    Honestly, this mashup sounds like a singular song that represents a man having an internal conflict as he's in denial about the abusive relationship he has with a drug, or maybe an actual person. Rick James vocals represent the part of himself that's addicted and in denial while the Dio vocals kinda represent the man's conscience, trying to break through and get the man to end his toxic relationship with the substance/person. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. Either way, this mashup is absolute art.

      I was thinking the same thing. It's interesting that his vocals were more noticeable when isolated and mixed over the Dio trackouts. This is also testament to the incredible talent of engineer Art Stewart in the original recording and Bill Mcklintock's uncanny abilities to not just find and mix complementary sample sources but also his audio engineering skills. The vocal stem on this track sounds so much more clear and audible than on the original Rick James track.
