It should come as no surprise that Puff Daddy didn't write his bars on his smash hit "All About The Benjamins".

During his appearance on the People’s Party With Talib Kweli,  Jadakiss, who's on the 1997 track with The Lox, explained that he was the one who made Diddy a baller and shot caller.

"We was in the midi room just rapping. We would be in the midi room and Biggie or Puff would be working in the other two rooms. He happened to just come in and hear me rhyming and I already had that rhyme. He heard it and was like, ‘Nah, that’s me, let me get that rhyme right there.," Jada remembered.

It turns out, The Lox didn't even like "Benjamins at first.

“Me and Sheek [Louch] didn’t like ‘The Benjamins,'” Jada explains. “He almost forced us to record the verses that we have on there. We didn’t really understand what that beat was. It didn’t grasp us at the time — we wasn’t eager to record it.” 

However, Jada quickly learned to love the track, as it became both his first club and commercial hit.
