4. Method Man Feat. Mary J. Blige - "You're All I Need To Get By (Puff Daddy Mix)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBW8cvwjkDY According to various stories, Method Man wasn't all that excited about having Mary J. Blige add her extra crossover appeal to his lustful club banger, "All I Need." But then something spoke to him. That something was money. Thankfully money talks, because the Blige remix speaks volumes about how much a sultry groove and a talented vocalist can transform an average song. The original, redundant chant of a hook failed to add any interesting layers to the track, to the point that it left you impatiently waiting for Method to get back to the verses. Mary J.'s contributions (over the hook and in an added verse) skyrocket the song into classics territory. Also, the remix's wise sampling of Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell's identically-titled 1968 soul hit adds a sexy-yet-creepy undertone that's very effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siXunj15hKc
