That I wasn't there for the mixdown of it. For whatever reason, Puff moved ahead with the mixdown session. I always got called in to mix my songs so I thought it was strange when I found out that that song AND I Love The Dough were finally mixed and already on the album... ready to be released. They came out sounding ok. But I know if I could have mixed them they would've sounded even better.
So, in essence, I never got to see Biggie & JAY-Z do their vocals. I also didn't get to see Angela Winbush sing her hook over live in the studio and change her original hook, "I love you more, more than you know...." to "I love the dough, more than you know..."
I didn't get to witness any of that.
Other than that, I must've chopped "More Bounce To The Ounce" to about ten pieces or more. I chopped that record so well that other producers were asking me if I had used the original master tapes to do it. "Going Back to Cali" is singlehandedly the most creative sampling ever of Zapp's "More Bounce." Nobody has chopped that song before like I did. Facts!!!!
