After fans pressed the snooze button on ‘Wake Me Up,’ the Lil Kim-assisted introductory single from Remy Ma‘s long-awaited new album ‘Seven Winters & Six Summers,’ the rapstress is looking to cast her spell on the Billboard Hot 100 with a new song – ‘Melanin Magic.’
Featuring Chris Brown, the horn heavy cut samples Mint Condition‘s iconic 90’s hit ‘Breakin My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)’ and – as ever – features Ma’s envied slick, yet hard-hitting delivery.
Is this just the hit she’s been waiting on? Listen inside and let us know:
IDK about this one yet.
Idk if it’s Chris Brown that makes me not want to appreciate the song or the song isn’t anything until a real flickering effect colorful video showcasing all melanin women would get me to like it.
Sounds more like Chris Browns song ?
Issa No..hanging up already.
It’s better than wake me up but that’s not saying not saying much.
The track is decent. Why was Wake me up released before this??
Not bad! Sounds way better than I thought from the snippet.
Not bad! Cb did that
Her flow is always so lackluster. I didn’t wake up until CB came on, but even his part didn’t move me. It just made the song a tad better. Just a tad.
Exactly what I thought it was going to be… Trash???. This song isn’t about celebrating black women it’s just Remy being cocky. The only good part is Chris and even his vocals aren’t that good on it. Remy’s flow is sooooo trash. Her voice doesn’t go well with that beat at all. I’ll pass
This is ok this may do something on the urban charts but not on the Hot 100.
Not gonna lie but this is WHACK! Nah what is that flow sounds like she got sumin stuck in her throat….I can’t! Not even CB could save this song. Next.
Yooooo…..this young man can’t rap geeeze
Hmmm. Issa NO! Her flow is terrible! Pretty brown eyes is such a melodic song! That hard, offbeat, and raspy cadence she does didn’t work. Her lyrics were basic too. Chris was the only decent thing about this song. Sorry not sorry
Girl serving mediocre music like this exactly what crown do you think you took miss thing.
Right. Lol. You can’t take a crown winning 1 rap battle. Like girl where your hits, where your acalades.
I like this song thanks to chris brown. He did his damn thing. The chorus gives me that good feeling. This will get plenty play on the radio.
Now for Remy. How making a whole song about black beauty sounding angry AF. Like girl soften your voice and stop sounding mad all the time. This is not the time or place to be throwing shots at Nicki, like stay on topic. And we ALL know Rem had work done so please stop with the my body so real bull crap. And lastly her flow was garbage.
i tried, but her flow pulls me out of the song everytime….
This was a waste of opportunity. Chris Brown stole the show on this song. This song is overly produced, especially during Chris Brown’s part. More importantly, Remy did not rap about melanin magic that will resonate with Black millennial women. Instead, she uses this an opportunity to diss Nicki. Remy will continue to lose by keep taking shots at Nicki.
Just as I thought….trash!
Dang Remy! I actually listened to this song without any type of bias and damn!
How does one ruin a quiet storm classic like pretty brown eyes? Her rap doesnt really even go with the music. Chris voice sounds like an auto tuned whiny robot.
History continues to repeat itself.
This is like the female version of LL Cool J vs Cannibus. Cannibus won that one battle but lost the war. He kept going after LL and his entire album threw shots at him. His album flopped and his career was never the same. Remy might want to go back and look at rap history.
2/5 and that’s being generous!
no. i love remy’s energy and vibe, but this track isnt going to do anything in today’s music climate. take another s*** at it sis.
The hate for Remy ma is real. The song is a hit. Oh and to the cardi b fans. Remy is coming for her phony ass. #Teamremymafia #Hot100
#TeamRemyRoaches
Cute message but this song ain’t it. At this rate the album can stay on the shelf tbh.
