LIKE HOW DO YOU LISTEN TO THAT AND SAY, "NAH MAN, shyt AINT ME. GET ME SOME SALAAM REMI shyt."
LL Cool J Doin It was originally for Big Daddy Kane, that’s why there’s a “Go Brooklyn” in the song, and for it to make sense LL had to say the girl was from Brooklyn in the lyrics
yeah Biggie had Doin it. The Producer gave any interview years ago saying that he had given the beat to Biggie but Puff and them never came through with the check.Biggie had Doin It

Kane had it first, I believe. Someone said it on the Combat Jack show, I wish I could remember. I feel like it was LL who said it.yeah Biggie had Doin it. The Producer gave any interview years ago saying that he had given the beat to Biggie but Puff and them never came through with the check.
Rumors of Jay Z turning down Ras Kass Golden Child remix. CNN turning down Boom. Freddie Foxxx always said he took the beats that rappers didn't want from primo and PAINE was one meant for the Lox. Easy Moe Bee said he made Warning for Big Daddy Kane but he didn't want it. Puffy turned down Kick in the Door for Biggie and the only reason Biggie got it is because Primo played it for him. Chi Ali turned down the Choice is yours remix![]()
I think that's where a lot of the Rakim "ghost wrote" Summetime confusion comes from. Besides Will sounding like a dead ringer for him.Eric B said they had the Summertime beat first
Jay passed on that Luda beat at 1:38. I think it turned out to be a good decision though![]()


Memphis Bleek passed on "Oh Boy" #onehitaway![]()

9th Wonder was working with him for 534 and Young Guru was trying to get 9th to do most of the album, but Bleek only took a few.
Jay-Z rapped over Izzo after Cam'ron rapped over it, and the beat was intended for Ghostface.
