The year was 1997. First time I heard this was on a Sunday @ 1000pm. The station was WQHT-NY (Hot 97 FM). The show was Future Flavas w/Pete Rock and Marley Marl. Hearing the production on this was crazy!! I was about 14 when this dropped. The best times growing up in my opinion. Fashion was crazy with the Avirexs, IceBerg and Coogi. Whips was crazy W140s, 850i’s and Acura Legends. The music was good. ALL GENRES OF MUSIC.
@@shynepo3They recorded this during the hell on earth sessions. Prince was gonna sue mobb deep for this record, hence why it's not on the hell on earth album
@@shynepo3 actually their first song about chicks was “Hit It From The Back” on Juvenile Hell album. Google tht! But yea ‘97 was the year! P was in his prime then. (End of 96’ going into 97’) you brought back memories kid. I was 17 then.
You ever hear the story Havoc told. He was in the studio and Prince just happened to be there he walked in played the keyboard on one of his beats and walked out and didn’t say anything. The song has snoop on it
Born in 97! So before my time! Been a fan of Mobb For years but just discovered this 2023 smh....In the long run another song that doesnt get appreciated..
Classic Mobb at their absolute best!!!! I miss these guys being on the top of the rap game, to many lame rappers out now. I think it's time for comeback Mobb Deep, Wordlife dunn!
ONLY REAL MF'S KNOW ABOUT THIS SONG I FOUND IT 4 YEARS AGO AND IM BACK TO REMINISCE RIP MY NIGGA P! MOBB DEEP PDUB WILL LIVE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!! EASTSIDE 718 BX OR BE NEXT TO KILLA QB NYC STAND UP
this is a leftover from the murda musik sessions. god i love this joint, couldve been a huge single too rite after quiet storm. P's flow was so ON POINT!!! i miss old Mobb :(
RIP Prodigy and Prince!
Anthony Zarlengo That’s real...Facts!
Never thought the Mobb sampling Prince would sound so dope
Prince never cleared em to use "if I was your gf" and they did anyway 😂

RIP P
This probably was the Prince beat that P said Prince didn't want them to use...lmao.
yes it was
Prince should've cleared this one...
If I Was Your Girlfriend...one of the songs he rarely performed because it was written for his girlfriend, his bassist Wendy's twin sister!
YUP
@seanwest777 he didn't own his masters. Prince didn't like Cussing on his samples.
This song is still a gran slam.....
Been looking for this couldn't remember where I heard this Clue Kay Slay(rip) Doo Wop etc doesn't matter I found it
