“Certainly (flipped it)” by Erykah Badu
Erykah Badu’s remix of her song “Certainly,” this time entitled “Certainly (flipped it),” was one of the few times we had seen an artist include an original version and its accompanying remix on the same album. The revamped track popped up near the end of the Baduizm album, and with its mixture of the “Summer Madness” sample and some Roy Ayers-like vibraphone work, the song literally flips its slower, more jazz-driven predecessor into a stepper’s dream. The perfect summertime jam, it was lightyears ahead and better than the original.
