exclusive new shit: MIA f. Wale “Boyz remix” (2007, 2008 and Bmore version)
Posted The Elitaste on October 10th, 2008 | Filed under Wale, Announcements, Hot New Taste, Some Next Level Taste, Clients
So back in June of 2007 Wale met with Jay while he was still at Def Jam. On the way out of the meeting, MIA’s “Boyz” video came on TV and Jay jokingly said to Wale, “Man I should test you with that beat” as they were walking onto the elevator. Wale had been touring Europe with Ronson for about 2 months at this point and had hung out with MIA so he was already savvy. He went and recorded to it the next day. That song ended up becoming The Bmore Club Slam which Scottie B produced (featured on Mixtape About Nothing). Well, with the recent success of MIA’s “Paper Planes” thanks to the Pineapple Express trailer, Interscope is re-releasing her album with “Boyz” as a single…again. Interscope asked Wale to do a remix and I guess Jay-Z and Akon did ones too. Well now that Jay’s is out we thought, hey, let’s put this out with the verse Wale recorded 3 weeks ago and a brand new verse he recorded today. So below you can find the newest version, the 2007 version and the Bmore version. Enjoy.
Lyrical highlights include:
“I’m comfy as crocs, ain’t talkin no Izod gear”
“I’m so far ahead, you nothing to them till you on Perez”
“Shit, didn’t I do this a year ago?”
