said, "That's a Tunnel banger." He goes, "You ain't hittin it like you used to." That's exactlywhat he said. I thought he was doing it just to fuck with me, because that's when he reallystarted traveling with security. I was like OK, he just trying to make me feel small. But at theend of the day, Puff is my man. Me and him is mad cool despite the fact that he did not likethat particular track, and then when we did it I said, "I told you this shit was gonna be hot."And Puff goes, "I told you I had to hear the lyrics first." I was like, "Yeah, aight."Puffy: I didn't really like that beat at first. Once I heard Big's lyrics on it, once i heard him rap,it made me like the beat, it made me understand where he was coming from. Because that'sthe kind of relationship we had. You know, if I didn't like something, he still had the freedomto try it. I would give him my opinion and most of the time he listened, but if he didn't listento it, it must have meant he really felt strongly. So this was one of those cases where he feltstrongly on a joint. Nashiem Myrick: Nas said that record was for him, but when Big said, "Son, I'm surprisedyou run with them/I think they got cum in them, 'cause they nothin but dicks," he was talkingabout Jeru the Damaja to Premo cause Jeru was going at Big and Puff and all them [with thePremier produced "One Day"].Lil Cease: Big talked about Nas a little bit in that shit. It was the King Of New York part, thelast verse: "This goes out for those that chose to use disrespectful views on the King of NY."Thats when Nas had that freestyle out, where he was like "I'll take the crown off the so calledKing and lock it down." Thats when Big had the cover of The Source, and it said, "The Kingof New York." So Big was just addressing shit, but being indirect, cause thats how he waswith it. He wasnt saying who he was talking about. Big was like, "I'ma address it. I'm notgonna blow it. He's the only nigga that's gonna know what I'm talking about." Everybody elsewouldn't have got it, cause you had to really listen to the lyrics. You gotta listen to the indirectlyrics, indirect lines. Read between the lines.Puffy: Part of the song was meant for Nas but it wasn't no real disrespectful shit, it was morelike some subliminal mixtape shit. Nas was doing it. Wu Tang was sayin shit on tapes. Wewere all sayin subliminal shit on tape, but it wasn't to the point where, when we saw eachother, we couldn't give each other a pound and know that some shit was said. It wasn't nodeep shit. It was more on some clever shit, you know? Like little clever jabs, so when youhear it, you're like, "Ooh!" Like if you were the recipient, you would laugh at it, because itwasn't having you all out on front street. Everybody wasn't knowin about it. And you coulddamn near get with the person and yall could talk about it, like, "That shit you said was kindaslick."5.Fuckin You TonightFeaturing R KellyProduced By Daron Jones (of 112) and PuffyLil Cease: We just got locked up again, this is when police ran in the crib and found guns andweed.
