Lil Reese and Chief Keef’s “I Don’t Like” arrived in 2012 and changed the lives of the Chicago rappers. Nine years after its release, Reese still has some rough feelings toward one person involved with the growth of the song — Kanye West.
After a fan voiced her beliefs of the original version of “I Don’t Like” being better than Ye’s remix on Twitter Saturday (March 14), Reese backdoored the fans’ claims.
“THE OG IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE KANYE VERSION FUCK KANYE FOR TAKING LIL REESE OUT,” the fan wrote, to which Reese responded, “Yea fuck him but I still get paid off it so I’m not mad.”
The original single didn’t explode on the Billboard charts, peaking at just No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but the song and video helped catapult Reese and Keef to notoriety. After ‘Ye got a hold of the track, he used it for his Cruel Summer compilation album and placed Big Sean, Pusha T and Jadakiss on the track, cutting Reese’s verse entirely. The Young Chop-produced song helped introduce the world to Chicago drill rap and changed the direction of how music videos were shot and shared.

Adding to the lore of “I Don’t Like,” the original video was removed from YouTube, despite amassing 28 million views. The first time it was pulled due to a plethora of guns in the original video and the second time, it was removed after Interscope Records filed a copyright claim. It was added back to the platform in July 2020 without the guns and has now been viewed more than 39 million times.
Revisit the original “I Don’t Like” with Keef and Reese below.
If not for Ye putting all those dudes on the song nobody would have cared and he wouldn’t be getting paid. So “fuck him?”.. what about “thank you for turning my average song into a smash”. Kids are so dumb these days, and they take shots at those who put money in their pockets like never before. Reese and Chief Keef are the worst parts of that song and the lack of success outside of Chicago shows how little people care about them. All mainstream notoriety comes from Ye getting his hands on the track. People listen to the remix and say, “I wonder what the original was like” and check it out. If they like what they hear they will dive deeper into the keef and reese catalogs. if not they will just listen to what they like and keep it moving. Nobody looks at the big picture, too busy in their feelings to notice what is going on.
Yeah, everyone knew about the track before Ye Draked up ok it buddy. Nice try there. They would still be good famous and licorice rich. That track and “love Sosa” we’re anthems that year. You probably don’t listen to underground/street shit. Anyone into hip-hop knew about these dudes. I don’t fuck with drill shit, those two tracks slap.
Sorry buddy, the song was already big before Kanye r0de the wave
aint no way u just said chief keef is the worst on the song

Sure buddy. The DEA just ordered up. Good luck with that. Dumbass. Trying to go to jail ass idiot.
Like the Twitter idiot has a say. It would be one thing to have a comprehensive argument with a valid premise on why the original is better, but ignorance and Neanderthal like tendencies is so embedded up their a$$, the only capable thing they can do is spew out unnecessary hate. Because their vocabulary is limited and thought process is backwards. No wonder Reece was taken out. His following sound as ignorant as he is.
Aww did little Reese poop his panties again? Better call ya mammy pussy ass lmao
Lil’ Who???
