Lil Jon and DJ Kontrol have put their own unique twist on Beyonce’s ‘Best Thing I Never Had’. Featuring a verse from Shawty Putt, the revamped track mixes the diva’s passionate vocals with a sample of The Gap Band’s ‘Outstanding’.
Listen to the record below:
This version of the song is actually better than the original. The slow step groove of the sample works well with Beyonce’s vocal lines and resulted in a far more catchy product than Babyface’s forced attempt at creating a Top 40 radio hit. If only we could turn back time and get Beyonce in the studio with Lil Jon instead…

This did nothing for me, but im not a massive fan of the prginal either. the best rendition is the one from the jmmy fallon performance
Loving the Remix..Love you Queen B.
….meh. This is tolerable; but, I’d rather have the original.
I’m sorry, but…Just no….I couldn’t even get through the 1st verse.
…It’s not bad, but it just damn sure isn’t good…It is different but musically the original is better, if she was gonna go this far to recreate the remix then it should have been rerecorded with different vocal lines and layers.
this sound like something mariah would’ve done in the late 90′s
I like da song..always beyonce u do great things..lol
