Quote Of The Day – Drake: ‘JoJo’s Marvin’s Room Remix Was Shocking’

Published: Tuesday 13th Sep 2011 by David

Now one of the year’s most well loved releases, Drake‘s smash hit ‘Marvin’s Room‘ saw a plethora of artists from all walks of creative life put their spin on the moody love song in homage to the Rapper.

However, according to the Young Money Prince one particular reworking of the song stood out to him far more than the others did.

Find out  exactly what he had to say about Pop starlet JoJo‘s version of the number, below…

Speaking to Paper Magazine, he explained:

It was really shocking, I think, for her audience since throughout her career she’s been kind of stereotyped as this teen pop star and then she comes out with this different kind of substance.

Going onto reveal:

It’s very rare that people take your song and do it over like that.

  2. B4REAL2 September 13, 2011

    Yeaaaaa JOJO!!!! Honestly I think I like her version better than his……

  3. ~Bey-utiful Nation~ September 13, 2011

    Yes, her version is better than his!

  4. Auntie Jackie September 13, 2011

    Jojo smashed it. She is a great singer–a pop tart with a real soul.

  5. tweetypiebabe1 September 13, 2011

    I’ll echo the first poster,

    Yupp. She’s a beast.

    <3 that girl!

    Of course he would say that.Her version is more popular than his and the only reason why Marvin’s Room is “one of the year’s most well loved releases” is because JoJo slayed it.Hell, it wouldn’t even be a “release” if JoJo hadn’t taken it to the next level.Drake would just leave it there as a viral song and his version underperformed heavily, so…

    Her version>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  8. industry drama qween September 13, 2011

    Yes her version shits n is proof that she should be making some urban cuts

  9. candice September 13, 2011

    First off, this song is hot just as Drake’s version is, it’s just the hott female spin on it. Good job JoJo. Second, to the hater before that said the only reason Drake’s version was hot is because of this, needs to stop lieing to themselves.

    P.S.
    JoJo done grown up yall!

  10. Malibu Barbie September 13, 2011

    Drake should have shot a remix video with her in it, since it got so much BUZZ.
    LMFAO use ur head drake.. the song cudda shot higher on the charts and help put jojo back on the map

  11. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 13, 2011

    @CANDICE Stfu.I am no hater, I just watch the charts.There is a reason why Drake didn’t release it before JoJo got millions of views.And I’m not shading anybody, I’m just saying the truth.The song was out there before JoJo so if radios wanted to pick it up, they would, but they didn’t.

  12. ANTHONY September 13, 2011

    he should just remix it with her period…

  13. September 13, 2011

    Haha even drake like JoJos version the best. People were hating on JoJos version because she was white. JoJo killed that Sh*t, just admit it.

  14. Gumaro September 13, 2011

    Jojo does extremely well with making songs her own, listen to her versions of “Rain” “Can’t Believe It” and “Beautiful Girls”, excluding “Rain” I like her versions better than the originals.
