Metro Boomin’ Drops Throwback Remix of “Creepin'” with The Weeknd, 21 Savage, and Diddy
Hip-hop fans were treated to a surprise remix of Metro Boomin’s collaboration with 21 Savage and The Weeknd, “Creepin’.” This updated version of the hit song is infused with a feeling of early 2000s nostalgia, thanks to the interpolation of a classic heartache anthem, “I Don’t Want To Know,” by Mario Winans, Diddy, and a vocal sample from Enya.
Almost two decades later, Diddy revisits his original verse, lending a special feel to the song. The “Creepin'” remix features the standard verses of The Weeknd’s recreation of Winan’s verses, Enya’s haunting vocals, and an original verse by 21 Savage. But the new remix now includes Diddy’s new verse.
In the original version, Diddy laments the thought of his woman cheating, but this time around, the hip-hop mogul is assured as he raps about his billionaire status, “They ain’t real, ain’t they ain’t Puff / Ain’t a place in this world that my feet ain’t touch / I got visions that cost millions and make billions / Baby girl, we can make love or make trillions.”
This union across two generations of hip-hop is a pleasant surprise for fans who appreciate the throwback vibes of the new remix. And it proves that great music can stand the test of time, even after almost 20 years. The updated version of “Creepin'” is a testament to the longevity of hip-hop and how it continues to evolve and inspire new generations of artists.
