What is the backstory behind some of your favorite songs?

[HafBayked]

Labels trying to get that multi regional attention

"that nigga sold how many copies?......independent?......fuck that, put him on the last verse....can we get tank sounds?"

NOTORIOUS THUGS

BONE thugs came through to where big was at and basically one taked it and killed the track. Got hella high and passed out.

Big didnt want to get murdered on his own shit so he took the beat home and made the classic verse by himself

LL didnt want Master P on 4321, i think he said it was the labels idea

He aint want no wack ass Ugghh moaning on his shit

In a nutshell, thats my opinion too, lol

THAT VERSE WAS MAD SHITTY & OUT OF PLACE. TRACK HAD NOTHING BUT SPITTERS.

THATS LIKE BIRDMAN JUMPING ON NIGGAZ DONE STARTED SOMETHIN.

Yup, I thought master p was outta place on that song from the jump. You could tell that move had marketing strategy written all over it. Master p was the so called hot nigga at the time. Whoevers decision that was, just wanted heads un the south to pay attention to the track.

*I'm sure theres also audio of cool j saying he didn't want P on the song. I think i remember him saying "that was them Track master niggas idea"....even though they didnt produce that song, erick setmon did. I think the audio came from when LL & Canibus were beefing, and canibus recorded a convo of him with LL and LL asking him not too release 2nd round ko.

Just Don't Bite It is a classic song by NWA, but according to Dj Yella, it originally had a totally different beat based on a Herbie Hancock sample.....Not only was the original beat not cleared, but Herbie called NWA himself and told them NOT to use the beat, lol

Damn son, that could be a thread topic all by itself " hip hops most out of place features"...that should do numbers, u should run with that

Craig Mack was stubborn as fuck, and they damn near had to beg him to do Flava In Ya Ear...which was the last track he recorded for his first album and easily the biggest song of his career

Side note: Bobby Brown basically has the same backstory for the song My Perogitive...Teddy Riley basically begged him to record it after he initially stormed outta the studio when he heard the instrumental

Flava In Ya Ear was given to a different artist but that artist turned it down. I don't remember who.

Rza said Meth didnt wanna do "All I Need" and he talked him into it because Meth wanted to stay a "grung/grimey" type rapper, and he felt that song would be too commercial of a move

I never started a thread..u can run w it if u want..pretty sure it will be a bunch of out of coast artist on other coast music

Killah Priest told a story that he had sampled Al Green, but Al denied him sample clearance, probably cause Al is an ordained church minister and he wasnt bout to give sample clearance to a guy named "Kill-a-Priest"

Not a song but an album cover. George Clinton said his brother was a junkie. Got high and went missing. When he was found weeks later authorities told him decomposition had occurred and " Maggots for Brains" thus the album titled: Maggot Brain. Said it on Snoops GGN episode.

Kicked it with Lord's of The Underground @ Sensations in Newark many moons ago. Particularly Do it all. I was with Naughty as a guest and all was love. Told me they HATED Das Efx! Ripped off their whole style and that Sewer video was a shot at DAS.

Da Mystery of Chessboxin


A bunch of emcees auditioned for the last spot on the song, Masta Killa spit his verse and Rza liked his verse the best so the rest is history.

 

[rickmogul]

Atomic Dog was created by mistake when the reel / tape was put on backwards. They kept it going and recorded to it.

 

[natural born sinners]

Not one of my favorite songs...but the story goes that DMX was in a studio session in the same building as niko and went to buy weed off NIKO from Dru hill and he had the beat to "what they want" playing in the background and X ended up getting more than just bud from the nigga, but also one of his biggest crossover hits.

That story is mad hip hop

 

[natural born sinners]

The Notorious Thugs story might be one of my favorite ones though. Nigga really woke up drunk, laid his first and went back to sleep. What makes the story great is that them bone niggas don't really have a easy rhyme pattern or style. Is not some ABC shit that can be mailed in lol

Thats not how BIG's verse happened though

The Thug Luv story is way better, the OG was just Pac, Bizzy, and Sylk E Fyne...they did 3 tracks in that session
