Stories of Rappers Passing On What Became Hit Records....

[Buckeye Fever]

The studio tried to force Nothin On You on Lupe. Even if you listen to his version on YouTube you can tell he sounds lifeless, almost disgusted with the entire concept.

Yeah, I can believe that. Sounds like Lupe would react like that lol

 

[TripleAgent]

the D12 version was actually recorded

That's from a mixtape, not an original song to the beat.

 

[Depreciating Asset]

Passed on this and the feature with Bruno Mars both went to BOB

I hate Lupe tracks that sound like this. Give me Mural all day over this pop shyt

Young Joc passed on blue magic. In fact young Joc was suppose to work with Just blaze on an album. I found this weird that the collaboration didn’t happen considering Diddy spent a shyt ton of money on young Joc trying to make him the face of Bad Boy south. So why not have him work with Just blaze??

Speaking on this I do think Just blaze and Jody breeze from Boyz n the hood could have done a good project. There needs to be a documentary on how Diddy fumbled Bad boy south in general

Easy Mo Bee said he made the "Warning" beat strictly for Kane in '94 and Kane said "next".

And yeah it was a fumble but TBH... this is '94 Kane we're talkin' about. Even if he had taken it, it'd ended up sittin' on an album most of us ain't given one listen to This ain't prime Kane, this is him on his last leg making terrible singles nshyt. So ay, good for the beat and Mo Bee!

There's prolly a gang of incredible beats that somebody coulda picked and made a classic with that are instead on half-ass albums.

Yeah waiting for this spin thread

[Bugzbunny129]

I remember on the vladtv interview he said it wasn't his type of beat. He acknowledged the beat was dope but it didn't fit his style

 

[up in here]

Busta Rhymes passed on Oochie Wally

 

[Nostalgic]

I hate Lupe tracks that sound like this. Give me Mural all day over this pop shyt

Atlantic Records kept trying to force Lupe to be more of a pop artist, Lupe wasn't into it. Resson why Lazers kept getting delayed by the label.

50 Cent's "Heat" Beat Was Originally for Rakim - Beats, Rhymes & Lists

It sounded like a dream come true for hip hop heads around the world when they heard the…

[phonthought3000]

Nas said "Nah this beat sounds too good, I'll pass"

Told alchemist to give it nashawn. Alc said

 

[Bryan Danielson]

He did a freestyle just to let you know what could’ve been

Yea…. That beat was made for Ghost…. Him…. Rae and Meth (cuz you know they would’ve jumped on) would’ve killed this song.

Hell I think UGod could’ve ripped it too

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Penny and KG had this bear first


Na but I beat there are a lot of crazy stories from the Wu on who had what beat first.

The stories I liked to hear to see the instances where 2 rappers that collaborated had the same some on both they albums.

Like I believe both Snoop and CMurder both had a song they did on both their albums
