For No Mere Mortal Can Resist the Thriller Remixes
Well, maybe some could, but gosh, I’m so clever.
It’s happened already. The Michael Jackson’s Thriller 25th Anniversary bonus remixes have leaked onto the web, and…they’re not that bad. Really.
Will.i.am’s takes on “Beat it” and “The Girl is Mine” are by far the superior tracks. “Beat It” gets a pretty mild make-over when compared to the total hip hop revamp of “The Girl is Mine,” complete with a whole new hook; “She mine, she like the way I rock.” This could probably be a single to promote this record (is anyone else excited to watch Thriller’s sales get a boost? They’ll have to give it it’s own category).
My Poproks is pretty much a stubborn biased bitch when it comes to Kanye West, but…his “Billie Jean” remix is just OK. It’s not much else but “Billie Jean” with the tempo cut in half. Will.i.am’s “P.Y.T” is sort of just there, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Akon’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” is actually pretty good. Akon can be irritating, but his whole..thing; it kind of grows on you ::shrugs::
I suppose, considering it’s effing Thriller, these could not have possibly lived up to expectations. Ma Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo Sa? Yeah.
