Posted June 15, 201312 yr I was listening to 'Give Me Everything' earlier and thought how Ne-Yo releasing a Part II version (or including one on his album) was a missed opportunity considering how big GME was. So that got me thinking; what rap songs do you wish had a Part II version (or Part III :lol:) which built sung verses around the hook/chorus? Mine are: Ne-Yo - Give Me Everything (Part II) Bruno Mars - Billionaire (Part II) Rihanna - Run This Town (Part II) Kelly Rowland - Dilemma (Part II) Frank Ocean - No Church In The Wild (Part II)
June 15, 201312 yr Hayley Williams - Airplanes Part II :wub: Beyonce - Lift Off Part II Florence Welch - I Come Apart Part II Taylor Swift - One Of Us Part II I could probably go on, they come to mind almost instantly!
June 15, 201312 yr I think Emeli Sandé - Read All About It Part II(I) is crying out to be done! In all seriousness, the main ones for me are: Emeli Sandé - Diamond Rings Part II Sia - Wild Ones Part II They're the main ones that spring to mind but I'll add anymore that I can think of later.
June 15, 201312 yr Emeli Sandé - Beneath Your Beautiful, Pt. II (feat. Labrinth) Although given she's working with Labrinth on album 2, it's a strong possibility. :kink: Nicki Minaj - Va Va Voom, Pt. II would be FAB.
June 15, 201312 yr ^lol Some random ones: Janelle Monáe - We Are Young (Part II) Kylie Minogue - Higher (Part II) Sia - Dragging You Around (Part II) Katy Perry - If We Never Meet Again (Part II) Lily Allen - True Love (Part II) [this is for Regina]
June 15, 201312 yr Is this basically removing unwanted guest collaborators from a hit and replacing them with more of the favoured artist?
June 15, 201312 yr I don't really see the point of a part II tbh, especially when there's bugger all wrong with the 'part I'
June 15, 201312 yr Sean Paul - What About Us Pt. 2 You know it just has to happen. Sean Paul Feat The Saturdays - What About Us Part 2 *.* Nu Mikey.
June 15, 201312 yr I think Emeli Sandé - Read All About It Part II(I) is crying out to be done! In all seriousness, the main ones for me are: Emeli Sandé - Diamond Rings Part II Sia - Wild Ones Part II They're the main ones that spring to mind but I'll add anymore that I can think of later. Part II should have been done by Emeli, but instead it was Prof Green. :cry: Could you really imagine Emeli going back to her swag Diamond Rings roots though, for a second part to the song? :heehee:
June 15, 201312 yr Is this basically removing unwanted guest collaborators from a hit and replacing them with more of the favoured artist? No, it's removing the main artists from a hit because people prefer the guest collaborator. It's like whenever a rapper has a song featuring a popular female pop star loads of people say 'this song would be better without [the rapper]'. Even though it's the rapper's song. 'Part 2' of songs invariably take away anything that was good about the original and turn the song into a boring mess so I'd rather not have any of them.
June 16, 201312 yr Nu Mikey.Not really, considering yours was just wanting a Sean Paul solo version as opposed to Lee's option of having Sean Paul do majority of the song, with an extra verse by The Sats. (Like Rihanna feat. Eminem 'Love the Way You Lie (Part 2)'.) :P Heard this out in a club tonight (after my request for it :wub:) and realised just how great a part 2 would be: Mya - Ghetto Superstar (Part II) *.* !!

'Part 2' of songs invariably take away anything that was good about the original and turn the song into a boring mess so I'd rather not have any of them. Ah ok, thanks. So, it's still removing an unwanted artist. No one mentioned Eminem - Stan yet? :P Some other pointless ones Erasure - Take a Chance On Me (Part 2) - just MC KinKy FOR THE WHOLE THING Evanescence - Bring Me to Life (Part 2) - just Paul McCoy I do prefer Empire State of Mine (Part 2) so I'm not sure it's always a bad idea.
June 16, 201312 yr 'Part 2' of songs invariably take away anything that was good about the original and turn the song into a boring mess so I'd rather not have any of them. In principle, I totally agree. Love The Way You Lie (Pt 2) was really good but that wasn't a straight example and I love the original hugely anyway. What Emeli did to Read All About It was effectively neuter it of anything interesting, same with what Alicia did to Empire State Of Mind. Instead of turning them into dull piano ballads, a practice like the actual Airplanes pt. 2 is quite good, essentially becoming another version of the song with slightly different performers rather than removing a rapper.
June 16, 201312 yr No one mentioned Eminem - Stan yet? :P Why? We already have 'Thank You'. (Unless you meant dumping Dido from the track?).
