"All The Above (rmx)" - Maino f/ Young Jeezy
all the above remix - maino ft young jeezy & t-pain
Considering the obvious, thumping southern influence of this track, it's only fitting that an eventual remix with a major southern artist would emerge. For my money, you couldn't have picked a better representative than Jeezy. With Luda having crossed over to a realm where desperation wouldn't sound credible any more, and T.I. too swagger heavy to pull off the theme of this track, the Snowman somehow remains comfortably in between the endpoint of success and the starting point of hunger. The result is a verse that fits the track perfectly. For his part, Maino steps his game up, exchanging his slower, plodding thoughts on his life for a sped up flow that finally has his lyrics on par with the interesting soundscape around it. If remixes have to either be better than the original or different enough to be considered their own innovative take on the song, this track is a successful execution of the former idea.
