it aint random breh, its called networking and recording
same reason busta got biggie/jdilla records
missy been around since uptown records
That's not what I meant by random. What I'm saying is hearing them tell the story, she showed up and basically put the song together. Like, she really wasn't there on some "Yeah, Puff called me to make this song and this is how it's going down", but more like she may have been at the studio while they were making the song and she gave her input. I'm sure Puff respected her opinion because he knew her, but The LOX didn't know her at that time if I'm comprehending their recollection of the story correctly:
I remember we first got there with Puff. Me, Kiss, and Styles walked in the room and there was this girl in there and shyt,” said Sheek. “And they was listening to that beat. At first I didn’t like it…She was talking to me like she knew me. ‘Yo, let me hear you rap to that.’ ‘First of all, who are you?’ She’s dancing and shyt. She’s making beatboxing noises and shyt while she like ‘Yo, let me hear you spit something to this.’ So, I said ‘alright’…So, I did my first verse—‘strictly tryna cop those’—it wasn’t even for that. I did it. Styles did something; she was like ‘meh.’ Jada did a verse to it. I swear to God, no diss to Styles. That’s my brother. Jada did his verse and shyt she was like ‘Yo.’ He [Styles P] ain’t on the record and shyt. And then she was like ‘You gon’ go here, you gon’ go here, y’all two, you and Kiss, gonna write Puff’s verse.’ Then she just walked off beatboxing. Later on that was Missy Elliott…But we didn’t know that was her. She put the whole ‘Benjamins’ together.”
