Well, I haven't heard Cee-Lo's version to compare, but I think if I was Coke, I would've just went with both. Scratch that, this song is too good to be a Coke commercial. It also reminds me of Speech's line about "hip hop legends reduced to selling Sprite." It's a sad state of affairs for hip hop, but Speech, do what you have to do. Actually, placing music in ads has been a successful route for many musicians to have their music heard, it's just too bad this effort wasn't picked up by Coca Cola.
OK, here's Cee-Lo's version. Guess they both have basically the same backing track. Have to say I prefer Speech's version (I am biased), but Cee-Lo is the more current star I guess.
