Plus, those drums makes for the perfect segue in between the stomping sounds of two of the album’s most single-ready moments: “Run The World (Girls)” and “End Of Time.” The original mix is a much more lively affair thanks to a kicking drum sample from Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick‘s 1985 track “The Show” (along with those gorgeous piano notes in the chorus!), adding some good ol’ ummph to Bey’s scathing “I’m so over you now” delivery. While a song rarely ends up sounding as originally intended, it looks like the songwriters were really gunning for “Best Thing I Never Had” to maintain its punchier, rocky mid-tempo origins. The drums from “The Show” are what made me write to this song in the first place! Enjoy! But, this is what the song sounded like when we wrote it! I like this version…. I’m both thrilled & grateful that #TeamBey decided to make our song the single and it sounds awesome…. Just this afternoon, one of the song’s main co-writers, Patrick “j.Que” Smith, posted the original mix of “Best Thing I Never Had” on his Tumblr with the following explanation: The original version of “Best Thing I Never Had” is completely different from the final version that wound up on the final tracklisting for Bey’s latest studio album, 4. and have u seen her without makeup dawg?.Okay, SO: Y’all know Beyonce‘s current single–the power ballad, “Best Thing I Never Had”? Sewww good, right?ĮVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER KNOWN IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE. This is the single most shit composure of trashy basic lyrics combined with abhorently over-fried and exaggerated lyrics with out of tune piano and shes gonna fuckin pretend nobody noticed.
