First off, this is not the "Special Delivery Remix" with Ghostface, Keith Murray, & Craig Mack, but this 12" is not without purpose- especially for those dj' s that go the extra mile. Where the hotter remix has an unreliable intro, this one(1) is locked & extended with P. Diddy turning into the Hulk with a mohawk, pre-marathon. It still has those cool acid hi-hats, and you should have this in the same sleeve as the Ghost remix at all times. Strangely "Special Delivery" didn't hit as hard in NYC as it did elsewhere, but it'll still have the wall street thugs tearin it up. A similar situation comes on the b-side, with P Diddy's "Bad Boy For Life Remix(2)" ft. Busta Rhymes & MOP. Enlisting the genre's biggest fire-starters, coupled with a reworking of that gritty guitar loop, cements the hands-in-air appeal. Instrumental version included for b-side.
