Wyclef Jean's remix of AOBTD

WHAT

THE

HELL?


Don't get me wrong, I'm not averse to hip-hop...but it just doesn't fit at all here!

More than that.

Only the Freddie parts are good.

::shudders:: why, oh why, did you have to bring *that*... thing up?

"It is pretty poor."

Piss poor even.

Well, it's a similar situation for Aerosmith fans on how Eminem sampled "Dream On" in one of his songs. Maybe if this persuaded some hip-hop or rap listeners to check out Queen/Aerosmith/classic rock, then I guess it did some good.

Good point, RainMustFall!

I kind of like this version... *hides*

Eminem sampling Dream On I could tolerate, but I don't like Wyclef Jean in AOBTD...

I'm sorry for bringing it up. I just heard it for the first time today and I had to vent a bit. I'm not really personally offended by it, but IMO it's just...bad.

Like I said, there's quite a bit of rap/hip-hop that I enjoy, but it's just so disjointed and makes no sense within the context of the Greatest Hits III album. I mean, it's bookended by Princes of the Universe and No-one But You...totally out of place. I would've liked to see Scandal or Love Kills on the album instead of this "shoulda been just a b-side" mix.

It sucks...
At least the video is pretty funny.

Haven't heard any hip hop song using samples of some rock classics that was good...
Actually- I'm still to hear ANY good hip hop song...;)

I thought that one that used Every Breath You Take was one of the (if the only) better ones. Forget who did it now

Puff Daddy (aka P Diddy) did, who also did...

...Come With Me, which sampled Zeppelin's Kashmir, which I was just about to mention :-P

I love it! Seriously. I hate 98% of all rap/hip-hop music (and I hate all rappers) but this one is really cool.

*ponders* I don't think I like any hip-hop, actually.
Well... I used to love Gangsta's Paradise as a youngster, but that's about it...
