COMMERCIAL: Eclipse
Dramatic build up with a huge, gaping drop. Think movie trailer or rapid picture montage that ends with blank white. You’ll need some decent speakers to hit the lows, laptop speakers won’t cut it.

Don’t need to say much here – the similarities abound. Personally, I prefer the Tamia original, but adding Fabolous makes this a great match up. Into You has an Ashanti version out there and Hey Ma samples the Commodores. Both rappers can thank the original artists for the song’s popularity.
