Check out these remixes of awesome songs from the '90s, including reworks of Missy Elliott, TLC, LL Cool J, and more.

Some say that classics shouldn't be played with, but a good remix can breathe new life into a song and make it feel fresh again. Last March we compiled a list of 10 Awesome Remixes of '90s Hits, and we decided it was time to do it again. Whether you're looking for the perfect playlist to help you power through Throwback Thursday or a modern update on your favorite '90s jam, we have you covered.

2. "Woo Hah!! (Remix by DJ Dimé/DJ Skandal/David Feld)"

Original Artist: Busta Rhymes

"Woo Hah!!" was many people's introduction to the wildly animated delivery of Busta Rhymes. Listening back on it now, it's so familiar that you forget how crazy it is, but this remix adds some funky bounce into the mix. In a new context, the craziness of Busta Rhymes' flow becomes apparent once again.

3. "Boy Oh Boy" - Diplo & GTA

Original Track: "Work It" by Missy Elliott

Diplo and GTA completely remade this track and packaged it perfectly for the club crowd. We're not sure how Missy Elliott feels about kids fist pumping to her tracks, but we're not mad at it.

4. "One More Chance (Woody's Produce Remix)"

Original Artist: Notorious B.I.G.

You can't go wrong with Biggie. Woody keeps it smooth for this "One More Chance" remix. If you like what you hear, check out Woody's entire Biggie remix project here.

5. "Return Of The Mack (Viceroy 'Jet Life' Remix)"

Original Artist: Mark Morrison

If you live in the Northeast you are probably more than ready to be done with winter and to be posted up on a beach somewhere. Well, listen to this track and you'll feel the sand between your toes. Pop open a Corona and whatever you do, don't look outside.

6. "I Wanna Be Down (G R A D E S Remix)"

Original Artist: Brandy

G R A D E S, a producer and DJ from London, brought the funk to his remix of Brandy's 1994 hit "I Wanna Be Down." When the original version hit the airwaves it quickly climbed up the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart and peaked at #6 on Billboard Hot 100. With today's alternative R&B sound bubbling, this mix fits right in.

7. "You Got To Get What You Give (Mason Remix)"

Original Artist: New Radicals

It feels like this New Radicals' hit from 1998 has played at the ending credits of every movie (Click, Big Daddy, and Bubble Boy to name a few). We respect Mason, a duo from Amsterdam, for staying true to the original while giving the track a dancefloor-friendly boost.

8. "Thuggish Ruggish (Sliink Remix)"

Original Artist: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

Who better than the self-proclaimed Jersey Club King to bring Bone Thugs' classic "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" back to life? You better bring your weapon.

9. "Real Love (SHASH'U Remix)"

Original Artist: Mary J. Blige

"Real Love" is a defining track for '90s R&B. It is the second single off of Mary J. Blige's debut album What's the 411? and her first top-ten hit on the Billboard charts. SHASH'U slowed the track down and let Mary shine once again.

10. "Doin It (Jesse Slayter Remix)"

Original Artist: LL Cool J

These days it is hard to picture Grammy host LL singing anything like "Doin It," but the now seemingly clean-cut rapper was rapping about doing it—specifically from behind—back in 1997. Jesse Slayter has taken the track to another level by dirtying it up for the kids.

11. "Waterfalls (Bixel Boys Remix)"

Original Artist: TLC

The Bixel Boys are a Los Angeles based duo that has has pulled TLC's timeless classic "Waterfalls" from 1994 into the 2000's. It takes about 30 seconds before any elements of the original track make an appearance but by then the listener is already hooked.
