The year was 1995. During the height of the media driven "East Coast/West Coast" Beef. The Notorious B.I.G. was on the rise with his debut album "Ready to die" storming up the charts. Big gets hired to promote a staple in the urban drinkie drink St. Ides.
This commercial was one of the marketing gems to assist Biggie with catapulting to super stardom.
Many of you know, this infamous beat was eventually used by Tha Dogg Pound and was released as "New York, New York" on September 17th, 1995. Shout out to DJ Pooh on the production!
According to Kurupt, DJ Pooh gave Kurupt the beat first. Kurupt said he was taking his time with this beat because he knew it was going to be something special for him. While writing to it, St. Ides dropped this commercial with B.I.G. rapping over it. Biggie technically rapped over this iconic instrumental first even though it was given to Kurupt prior. This commercial features a shortened version of the verse. The original verse in it's entirety was about 49 seconds.
"While Kurupt, Daz and Snoop would allege that the song was initially meant as a tribute to New York, during the filming of the music video in Red Hook, Brooklyn, the set was fired upon in a drive-by. As a result, the West Coast rappers decided to turn the song into a diss against the East Coast, filming themselves knocking down the cityβs iconic skyscrapers."
"This in turn lead to Capone-N-Noreaga collaborating with Mobb Deep and Tragedy Khadafi to release the response song βL.A., L.A.β The incident also prompted 2Pac, on behalf of his new Death Row family, to step up his involvement in the coastal beef. Things just snowballed from there."
