'Scream & Shout (Remix)' by will.i.am featuring Britney Spears, Diddy, Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka Flame and Hit-Boy

Riding the Princess of Pop's coattails to earn a few more coins, will.i.am has decided to release a remix of the club track 'Scream & Shout' that has gone to #1 in England and is currently sitting pretty at #4 on iTunes, and he turned it into a rap track. First of all, the song doesn't lend itself to the rap genre AT ALL, and also the song is destroyed even further by adding four rappers. Whatever semblance there was of Britney in the original is now gone. She sings for less than a minute in this new remix which is a shame. I usually don't mind when you add a rapper to spice up a song, but this one failed on so many levels. For me, it's not even about who is featured on the song, it's more the fact that the song was a club track that does not easily convert itself into a rap track. will.i.am is milking it even more by filming  a music video for the song. The one thing about that which makes me happy is Britney is also filming new scenes so we will get to see more of her flawless beauty. Please stop Will. We don't want you ruining Brit's career anymore.

  1. no entiendo por que dices que no se ve bien este remix ami concepto esta muy bien conformado mas con esos 4 raperos a los que pareces no caerte bien, esa canción se presta para ese remix y mucho mas como lo sacaron no digo que valla a dar igual de resultados que la original pero, para los que escuchamos rap en ese caso si es buena canción, pero igual cada uno tiene una forma de ver las cosas...(saludos desde colombia "lenguaje español")
