Usher Wanted Lil Wayne And Beyonce's 'Love In This Club' Remix To Be 'Crazier Than The Original'
Usher has been making some boss moves for his latest LP, Here I Stand. Who else can commandeer appearances from both Jay-Z and Beyoncé, not to mention Will.I.Am, Young Jeezy and Lil "This is th-the remix baaaa-baaaay" Wayne?
"The remix to 'Love in This Club' features the Queen and ... one of the illest," Usher began to tell MTV Base of the version featuring Wayne and Beyoncé, whom he's dubbed the Queen of R&B.
Trumpeting Weezy F. Baby, he said, "Wayne, pound
for pound, is one of the illest in the game, and I wanted it to be something that would be a surprise, be a shock. Have shock value. That's what the remix is all about. 'Damn, did you hear the remix? It's crazier than the original. I like it more.' I just think it's great. Plies actually did a verse on it as well. He came with it. Everybody basically did their thing, and I am very happy that I was able to put that one in."
Although it's still unclear whether or not Ush will be dropping a video for his mega-reworking, he just let loose a video for another single, "Moving Mountains." The clip starts exactly where the video for the original "Love in This Club" ends, with Ush walking out of a steamy nightspot only to see everything around him — including the venue he just exited — in shambles. In "Moving Mountains," he has to climb to the highest peak to find his love.
Here I Stand comes out on Tuesday (May 27). The singer also confirmed to MTV Base what Polow Da Don told MTV News several weeks ago: that Polow was responsible for putting Young Jeezy on "Love in This Club," a move Usher obviously didn't mind.
"Jeezy is one of the greatest rappers of our generation," the singer noted.

The Ting Tings' former label responds to 'cash in' claims
Switchflicker Records, the record company that released 1,000 vinyl copies of The Ting Tings' single, 'That's Not My Name'/ 'Great DJ' last year, have responded to claims by the band that they are now cashing in on the band's success.
The Ting Tings were critical on their blog about copies of their first release currently being sold at inflated prices - however, the label insisted they are doing nothing wrong as they own the stock and were selling selling remaining copies in line with the record's current value.
"Switchflicker Records supported The Ting Tings in the early stages of their career and released 1,000 copies of their debut single ('That's Not My Name'/'Great DJ') in June of last year," they explained in a statement. "Switchflicker has the invoice, order form and credit card receipt to prove that the label paid for these and not The Ting Tings. These seven-inch vinyl copies were sold at �2 each.
"Switchflicker is selling the remaining stock (which the label owns) at today�s market price. People have already sold unsigned copies for �50 on eBay)."
The label added that they were surprised the band had criticised them bearing in mind their financial status.
"The Ting Tings recently signed to Columbia Records for a reported �???," they said. "Switchflicker is, by contrast, a small independent label which has made no profit in respect of releasing the single, which brought the band to everyone's attention. Switchflicker wishes them well."
