"Big never forgave me for selling Doin' It to LL"

[bigde09]

I love these kinds of industry stories

Yup. Like how Many Men was actually supposed to be a Nas song before 50 got it


this was supposed to be Nelly but he passed on it. this shyt would have been a huge comeback single for him.

 

[The War Report]

BIG would of crushed that beat but LL killed it too.

 

[Remote]

Not even mad at Big for that.

Doin It is a monster of a track.
One of the all time bangers.

That’s crazy to lose it like that.

 

[TEKBEATZ]

Fam needed the money

Just like we heard the Clark Kent story on LL being in The Tunnel & hearing Players Anthem & thinking it was crazy not realizing Clark tried to give it to him first lol

 

[CashmereThoughts]

60k in '95 was like 130k today in terms of purchasing power. For a hip hop beat back then that's HEAVY bread.




I would've sold that shyt with the QUICKNESS.

Bad boy was shooting 6 minute high budget films as music videos. Big could had that beat if he pressed puff

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

I always thought Hypnotize was doo doo. It’s catchy, but it didn’t fit BIG’s persona.

Doin It would’ve put him on another level and who knows how things might’ve turned out.



LL still did a good job with it though.

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

Ewww. They made the right choice.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

That’s up there with my favorite LL songs ever …just a classic rap single … one of the most 1996-est tracks in existence, especially with the video

All that being said, I’m probably spinning the ole multiverse wheel of fate on this one to see what Big would’ve done with it…I’m assuming there was no hook or premise or anything when L got it, so who knows what direction Big would’ve took it…I just know LAD era Big would’ve absolutely floated over that beat

 

[King Static X]

Honestly, I don't think that song would've fit Biggie.

It fits LL's vibe and persona perfectly lol.

 

[Trav]

Sounds like BIG should've been mad at Diddy for not puttin' that deposit down

 

[Collateral]

Ewww. They made the right choice.

Sex is drama head is trauma, ripped pajamas imma stay till tomorrow

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Depends.. was it just the instrumental or was the female hook there already? It if was.. I don't think Christopher could have carried it like LL.

 

[Peak]

i dont think big could of ripped "doin it" better then LL

Pretty much. It wouldn't be Doin It without LL.
