Question About DPG's New York New York

[StevenQBosell]

Ok I know DPG did that song in 1995 perhaps? When did the BIG version of the song (St. Ides) come out, and who's was first?

Also who produced the beat, I've heard it was Melle Mell, DJ Pooh or Daz...

And last question, any other song use that beat? It is one of my favorite beats of all time, any help would be appreciated...

all I know is Pooh produced the NY, NY track on Dogg Food, one of the 2 he did the other being Smooth

the song D.P.G. on Dillinger and Young Gotti part One does a sort of an update on the song, so it also uses the beat and Daz produced that

DPG came out first.  Rumor was Daz sold the beat to B.I.G. to use.  This was right before the whole east vs. west beef started.

the BIG song is a st.ides ad? or the song is called st.ides?

and the BIG song is credited to daz as having produced it?? wha?

LOL yeah I remember it, it had nothing on the DPG version. After a while LA LA got so boring.

Does anybody have a full version of BIG rapping over that New York New York beat?

I like the very subtle bassline differences of the 2 songs, very funky.

And by the way does Melle Mell fit into making this beat at all? For years I heard Melle did this beat first, but that's just what I heard.

I think they had 2 versions, the video version did not use the NY, NY beat

[StevenQBosell]

To my knowledge they didn't use the NY NY beat, it may have been Havoc of Mobb Deep who procued that Capone And nrore track

they never used the dpg beat...  ''LA, LA'' was a brand new beat as far as I remember

I thought I heard a radio version with the DPG beat, but I think your right, this is the video, doesn't come close to NY NY

Melle Mel ties into it because DPG's version of "NY, NY" is a punchline/concept mix of a song form the 80's/90's of Mel's with the same title.
