Time for another round of remixes. Here's Vol. 1 from earlier in the year, and the 2021 remixes Spotify playlist with every track I've covered so far. 

I don't know what's worth, Masked Wolf's new verse or G-Eazy riffind on Masked Wolf's verses from the original. Surprisingly the "Moonwalking in Calabasas" guy does a decent verse, though. 

"Body" is a big UK rap song that already had one posse cut remix where the only American was Fivio Foreign, which made some sense since he's one of those Brooklyn drill guys who raps on the same kind of beats all the time. Hearing Jack Harlow on this track is just weird, though, dude is not versatile at all and sounds like he's been beamed in from another song even if he gets on a nice run in the second half of his verse. 

Not a big fan of Tiller or this song, but he was a good choice for the remix, really fits the vibe of it. 

Now here's a beat that Jack Harlow sounds natural on. The original "Killer" is awful because Eminem makes one of those awkward occasional overtures to making a contemporary-sounding club rap song but his attempt at a restrained flow just makes the stupid punchlines sound worse, but on the remix the guests set the tone, and then Em comes in at the end with a long indulgent verse that somehow feels less forced than what he did on the song before. But he tries to clear the air on that weird feud he had with Snoop Dogg, and he was lame for ever taking offense to what Snoop said. 

The original "No Plans For Love" is a pleasant cruise ship R&B jam that sounds like it was made for Snoop Dogg to rap over, so the addition of Snoop to the remix feels like a no-brainer that makes the song sound more complete. 

In December, Lil Baby released his first two new solo singles since My Turn made him into a superstar, and I'm annoyed that "On Me" became by far the bigger hit of the two and got a remix with Megan Thee Stallion, because "Errbody" is much better and actually has a reference to Meg already. Her verse is solid but I still hate that beat and the hook. 

I didn't think Coi Leray would be a good fit for this song but it kind of works. 

I was starting to think that The Weeknd would never get another hit from After Hours after "Blinding Lights" because "In Your Eyes" disappeared quickly even with the Doja Cat remix and "Blinding Lights" just kinda kept going and going. But "Save Your Tears" was doing pretty well even before the remix took it to #1. "Love Me Harder" was a classic so I'm annoyed that Ariana and The Weeknd reunited for this song because it always sounded like sour milk to me, what a lousy song. 

I ridiculed "Slow Clap" when it first came out but most people didn't ridicule it until the version with Saweetie came out a month later. Either way, just a laughably bad song. 

Billboard lists the original Fredo Bang solo track on its airplay charts but every time I've heard it on the radio it's been the remix, and it's really Lil Durk's best verse from his recent hot streak of features, he brings a lot of emotion and personal experience to the song. 

"Track Star" is a pretty dumb song to begin with, and it feels like Chris Brown should know better than to get on a song about a woman running away from a man, but of course Chris Brown never knows better. 

It's been less than a year since Huey was shot and killed, so it's kind of depressing to hear a "Pop, Lock & Drop It" sample. DreamDoll killed her verse, though, I hope she's the next female rapper that blows up because she's definitely the best of the 'doll' rappers. 

This song sucks and Miley on it just makes it suck even more, I'm sure she thought it was really cool and edgy to sing the "can't make a wife out of a ho" part.
