DJ Clark Kent says that LL Cool J handed on two beats that The Infamous B.I.G. later went on to make use of on traditional tracks. Showing on the second episode of Warner Music Group’s Iconic Data podcast sequence, Clark Kent defined that the beats for “Sky’s the Restrict” and Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s “Participant’s Anthem” have been initially in LL Cool J’s possession.
“[‘Player’s Anthem’] rings off within the Tunnel,” Clark Kent started. “[Kap] performs it like 10 occasions in a row. Now, me and Biggie are standing towards one of many partitions within the Tunnel. LL COOL J’s strolling by and the membership’s going loopy. I’m like, ‘Yo, wassup?’ And he goes, ‘Yo, what is that this?’ I used to be like, ‘It’s the brand new joint with Large and his crew.’ He was like, ‘Who did this?’ I used to be like, ‘I did.’ He was like, ‘Yo, dawg, I want a joint like that.’ I mentioned, ‘Properly, do not forget that tape I gave you with the silver label on it? That was the primary one on the tape.’ And he was like, ‘This?!’ I used to be like, ‘Yeah, you had it first.’ ‘You had it earlier than [JAY-Z], you had it earlier than all the blokes that you simply had any rivalries with. You had it first. I shouldn’t have gave it to you however I did. However you had it first and also you didn’t choose it. So now you hear it within the membership.’ And he was identical to, ‘Rattling.’ I used to be like, ‘Yeah, hearken to the tape.’”

“The following monitor on there was ‘Sky’s the Restrict,’” he mentioned. “He missed that. LL had ‘Participant’s Anthem’ and ‘Sky’s the Restrict.’ After which it was magical as a result of the Tunnel was the other way up that night time. And I used to be identical to, ‘We did this yesterday. This shit shouldn’t even be taking part in.’ But it surely’s me, Large and Un. Un’s like, ‘Yo, this gon’ be the primary single!’ And Large’s like, ‘I advised you so, I advised you.’ And I used to be identical to, ‘Okay, you advised me.’”
Clark Kent went on to reward Biggie for his capability to acknowledge and incorporate a superb beat into his songs. He felt that LL Cool J, however, didn’t “hearken to it correctly.” He defined that not all artists can hear a whole composition once they hearken to a beat. “Most individuals hear the monitor and so they assume, ‘How do I rhyme to it?’ Biggie’s like, ‘Oh no, there’s an entire tune right here,’” the DJ mentioned.
