“Hot Like Fire Remix” by Aaliyah
This one is difficult to call, but Aaliyah’s “Hot Like Fire” remix comes, I’ll say, very close to surpassing the greatness of the album version. The original, slower, but smoother, is accented by what sounds like some Doug E. Fresh-like beatboxing and a beat reminiscent of the New Jack Swing era thanks to Timbaland. But its remix was definitely a quintessential summer banger. The late songstress covered the remix with a lot of attitude, and from the looks of the video, some effortless dance moves. Ciara eat your heart out! This one still gets played constantly on my iPod. But which version do you think is better?
