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

Biggie had Doin 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 :russ:

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.

Supposedly they rapped on a bunch of beats that were supposedly held for other people.

With Oh Boy Just Blaze and Dame Dash got really mad at them because they went and played it on Hot 97 the day they recorded it, before any sample clearances could get worked out, so the owner's to the sample roasted everyone for the publishing, and everyone on Rocafella's end got way less money than they could have gotten.

Apparently Bleek passed on a TON of heat. Roc The Mic too.

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.

Girls Girls Girls was intended for Ghostface too. Heart of the City for DMX.

U Don't Know got passed on by Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, and Prodigy.

The Takeover was meant for Beanie Sigel.
Hold up bruh:gladbron: The takeover was meant for sigel :gladbron:Was it intended for someone:ooh:
