. An even shittier version of an already shitty song complete with the amateur wannabe Soundcloud DJ editing and effects Josh seems to love now. It's funny how he made "better" (using the term loosely) beats when he simplified them (WAY BACK HOME, for example), rather than overdoing it.

Damn everyone's hating on this and I don't really mind it. But then again I did quite like the original so I'm probably in a minority on both accounts. Still I probably won't really play this again much, if ever. If the rest of the Purple Picks had been good this would have been a letdown, but since they've pretty much all been huge disappointments (Free Urself very much excepting) this is actually one of the more interesting ones, which again obviously isn't saying much.

Apart from the intro I love the original very much. The remix is ok but not great, but that said it's a million times better than a play list or some other artists track. If every purple pick was a remix I'd actually be fine with that.

Ah fair enough, nice to see another fan of the tune (crappy intro excepting, which seems to be pretty much universally hated. Ah well, easy enough to do an edit to remove it even with my limited Audacity skills.)

Sorry for the caps but that's how it's listed on tidal.

No worries, we won't shoot the messenger. 😄

Is there a remix available?

Sounds like the Rick Rubin remix of jay Z's "99 problems".

I thought Rick Rubin produced the original version of "99 Problems" and that shit and that video are COOL.

Personally I really like the original "PretzelBodyLogic" (if the intro chant acapella chant was cut) and think it's of his more successful forays into catchy pop rock then many others that seem beloved with the fans. It has a Joan Jett "Rock n Roll" pop vibe to it, and the arrangement and vocal patterns are good to my ears.

Just hate that it started acapella.

If this remix sounds like 99 Problems, I'm going to love it. Just last week I was wishing that Prince would work with Rick Rubin on some remixes, or a secret side album. No kidding. Just last week.

Haven't heard it yet as I cancelled the tidal thing already, but, these remixes really should have been part of the promotion for the albums the trax were originally on. They just seem throwaway at this point.

Write another When Doves Cry, write another Raspberry Beret, write another Shockadelica, write another fucking Pope, you purple dipshit. arghhhhhhhhhh. Hard being a fan these days. America laughs at us.

You need to take your meds.

Its not bad. I would prefer the chorus be treated differently, but with this type of song its probably hard to remix. I can jam to this though if im drinking..

only heard the 30 second preview.


doesn't seem any worse than the original.

The original song wasn't that bad I even bought it its a grower, but Imma pass on reloaded

I kind of agree, which makes it an ideal purple pick for when he's got nothing else to put out. I'd rather have a Josh v KirkyJ remix of Jughead than some random track we've had for ages, or a track from some other artist.

This really is shite. I actually love the original version (minus the horrible intro) always have. This though, is pure unadulterated garbage. Stop fucking about and give us some real music again ffs
