Mary J. Blige x Swizz Beatz “Fancy” (Original Version)

So I was inspecting my Drake CD packaging today (you get to when you actually purchase music) and noticed an additional vocals credit to Mary J. Blige on TML‘s track 7. Not covered in the otherwise extensive and excellent making of piece in Complex (NCB and the crew are focused daily), was that apparently Swizzie offered the Queen this track first. Hmm. Anyways, I think with 40’s breakdown added to it, this song ended up where it needed be. No harm, no foul.
Heads Up: Aziz’s Favorite
UPDATE: Four months later. No tags.
thats sad when u offer MJB a song n a DUDE takes it. … this is the gayest track on TML the rest of the album is fine. 7/10 its whatever.
RECOVERY 6-21 … ALBUM OF THE YEAR
act all high and mighty cause you paid 10 bucks for a shitty album.
thank god swizz passed that to drake…cus now its actually a good song…that boy tip when in on that shit 2
tip def ripped it but the hook is so wack
what y’all smokin? shit’s crakk
swiss is annoying as fuck…
he thinks that everybody likes him on the tracks…
he and Dj Khaled have to shut the fuck up…
go produce your beats and stay quiet…
YN. I know you are into breaks and samples, so…I think that this track that Swizz produced has something to do with a track (Very Fancy) from the South African group (Die Antwoord).
I know Swizz said he was going abroad for music inspiration. I think he sampled or lifted elements of that song.
What do you think?
here is the link for the song.
(Of course, there is nothing wrong with sampling a song if the originator is getting their “just due”. This is just an observation.)
YN, you’re kinda the pro at this. What do you think?
^
I’ll save ya sometime YN… Not at all bro… Pretty far of a reach
Lol is thank me later full of left overs? “Miss me” was Bun b song, “Find your love” was a 808`s left over from Kanye and now this?
@mike nope thats not the sample @ all
The real sample is “i dont want to play aroun” by ace spectrum. You cant findit on the net i would love to hear it, i know this because i got the cd and it lists the sample there lol
Actually, Complex did mention it…on the TML Preview post from a few weeks back. And yes, we are just that focused.
@TOM,
Exactly. lol.
Drake doesn’t need our support anyway. I’m sure Baby or maybe someone even higher up the hierarchy is gonna buy 300,000 copies anyway.

Goes to show you how talented dude really is. He took it and made it a hit. And Swizz winning right now. Stfu
Idk where the swizz hate comes from either. All the tracks he’s been on this past month have been fire and really helped out. On the “so appalled” update, who honestly wasn’t fucking with that “one hand in the air” chant? That was some real shit in those few bars.
They shoulda just made it Mary J’s….
sounds way better than the track on drake’s album.
