Artist: Jay-Z (feat. The Notorious B.I.G.)
Song: “Brooklyn’s Finest”
Year: 1996
The Carlito’s Way themed track on Jigga’s debut album “Reasonable Doubt,” was definitely one of our favorite tracks of all time not only cause they put on for the entire Brooklyn, but it featured two of the greatest rappers of all time exchanging verses the entire track. The track was originally supposed to be a Jay-Z track but after Biggie accidentally heard DJ Clark Kent playing around with the instrumental he wanted to immediately hop on the beat creating some Hip-Hop history.
In their studio session, both Jigga and Big were sitting down thinking out their rhymes as Jay offered Biggie a note pad with him declining and Jay said “Oh You Don’t Write Either?” Classic!
