Kanye West Releases Justin Bieber ‘Runaway Love’ Remix

Kanye West has finally released his highly-anticipated Justin Bieber remix with Wu-Tang rapper Raekwon.

The collaboration, which began as a kind of joke between Kanye and Bieber over Twitter, is now very real. Starting off with a shoutout to "JB" by Rae and the "Impeach the President" drums sampled by the RZA on Wu-Tang's classic 'Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F--- Wit,' before breaking into Bieber's catchy 'Runaway Love' hook, the song makes far more sense on MP3 than it ever did on Twitter; it's actually pretty catchy.

Rae contributes two verses to the remix, while 'Ye drops one studded with a slew of early Wu references, including "Last name West and my teeth diamonds/ She said 'yo, what's your occupation, crazy rhyming?' a nod to Rae and Ghost's 1995 remix of Jodeci's 'Freek'n You.'

"We was drinking, laughing, being normal cats," Rae said of the recording session. "At the same time, we had a house full of celebrities in the house as well. [Kanye] was moving through the facility, checking out the studios he had. He had three studios in there...You had Akon in the building. Mos Def was just chillin'. Mos is a good friend of 'Ye's. You had Charlie Wilson, the legendary cat from the Gap Band. Chris Rock walked in. These are guys that really respect who 'Ye is."
