On one hand, a Gaga remix disc makes sense: Her songs are supple and tuneful enough to handle whatever the beat doctors toss at them. Then again, why mess with Born This Way’s carefully sculpted Eighties pop-rock wallop? The album has some diverting moments. Goldfrapp's down- tempo "Judas" is less a remix than a smart cover, and the Weeknd and Illangelo re-imagine "Marry the Night" as a strobe-y, atmospheric R&B epic. But there are two or three duds for each winner – like the bludgeoning "Scheiße (Guena LG Club Remix)," a gratuitous exercise that strives to make a dance-floor thumper out of a song that was born that way.

    “My President”

    Young Jeezy | 2008

    Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
