That sh-- was the craziest collabo. LL Cool J was my idol. He was working in the next room with the Trackmasters. This is when I was doing my second album. And Tone from the Trackmasters came to my session, and heard my second album with 'Fat Joe's In Town' and all that. And he was like, 'Oh sh--, you're killin' it. I'm doing this remix for LL, you wanna jump on that?'
Chris Lighty was managing Fat Joe at the time. Joe really wanted to be on an event record and that would have been the staple for him. He was like, 'Yo, lemme just go on. I promise you the rhymes are gonna be amazing.' So we were like, 'Okay.' So he got on the record.
