Buckwild has linked up with Genius to discuss the making of The Notorious B.I.G.‘s classic “I Got a Story to Tell.”
“He would always tell me like, “you make dope beats but you don’t have nothing for me,” Buck says. “It’s like basketball when they say can’t hit a jump shot, you go back in the gym and you keep shooting.” When they finally connected on wax, the final track on Life After Death was born.
The Bronx producer deconstructs the beat itself, and talks about the process of giving Biggie a tape to hitting the studio with his sampler (the E-mu SP-1200).
