DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection

All time craziest backstories on how certain classic tracks came together

(1/3) > >>

"New York, New York" - Pooh had made the beat for Biggie for a St Ides commercial.  The track later ends up being used for the Dogg Pound on the hit "New York, New York" which disses New York (but later revisionist history Dogg Pound tries to claim it was "honoring" New York but I'm not sure I buy that logic) kicking down buildings and shit in the video and Snoop gettin on there with the "New York, New York big city of dreams" which is a sample of which 80's song? Anyway, Big goes on New York radio during the filming and encourages headz to get at the Dogg Pound and shots are fired... crazy backstory

"Mind Made Up" -  Not sure if I believe this backstory, but supposedly Dre wanted the beat or something like that-- Daz used the beat for a Dogg Pound track at the height of the East/West beef it had heavy hitters from the East Coast Red and Meth along with Deck and Rage (who were later taken off except some adlibs from Deck), but then later Pac gets added, well they never asked Red and Meth for permission but Suge uses them on the track and they probably never got paid or anything--just a crazy backstory

"California Love" - comes from like an o.g. beat from some old school New York rappers (EPMD, shit my head is dazed can't remember who but not like anybody reads anything at this forum anymore anyway) anyway Dre uses it and records a full solo track, Suge bails out Pac and Pac comes to the studio, puts Pac on the song, Pac blows up like never before, they do a great video together that blows up like nothing before, the pinaccle, all is well at Death Row--then suddenly two months later Dre leaves Death Row, Pac is dissing Dre calling him gay and shit--and all hell breaks lose

...what other crazy backstories?
