The song was really close to the original except it was sung by a woman. The new Jay-Z cover/remix whatever you call it sounds even closer to the original except weaker vocals it would have been much better if it were at least sampled. I'd rather see some of the original artists get credit for their superior work than the half assed covers. It's true that you rarely hear covers better than original songs or even as good as these days.Jebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967618922369755432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-86657498352119564532010-05-25T00:08:32.602-04:002010-05-25T00:08:32.602-04:00I define tribal affiliation as shared risk.
