One of our favorite songs and videos from 2011 has just been taken to the next level with the release of the remix for Gods’illa‘s already hot single “You Don’t Have To Be A Star.” This time, in a move that harkens back to an era where remixes were made to give a song a longer shelf life, the fellas recruited a royal bit of estrogen to the party in the form of legends Bahamadia, Monie Love and MC Lyte, who sprinkle their goodness all throughout.
In case you forgot, the song is part of a mixtape put together by the group and hosted by Erykah Badu aka DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown, who also adds vocals to the track.
I tell you what, 2011 was a superior year for music. 2012, however… the first few days have given us some strong tracks already. Check the remix below, and then the original video, which was pretty damn dope on its own. Enjoy.
Gods’illa feat. Maimouna Youssef, Bahamadia, Monie Love & MC Lyte “You Don’t Have To Be A Star (remix)”
