De La Soul f/ Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Jungle Brothers, Monie Love & Queen Latifah "Buddy (Native Tongue Decision)" (1989)

De La Soul's "Buddy" is a case of a remix making a great song even greater. The original is a mellow jam with guest verses from Q-Tip and the Jungle Brothers. The remix steps things up, pulling a sample from Taanya Gardner's funk classic "Heartbeat" and corralling Tip and the Jungle Brothers as guests again along with Phife Dawg, Monie Love and Queen Latifah for a seven-minute Native Tongues blowout.
