Ready To Die Version
The version that is on Ready to Die features R&B trio Total instead of Faith Evans. It samples "Hydra" by Grover Washington, Jr. and features an interpolation of "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5 on the chorus. The lyrics on the album version are different and more profane from both remixes.
Lil' Cease's niece provides the voice of the child on Biggie's answering machine. His sister and her friends played the various women who leave messages.
The original beat of the original version has a sample of DeBarge's "All This Love" and it can be found on DJ Semi's Ready to Die: The OG Version.
