When it was originally released last summer, "Whip It" was a loose and casual freestyle featured on iLoveMakonnen's Drink More Water 4 mixtape, amusing if inessential. But now it returns brimming with single potential. The remix features a reworked verse from the recent OVO signee, and its beat is properly mixed this time around, producing an effect similar to finally seeing your favorite film on Blu-ray after watching it for years on VHS.-=-=-=-

But the real draw is the addition of Migos and Rich the Kid, who give the track a manic energy that balances out Makonnen's warble, their performances as hooky as Makonnen's ear-leech of a chorus. Full of characteristically outlandish boasts ("I was 12 with a felony," claims Rich the Kid), the Atlanta rappers offer an affable goofiness not unlike the kind that Makonnen himself trades in. It's a rare breed of remix—the kind that all but replaces the original.
