US = SNSD + Snoop Dogg????

[just_keep_on]

Numerous world-famous musicians have participated in SNSD’s first U.S. single project, including Snoop Dogg.

I don't know how to feel about this o_o. (Article here on AKP)

[ETA] Listened to the Snoop remix and the first thing that came to my mind was, "Well, that was pointless." -_-; SM, you're transparency (re: just wanna get more money 8D!)

There were previews on amazon for the different versions of The Boys.
The a capella version was indeed just the music-less version of The Boys that they distributed for the remix contest.

I need to see what Snoop did. I listened only to rap until I was 12 (watched BET everyday) so I always get excited when these guys do stuff to K-pop lol.
It's like my past is catching up to my present!

But, uh, yeah, pretty sure all the remixes are based on the original The Boys recording.

Darn it. Boooooooooooring.

I've never really been a fan of Snoop, hence why I'm so hesitant to express a "yay" reaction. I feel also because of the song itself isn't as hard-hitting as it claims/tries to be, creating a rap remix would just heighten that sense of ... underachievement. Though, I know there are some fan rap covers on YT that are supposedly good, but I haven't listened to 'em. (I do remember there being a pretty good Genie rap remix somewhere...)

Ew. Laaaaaaaaazy.

When was the last time SM released a remix album for SNSD (or for any of their groups for that matter)? There was Kissing You, but ... was there anything after that?

More excited about the new versions (of Bad Girl and so on) on the Japanese repackage, to be honest.

Fairly inexplicable strategy re:physical US versions. All the remixes (not Snoop) have been available digitally for a while.

Wait, the Japanese repackage will have remixes of their Japanese album? *is so out of the loop DX*

All the remixes (not Snoop) have been available digitally for a while.
Really. Huh. How many and how are they?
