There’s no link on the page for the song. I found another one though….I’m getting it now.

“It Be’s That Way Sometimes” by Joe Simon was sampled for 50 and Lil Kim’s “Magic Stick”. Could that be the one?

Ray do you have the song? What part do you think it samples “Cleopatra Jones” at? Cause the main sample is the Maze joint.

Pass the song along and I will take a listen.

We couldn’t find a listing for “I’ll Whip Your Head”. Most the samples we are putting out this month are incomplete.

If you come across any listings hit us up and we’ll try to find the sample and verify it.

Thanks

BIG thanks for posting this, I was just thinking about how well the production was on this album (which is very good seeing that it is a soundtrack) and wondering what songs were sampled for tracks like “When It Rains It Pours” etc. etc. so big ups for this Kev.

This was a well put together album by Mr. Interscope.

Mase went back to his congregation in ATL I believe….plus P. Diddy wanted too much money from 50 to release him from his Bad Boy contract….I believe.

People hate on Puff, but he is bout his business and bout his $.
