I came here too because I found out that freek-a-leek was meant to be for usher and they were making “yeah!” based off this beat. Interesting to hear what could have been
Per Cipha Sounds: Freak A Leak was the original for Yeah. Mixtape DJs and Radio jockeys got a hold of Petey Pablo Freak A Leak and started playing it. Lil Jon and Ursher had to go back into the studio and make a new beat. Muted the melodies and kept the drums. Used same sounds and created a new melody giving us what we now know at the Yeah beat.
Found out from Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg that this was originally for "Yeah". Glad Freak a Leek got "leaked" and Lil Jon gave Usher a better melody.
Lil Jon was definitely right it’s a better song because they had to remix it. It just has more energy. But this beat fits the Petey Pablo song better too.
Lol whats funny is i really do like this but i kept waiting for the "how you like it daddy"....🤣🤣🤣. It might just be my mind but for that 1 thing.... P Pablo wins on this beat for me😅
I like the released version of yeah better than freak-a-leek, but I agree with this particular beat I think Petey Pablo did it better. But it might just be bias because I’m used to the other version!
