how did big get the new york new york beat? was he in the studio with dj pooh?

[Sir Petey]

supposedly theres two versions of a song big did over the NY NY beat

one is a commercial for st ides the other is supposedly an extended version of the commercial with a full verse and adlibs and some alternate lyrics etc for a mixtape ron g did and was recorded  about a year prior to dpg releasing there version

anyone know whats the story on this beat?

Not sure if you're expecting some grand, elaborate story, but there was a vinyl released of this track that had the instrumental on it. I'm guessing someone in NYC had it and BIG was able to record over it.

As far as I remember, DJ Pooh used to produce the St. Ides skits and B.I.G. rapped over this beat before Tha Dogg Pound did. I think Snoop mentioned it in an interview with DJ Epstein & Paul Rosenberg from a few years ago.

Here's the commercial:
