It's a good song but the Juicy sample is one that shouldn't be used anymore IMO.
I hate how Puffy completely jacked old songs(Juicy Fruit, In Between The Sheets, etc) for Ready to Die. I respect the hell out of a producer who can flip a sample and make it his own but he doesn't even try. I can't listen to either track because I just think this isn't as good as the original.

I can't listen to either track because I just think this isn't as good as the original.You know, I think it's all a matter of preference.That same reason you hate him is the reason I loved him in the 90's. Sure he jacked Juicy Friut, Between the Sheets, etc., but give him credit, he knew the right songs to jack.And remember most of his expensive sample tracks were the lead singles.B.I.G. was the perfect rapper to do the g shit over "glossy samples".... I know it's kinda played out now, but remember back in the 90's that shit was fly... As a matter of fact (and I know I'm prolly gonna get hated on because of this), but that mid 90's Bad Boy East Coast era (1994 - 1997) is still in my rotation today...

Besides the songs mentioned before I'm also thinking about Gina Thompson's Things You Do Remix and Total's No One Else for example.
