without an unofficial remix to the unofficial remix? Enter Teyana Taylor. Despite Drizzy’s new track already being hijacked, the 20 -year old singer also shared the same thought as her female counterpart and blessed the internet with her own remix (and video) to Marvin’s Room- -which unfortunately wasn’t as good as its previous two predecessors. (Sorry T T but it’s the truth.)
One would think that with three renditions of one track already being out people would stop the remixes right? WRONG! Quicker than most expected, Marvin’s Room began to become quite cramped! And we all know who came knocking on Marvin’s door for the fourth and most memorable remix….Chris Brown! Now in Chris’ defense - - -his remix should of actually been the original because it blew everyone else’s clear out the water! And I dare someone to say otherwise. Regardless of that fact, we honestly didn’t need to hear another voice harmonizing over “Marvin’s track”. It’s just played out now.
Rappers, singers, vocalists, whomever, can you please… please…please do us all a favor and leave the remixes to the actual artists who crafted the song??? No one wants to hear a million artists laying down their random vocals over the same worn out track. It gets boring and it takes away from the excitement of a possible “official” followup offering.
Marvin’s Room should never be this packed ever again!
