Why did T.I. change the hook on Let's Get Away?

[papertrail08]

I was only familiar with the Radio Version until I got the Trap Muzik CD in 06 and the hook was different. Wonder why T.I. changed it.

You can't even find the original version on streaming sites or iTunes anymore.

The Album Version:


The Radio Version:

 

[OfTheCross]

To add a female, bruh.

We tryna make money out here.

Edit. They both got females. Smh. I'm misremembering this shyt.

I like the album girl better

 

[Hersh]

changed the voice of the female?

I heard somewhere that Keri Hilson was the one singing the hook on the album version.

changed the voice of the female?

The way Jazzie Pha sings the hook is also different between versions.

 

[Paper Boi]

probably a label decision

 

[OfTheCross]

TI's girl songs are very good.

 

[YoungSimpson]

The original was better.
He also shouldn't have changed the life's ups and downs hook to Jamie Foxx. His version was way better.

 

[MJ Truth]

The radio version sounds better and more polished.

 

[Romell]

The radio version sounds better and more polished.

Probably wasn't intending on it going to radio so when it did and they spent on money on a video they remastered it and put more money into it.

I'm sure there's other examples of this

 

[jadillac]

The original had jazze phe

 

[Harry Sax]

The OG is the only one I know

 

[triplehate]

Ruined that shyt, I skip it

 

[letti cook]

the og with Keri Hilson is

the remake is unlistenable to me

 

[904]

I remember only hearing the other version after seeing the video.. I had only heard the album version until then...



Another classic
