Christian ‘King’ Combs recently released a teaser to a remake of LL Cool J’s song ‘Luv U Better.’
The rapper took to Instagram to share a snippet of the song and a visual featuring his girlfriend, Raven Tracy.
The Y2K-inspired video had a filter that looked like a 90s camcorder. Clips showed a claw vending machine and beautiful women taking shots. Additionally, edits of Combs dancing with his girl were incorporated. The video also featured people getting lit at a party. Furthermore, Christian promoted Raven’s apparel business. He displayed the logo for her brand, ‘Body,’ on a wall.
The song, featuring artist Cash Cobain, used the hook from LL Cool J’s 2002 hit. The lyrics were changed from “I’m gone love you better” to “I’m gone f*** you better.” He also borrowed the bars from Fabolous’ verse on the 2009 ‘Throw It In The Bag’ remix featuring Drake. However, Combs made some subtle changes. “If my lady like to eat Imma buy her restaurants, and she such a boss b**** she can hire who she want. She can help me blow this za — she the fire to my blunt,” he rapped. Instead of saying “green” like Fab, King referred to weed as “za.” He used more of the New York rapper’s lyrics, making slight changes.
