"Lights Please" is a song by American rapper J. Cole, released on June 15, 2009 from his second mixtape, The Warm Up. The song later appeared on his debut studio album, Cole World: The Sideline Story (2011).

"Lights Please" was the first song that was heard by his manager Mark Pitts, who later played it for Jay-Z. Pitts said in a 2011 interview, "I went to Jay's house and said, 'I'm going to play you one thing,' and I played him "Lights Please." Prior to Jay-Z reaction to the song, he called Cole and set up a meeting the next morning. The meeting lead to signing the rapper to Roc Nation, an achievement Cole has been striving for since attending college.

Although the song appeared on The Warm Up, Cole initially planned for it to be on his debut album. "I was performing the song in front of most of these people who didn't really know me they might have heard of me. I was like, 'I'm about to do this song. I wanna do something for y'all it's called "Lights Please." Even if I drop my album in 2012 this gonna be on the album." I said that not really knowing that my album would really almost drop in 2012. I said it just as a joke, but I was serious." Cole also said in interview, "when history is told 10, 15 years from now, 20, 30, 40 years from now, it's important that they know that song was a big part of my career. I wanted to do that song justice, it deserved more than a mixtape track."

This PDAWG remix is a complete remake of the song to give it more emotion and a more current vibe.

The "Hate It or Love It" song first began to be conceived during the middle period of the recording process for The Documentary, in early 2004, during a recording process in which The Game would frequently fly to recording locations in New York City to work with 50 Cent, he would be given beats to hear along the way, to help inspire him. When he initially heard the production that would later become "Hate It or Love It", he did not display much interest, as he was "in a different mind frame" — conceiving more "hard hitting" records. However, on the flight home later that day, he took more of an interest and began to write the first components of the song.

The chorus is sung and written by 50 Cent, who helped with the rest of the writing process and recording for the song along with The Game at his mansion in Connecticut. The song was even suggested for 50 Cent's album The Massacre (2005), due to 50 Cent's large artistic input.

When The Game arrived at the mansion on the day of recording, 50 Cent presented him with several already part-completed records, with variously placed verses and choruses. The Game wrote his final verse first and worked backward, to avoid tiredness affecting his later verses. After 50 Cent heard the final version of the song after the recording process had finished, he was excited by its potential and felt the song would have to be one of the album's singles. It was later released as the album's third, after "Westside Story" and "How We Do", both of which also featured 50 Cent.

The original production for "Hate It or Love It" first surfaced on a compilation CD, put together by Cool & Dre who had been in contact with The Game since early 2002, and released unofficially to the local rap community. After G-Unit Records producer Sha Money XL received a copy of this disc, he requested a meeting with the duo, feeling that the song had much potential to be a hit. After Dr. Dre heard the original production, he made sonic alterations and, according to Aftermath Entertainment A&R Mike Lynn, "made it sound like a record", a process he carried out on all of the other tracks on The Documentary. When Interscope Records chairman Jimmy Iovine later requested to hear the original production, he admitted could not tell the difference. Cool & Dre later praised the quality of Dr. Dre's mix, stating that "Dre brought it to life... As a mixer is what I think is his best quality... his ear for instrument placement is amazing".

PDAWG - Domino

Shawn Antoine Ivy, known as Domino, is a rapper. Being a Crip himself, he auditioned for the Bloods & Crips project in the early 1990s. He is the first rapper, in order of appearance, in the title track Bangin' on Wax on the album of the same name. His debut album, Domino, spawned two major hits in the United States, including the Top 10 hit "Getto Jam", which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Several further albums were released, and Domino continued to score hits on the R&B charts into the 2000s.

While his self-titled debut album was critically and commercially well-received, many were quick to point out that his style was similar to that of fellow Long Beach resident and up-and-coming Dr. Dre protégé, Snoop Doggy Dogg. He is the first hip-hop artist to perform a No. 1 rap single which contained melodic hip-hop throughout the entire song. Three years later, Domino released his second album, Physical Funk, which failed to become as successful as its predecessor. The video for title track "Physical Funk" was a No. 1 video on MTV but the album was delayed before its release due to Def Jam dropping Outburst Records (the record label Domino was released on) before the album was released.

As featured on Wayneandwax.com: "I finally had a chance to go through my Hindi remix CDs after a week in New York City. Six years ago (2002) 74th St. in Jackson Heights, Queens was stuffed with Indian (Hindi & Punjabi) music shops on both sides of the street, and on all cross streets, but now there are only two music shops left on the main strip. The downloaders have won, the community music shop is fading away.  Pdawg presents ”Mango Mix The Album” has a track called “Addictive Indian Mix” which uses the “Addictive” break, Lata’s vocals, and Rakim’s original rap. It mixes in a new flute part and the “koo koo koo” vocals from Choli Ke Peeche." Posted by The Incredible Kid Radio DJ from Portland, Oregon.
