Kanye West Reworks "Billie Jean" For Thriller Anniversary Album

Here's a sample* of the "new" material that will be on the 25th anniversary re-release of Thriller, which includes, in addition to this Kanye West-produced remix of "Billie Jean," will.i.am's remixes of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "The Girl Is Mine," and "P.Y.T." The "Billie Jean" remix sounds good enough, I suppose, but I'm not sure why I would listen to Kanye's version instead of the original. I guess I was hoping for at least a verse from our boy. What do you think?

I like it! Rhymefest has a mixtape coming out called Mark Ronson Presents Rhymefest, Man in the Mirror and it has a bunch of MJ beats on it. Should be hot.

PYT has been re-made, stolen, and whatever else you want to call it many, many times already. They could probably just throw one of those re-makes on that album as a bonus.

Hit up the Blogspot for music, hit me up for requests… I got the album already and the remixes are produced, you wont reall hear the feature… But still a great addition to a current classic…

Didn't love it. i don't really see why this song is great in some people's eyes. The original was good, but just because you add a drum beat and slow it down doesn't make it better. Poor attempt Kanye and I'm really not used to saying that.
