Haha, I bet I know why they didn't use this version. The main hook is sampled directly from The Beatles. Their tune "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" off Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". Here's the original: vCiG7xoEb2Y Check out 1:16 in that link.
This is clearly the unmastered version that didnt make the album. They changed it to Macy Gray singin but Dre still sings the hook. You can tell cuz all the levels are wrong. Dre's too loud on it. It's still hot lol. Dre 3000's best rapper alive!
this was written originally for a woman to sing imo but probably couldnt get macy to sing it outside of Idlewild not to mention that every song in that movie is theirs
This sounds like he did as a diminstration for macy..like pre record it as how he wants macy gray to sing on it...for the final recording for the album...most artist do it as a rough draft...if they are working with other artist

@Rox222001 well he did write it and had to originally record it so macy would know what to sing. so this is the ORIGINAL track not the finished track
