Just when you thought Jay-Z had fallen off...
Yesterday I downloaded one of the most interesting pop songs I've ever heard: "Beware of the Boys (Remix)" by Punjabi MC featuring Jay-Z. The song has an Indian bhangra beat mixed in with the Knight Rider theme. Jigga raps over the first verse and then the rest of the song is a rap/sung combo in a language that I don't understand. Apparently, the original version of the song is a big club hit in Europe and then Jay-Z added his vocal stamp of approval for the Stateside remix. It's definitely the best thing I've heard along this vein since Truth Hurts' "Addictive" last year. Here's hoping the song blows up so that for once we can hear some diverse beats on the radio.
