Spin: Songs Rappers Passed On

[Gentle Jones]

kool g rap told me he passed on the beat that biz eventually used for "the vapors"

 

[Mortal1]

Devils Pie only charted as high as 69 on the R&B charts..lol whatever..

So what it wasn't a hit it was a great beat and D'angelo made a great SONG out of it you know one of the main things Cannibus was criticized for . But I see what your saying about it not fitting him.

 

[Whitty Hutton]

come on y'all.. I mean just becuz it fit for somebody else dont mean it was for them. Devils Pie wasnt no huge record. Let be real here

But who knows what it would have done with Bis using it,. If nothing else it would have been the best beat on that turd of an album

Canibus is a great rapper but his beat selection is really awful

yeah i remember hearing them too, and thinking it was probably fine that the beats went to someone else. might not have had the same impact for lupe

Craig Mack passed on Lost Boyz - Jeeps, Lex Coupes, Bimaz & Benz..i guess that beat was too hot for that nikka

 

[CapitalOne]

pusha t passed on nikkas in paris

 

[Durrbrowski]

Childish Gawdbino passed on the Trophies beat

 

[H.J.Duck]

Crooked I passed on "How Do You Want It" when he was signed to Virgin Records in the mid90s

Hov & Beanie Sigel (probably some other Roc artists too) passed on "Pump It Up"

 

[DANJ!]

Craig Mack passed on Lost Boyz - Jeeps, Lex Coupes, Bimaz & Benz..i guess that beat was too hot for that nikka

And Puff traded it with the Lost Boyz for the beat that became "Big Poppa"... hits for everybody... except Mack.

Jay-Z and several others at Roc passed up "Pump It Up". Then Jay snatches it up for a freestyle after it blows.

Shyne passed up the "Oochie Wally" beat.

Kane passed up "Warning" tho'... just shows you his ears were shot in '94. Hate it had to be him.

LL's "Jingling Baby" was for Biz Markie, but he and Marley had a falling-out, so Marley took it with him.
