Mariah Carey [ft. T.I.]"I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" (Remix)
A couple months ago, we named "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" the best track on MC's recent E=MC2 album and while this new remix doesn't necessarily make it that much better, we'll never complain about a breezy T.I. verse. The rapper is in "My Love" guest shot mode here, offering his lady expensive gifts (though we're pretty sure Mariah can buy her own Louis Vuitton). Still, the beat — produced by T.I. buddy DJ Toomp — is the star: perfect for your top-down beach drives and/or the soundtrack to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Mariah is in a pure pop mood, keeping her trademark vocal runs in check while sticking close to the melody. A late, great entry into the Song of the Summer Sweepstakes.
