Story Time: Sheek Louch Recalls Studio Sessions With DMX, Biggie & Jay-Z

September 28, 2010 - 3:19 pm by Mikey Fresh TWITTER

“I still remember the day we were in the studio making 'Last Day' with B.I.G. Of course, the first thing that sticks out is the big-ass Hellman's mayonnaise jar of Branson. [Laughs] It was love from day one with B.I.G. and The Lox. We just got to the label and he was asking us to get on all these records because he thought we were nice. Puff would have us in this little ass B-room and Biggie and all his other artists would be in the big studio. He would bring all these other rappers and try to have them semi-battle us or just hear us rap, that’s why we were spitting so hard on that. Around the same time, we did that 'You'll See' freestyle. We didn’t even get hear B.I.G’s part 'til after it was finished. In those days, we would just spit on any record we could. Little did we know it would make Biggie’s album.”

"['Niggaz Done Started Something'] was one of our records, actually. We were all together that night. Ma$e was in there writing his verse. We gave 'Niggaz Done Started Something' to X. Irv Gotti called me to his studio and was saying he needed a hook for another X song..."

"...[Irv Gotti said,] 'I need you get hyped like you how know one else you can.' It was early in the day and there were mad people in the studio just drinking and shit. I just did my part on some freestyle shit right in front of X and he started screaming 'Get At Me Dog!' right back in my face. Everybody in the room was going crazy, breaking shit."

'It's All About The Benjamins' (Puff Daddy Feat. The Notorious B.I.G., Lil Kim & The Lox)

“We thought it was our record at first, to tell you the truth. All three of us were kind of tight when Puff took our record. But for the 'Benjamins', he just called us to Daddy’s House one night to record and when we got there Puff had the beat on and this chick was just dancing by herself… some crazy shit with her feet [laughs]. Then, of course, he tells us to just rhyme over it. 'I’m strictly trying to cop those...' And the girl was like, 'That’s it, keep that whole verse.' I didn’t even know at the time that it was Missy Elliott. [laughs] She was on the one who told Puff to keep my verse. And we started writing Puff’s verse. Actually Styles didn’t the make original version. He laid a verse but Puff wasn’t feeling it. I’m staring at an MTV Moon Man from that record right now. Man, shouts to the band Fuzz Bubble who did the rock remix. We went crazy at that video shoot.”

"That was one of my favorite group joints. Shout out to Sauce Money, he’s still underrated to this day. Hov was there listening to what we all had and came back to do his verse later. And I got to give it to him. Beans and everybody else came hard, but when Hov spit “We don’t stop at the tolls, we got E-Z passes, nigga/Multiple cars and divas with D-classes/Iceberg sweats with I.B. on the elastic.” [Screams] I couldn’t take it. Jay is still the big homie. We were pissed at Swizz when he gave him that 'Jigga my Nigga,' we wanted that so bad."
