Overview
"Mo' Beats" is a song written by Rivers Cuomo and recorded by Weezer in 2002 during the sessions for the band's planned fifth album. A recording dated July 2 was released as a free MP3 on the band's official site. It was reported in 2002 that, at the Summer Sonic Festival, Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses met with Cuomo to discuss a possible collaboration on this song.[1]
"Mo' Beats" shares an entry in the Catalog O' Riffs with a song rehearsed months later, in November of 2002, titled "Keep It Safe".
Two of Cuomo's demos of the song appeared on the digital compilation Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years in 2020.
