Notorious B.I.G. – White Chalk Pt. 2 (Unreleased Reference Track)
January 16, 2013
There’s a rare unreleased Notorious B.I.G. verse flying around at the speed of the Internet. Listen to it below. Where did it come from? Why is it only surfacing now? The audio tags more than suggest it was for a DJ Capone mixtape. Beyond that, the rest is a guess.
UPDATE: Apparently it’s an old Junior Mafia reference track called “White Chalk Pt. 2”

Marley Marl Classic Recipes: Recreates LL Cool J’s ‘Mama Said Knock You Out’ With Unreleased Verse (Video)
July 19, 2012
“In the first installment of Marley Marl ‘Classic Recipes,’ he shows you how he produced the beat for the 1991 Grammy award-winning chart-topping single “Mama Said Knock You Out” by LL Cool J. He discusses the collaboration and the production process of the track, as well as methods and tools that were used, including the Akai MPC60 and E-Mu SP-1200, the preferred sampler and drum machine for most hip hop producers at that time. In this video Marley Marl loads the samples into his new production weapons of choice, Ableton Live and the Akai APC40, including bits of Sly And The Family Stone’s “Trip To Your Heart” and James Brown’s “Funky Drummer”.
Throughout the video, the DJ legend gives invaluable advice and tips for young and up and coming producers, and he concludes the episode by offering a mixing technique for Ableton Live users and lovers of 808 kicks and other bass-heavy kick drums, and an alternate rock version of the song with never before heard lyrics recorded by LL in 1990.” – Dubspot
