Airplanes…With Hayley Williams And B.o.B. Lupe Fiasco?!

4/11/2011 2:40 PM ET | Filed under: Music Minute • Paramore • B.O.B.

Wow! It's crazy how much this changes the complete tone of the song!

Apparently, long before B.o.B. recorded his now-hit track, Airplanes, with Hayley Williams of Paramore and Eminem, his labelmate, Lupe Fiasco, was offered the song, and even recorded his own verses before ultimately passing on it!

Luckily, his version has leaked, and you can listen to it (above)!

Inneresting! There's obviously a lot more energy on the B.o.B. version…but there's something about the mood of this one, a sadness that keeps us hitting the re-play button over and over again!

It would been very cool to hear a finalized version of this on Lasers!

What do U think?? Which version do U prefer??

Do they know you're illegally making money off their material by revenue whoring and putting ads in front to generate your own profit?

I like this version too, B.o.B seems to have taken all Lupe's songs the guy can't catch a break…

Mario: You are literally stealing content from YouTube and putting your own commercials in front of it. This is ILLEGAL, and it's about time you checked with your lawyers, because we're about to have a chat with ours regarding YOU. Stop illegally profiting from media content that YOU DO NOT OWN.

Why don't all of you go and bitch on every single youtube video someone has uploaded of another artists song? A lot of them have ads before them. You've got a long list, better get going.

I don't even work in the music industry, but it says something about Lupe that he didn't see this song's potential, didn't realize it would be a hit.
It's catchy, it has a good hook.
And I much prefer BoB's lyrics and rap delivery.
Oops.

How do you know Lupe PASSED on it? Everyone else is reporting that the song was given to B.O.B.

Brad Pitt Picks Family Over Fame By Skipping Upcoming Movie Premiere! See What He Said!

No, not Allied...

Brad Pitt is without a doubt the most famous infamous actor in the world right now... but he wants you to know that he's still a family man first.

So much so, in fact, that despite lending his voice to Tree of Life director Terrence Malick's upcoming documentary epic Voyage of Time, the 52-year-old will NOT be attending the film's premiere!

While fellow narrator Cate Blanchett is still expected to stop by Wednesday night's debut, Brad apparently doesn't want to tarnish the IMAX movie with his own personal problems.

Angelina Jolie's soon-to-be ex confirmed his planned absence in a statement to Access Hollywood on Tuesday, saying:
