19. Rihanna feat. Vybz Kartel—”Whats My Name” (Remix)

what's-my-name-rihanna-vybz-kartel

Submitted as an official dancehall remix for Rihanna’s hit song with original verses from Vybz, and eventually released as a bootleg, this version of “What’s My Name” shows Kartel’s ability to seamlessly blend dancehall with a chart topping pop hit and move from the slackest, most X-rated lyrics to a radio friendly singalong without missing a beat. —Max Glazer
