Overall Meaning

The song "Fantasy (Remix)" by Mariah Carey and Ol' Dirty Bastard is a collaborative effort that blends pop, R&B, and hip hop elements. The lyrics speak of a woman who is the shining star, and the feelings that the singer has for her. The chorus repeats the line "I'm in heaven with my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend. There's no beginning and there is no end; feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping." This suggests that the singer is deeply in love and experiencing a strong emotional connection with the woman in question, even though they are not technically dating.

The verses of the song feature Mariah Carey singing about how the woman is so sweet and fine that it makes her feel hectic inside. She confesses that she is into them more than they know and that she constantly thinks of them. The chorus then repeats. This is followed by Ol' Dirty Bastard's rap verse, in which he references the song's title by telling listeners to keep their fantasies hot like fire. He also encourages people to dance and have fun, blending his signature rap style with the upbeat, pop-friendly sound of Mariah Carey.

Overall, "Fantasy (Remix)" is a lighthearted and catchy song about young love and the joy that comes with it. It's an iconic collaboration between two different genres of music that helped define pop culture in the 1990s.

Some history for ya'll who don't know, or need to be reminded about why this song (and Mariah Carey) are so incredibly iconic:

Rappers and Pop stars? In 2016, such a notion doesn’t seemed too far-fetched, right? In fact it's the freakin' norm. But in 1995, this was damn near scandalous. When Mariah wanted to get Ol’ Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Clan to feature on Fantasy, her label (Sony) and her husband at the time (Tommy Mottola, Sony Exec.), both gagged. But somehow they let it happen.

However, fans of R&B, hip-hop and the like were floored. Never before had the genre (hip-hop) been embraced in such a big way by a “pop star.” And that very September, Mariah Carey forever changed the face of “pop music.”

It’s true, she didn’t invent the rap/sung collaboration, but she definitely pioneered it and made it mainstream. She made it work and it was an undeniable hit. Fantasy was #1 everywhere, on every chart, and became the first song by a female artist to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 where it spent 8 consecutive weeks.

So before there was Beyonce & Jay-Z, Rihanna & Drake, Taylor & Kendrick, Jlo & Pitbull or Katy & Juicy J, there was Mariah featuring O.D.B - You're welcome.

There is now a category at the Grammy Awards (the first of which Mariah should have won) for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration - You're welcome Grammys.

So pervasive is this style of music now that pop stars often release rapper-assisted singles (Rihanna) to increase their chances of a hit.

So next time you say or think that Mariah is trying to "stay relevant" by collaborating with rappers, just remember - she was first.

People don’t even know that Mariah actually risked her career to put this song out and bridge the gap between pop and rap. She’s a pioneer. & She did this without her label’s approval. They were heavily against this collaboration. This is why I respect Mariah so much as not only a singer but a true artist.

I’ve always had extra respect for artists who write their own music, especially when the music is in-depth, of substance, and meaningful. She has 18 number 1s and wrote 17 of them. She’s really a one in a million.

Unmatched as far as a female r&b/ pop artists go. Zero competition if you include: amount of number 1s, amount of records sold, writing your OWN music, vocal range, and longevity.

@itsvictoroyedeji

This version of Fantasy should be registered in US library of congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". Mariah risked her career when this dropped and both Mariah and ODB single-handedly bridged the gap between gansta rap and pop with this.

Today it's common for rappers and pop singers to collab, but back in 1995 this was unheard of. Yes Mary J did this a few years back and even Janet Jackson and Heavy D collab'ed in Alright before that...but Mariah was the #1 female artist during this time with a distinct pop/safe sound, and ODB/Wutang was on the COMPLETE other side of the music spectrum most Americans hated then.

So for them to do this to a mainstream audience was a risk that significantly paid off! I'd go as far to say in anything Mariah's done in her career, this remix left the most impact. This and "All I want for Christmas..."

I remember when a lot of people were unhappy because MC changed her music style (i.e. including rappers in her songs, etc.). This song is historic because it is the start of the rap-pop collaboration format that is being used by nearly every singer today. She really was ahead of her time and doesn't get much credit for it. If people would just look past her diva personality, they would see what a brilliant person she is. Not only is she one of the greatest singers ever, she's an extremely talented songwriter and also producer.

This is cool not just for her collaboration & mixing pop and rap, but also her sampling a group that was considered alternative or new wave, possibly even punk (?), mixed right in there! "I'm in heaven....with my boyfriend" and that music with those words is from Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club made up of some members of the Talking Heads! Very very cool & ahead of its time indeed! 🤩🙌

enchantyy M You get what i'm sayng, that's why i called it a trend. I know that before this there were rap songs featuring singers and vice-versa, but the rap bridge on a pop song that almost all female pop singers do, became really popular after this.

@shadowboxing7029

8y↑58

She may not have been the first but she had the pull to bring the two genres together and accumulated the kind of interest not yet seen. Fans of pop music came from all races, rnb was predominantly appreciated by non whites, Mariah brought a lot of white fans over from pop and exposed them to music like Bone Thugs and Harmony, Old Dirty Bastard that they most likely would never have listened to. It doesn't mean shit today but it did back then, she was the one that made people sit up and take notice, that there was something awesome about blending those genres which has alot to do with why so many people do it now. She never gets enough credit for it but well her fans know and I'm sure she's happy with that.

Mariah Carey deserves a LOT of credit for her collabs with hip hop artists AFTER she became a huge pop star and gave a lot of artists shine (from ODB to Da Brat To Bone and many others)

She WANTED to do these collabs and not forced to do them by the labels (the label actually was against this one)

thank you for posting that. Viewer's opinions are one thing, but the facts are the truth. she did make this mainstream! Young people don't realize that just 15-20 years ago music was extremely genre divided and driven. Genre's are basically obsolete now. You can't classify a lot of artists anymore. I think it's fantastic! :)
