    Y'all remember when rappers would have a single out, and then when the video came out, there'd be a bonus verse / "remix" adding a new verse?

    Some examples -

    JAY Z allegedly went back and added his last verse (only in the video version) after hearing Pimp C's verse

    Not sure who COMP is, but he was added to the video version of "Run" by Ghostface Killah

    T.I. added a verse to "Drive Slow" at the request of Kanye. This version ended up a bonus track on T.I.'s "King" album as well.

    Wayne already did the hook on this record, but video version he added a verse as well

    Soon after Drake premiered "The Motto" on radio, a version with Tyga in addition to Drake and Wayne leaked online. They eventually used this version for the music video. This version is a bonus track on one of Tyga's mixtapes.

    The video version of Bling Bling replaced Turk's verse with a verse from Lil Wayne (who previously only did the hook). This was due to Turk not showing up to the studio session to record the clean video version. This would also be the version sent out to radio.

    Get Throwed originally featured JAY Z (he's on album version), but video version replaces him with a back and forth verse from UGK. Assuming this was because he couldn't make it to the video.

    Grew Up a Screw Up video version featured a different verse from Jeezy, than his verse on the album version. This alternate version was later released on a Jeezy mixtape.

    Dope thread and examples @op
    Only one I can think off the top of my head, is the random extra verse starting at 2:13 that Twista added in the middle of the overnight celebrity video.

    Acapella too

  • always found it odd that this MV has an extra verse that’s not on the album

    I’ve never knew Grew Up A Screw Up had a video and all I wanna say is that thumbnail goes so hard

    Bump for quality thread

    Recent example

    On the "Music Video" version of "Body - UK Remix", A Boogie starts with a new verse interpolating SZA. However, this verse is not in the streaming version and instead used his verse from the original song (non Remix)

    opm babi MV got a bonus ad lib

  • Nov 1, 2025

    The music video has a completely different (and much better) Jeezy verse than the album version for some reason

  • Phife got a verse on here instead of Consequence’s verse which is much better. I come back to this version of the song over the album cut.
