The official remix features Ludacris, T-Pain, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Mavado, Birdman, Ace Hood, Fat Joe, Game, Jadakiss, Bun B, and Waka Flocka Flame, released on March 14, 2011.
As with the remix for Khaled's previous song "All I Do Is Win", Khaled himself raps a verse on the "Welcome to My Hood" remix, making a reference to "All I Do Is Win". After the song ends, Khaled shouts the original release date for We the Best Forever, June 28. Also, T-Pain modifies the chorus slightly to "We get fly like a G6, and everybody know this is the remix" from "They outside playing hopscotch/And every know this is the hot spot."
As with the official music video, a 'Behind the Scenes' video to "Welcome to My Hood" was released on April 1.[5]
On April 27, the official music video was released for the remix. Game does not appear in the video, nor does his verse.
On Game's verse he says that himself, and rappers Eminem & Dr. Dre are the best.
Allmusic stated that the remix is "an air horn-fueled Miami anthem with Khaled taking a rare producer’s credit".[6]
