Amerie Invokes Whodini In 'Why R U' Remix

Amerie's penchant for drawing upon classic Hip Hop has never been more evident than in this remix of "Why R U", which digs back farther than the original with a sample of Whodini's "One Love." We're curious how much of the target audience will appreciate the nod. Also, the track features a motley crew of guest rappers--Nas, Jadakiss, Rick Ross and Kain Cioffe, who was signed to Bad Boy during that Saga Continues period that also promised a Mark Curry release. Oh, and for what it's worth, I like this joint.

Kain being on this is soooooo random! I used to like that joint he was on with the girls Dream back in the day. Even though I have a love/hate relationship with Ross, I dig the track for everything else about it...

Nice joint, this girl is dope, I love her voice. She's like a Marry that can stay in key.

*whopping it out*

This is what she should have released in the first beginning. I'm going pretend the original doesn't exist. Better be on the album. Bonus track or something.

I don't care what ya'll say. Jadakiss' monotone flow is every.single.thing.
