I’m sure it must be worrisome how many times I’ve had to use this Justin Bieber tag on this blog, without regretting it. While the Biebz isn’t being slowed down by 800% and sounding like Sigur Ros, Kanye West and Raekwon are rapping alongside his vocals for “Runaway Love” over the “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nothing ta f**k Wit” beat.

Of Bieber, Raekwon said: “I think he’s a talented artist and I think that he’s the new generation’s Justin Timberlake… He’s a new talent and a new face in the game, and he has a great voice. I think he’s got style.”

When tackled head-on, I never quite understood the appeal of Justin Bieber’s music. I’m one music blogger who can appreciate mindless Top 40, and Bieber’s music always seemed unexceptional. Now it has been proven twice that in different settings, Justin Bieber sounds like he might be something special. Listen/download to the “Runaway Love” remix below:
