02/17: Original "Benjamins" Debuted on Clue Tape?
I was just reading the Wikipedia entry for "
It's All About the Benjamins" and I saw this:
The song originated from a mixtape debuted by DJ Clue. This version of the song only featured Puff Daddy and the rap act The Lox (excluding Styles P).
Wondering where that came from, a Google search led me to
this MTV article:
Besides shedding the first light on some of rap's biggest hits, like the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy," the original version of Puff Daddy's "It's All About the Benjamins" and Jay-Z's "Ain't No N---a," Clue also gave the first dose of major exposure to some of today's biggest stars like Noreaga, Cam'ron, DMX, Fabolous, Mase, Ja Rule and the LOX via freestyles.
