"Look At Her (Killin' 'Em Part 2)" by Fabolous featuring Ryan Leslie and Ne-Yo
I love the original "You Be Killin' 'Em" largely because of the beat and the hook, so I would've rather heard a few MCs drop new verses on that than the whole new track they put together for this, which is OK but ultimately kind of annoying.
Best Verse: n/a
Overall Grade: C+

"S&M (Remix)" by Rihanna featuring J. Cole / "S&M (Remix)" by Rihanna featuring Britney Spears
The former dropped in January and was completely inessential, and then a few weeks ago the latter came out and was a nightmare. I'm not a big fan of the original but Rihanna at least musters an impressive snarl on the chorus and it's absolutely horrific to hear Britney attempt it.
Best Verse: n/a
Overall Grade: D / F

"Till The World Ends (Remix)" by Britney Spears featuring Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha
Another remix involving Britney of a song I didn't like much to begin with, but this one really has a lot of energy and kind of gets across what it felt like the original was going for, especially with one of Nicki's more gnarly and odd verses to date.
Best Verse: n/a
Overall Grade: B
