Song Information:
Produced by the Trackmasters, the remix of LL Cool J’s “I Shot Ya” is a posse cut that features then-up and coming New York MC’s Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Fat Joe, the debuting Foxy Brown, and Keith Murray, who was previously featured in the original version of “I Shot Ya,” spitting the track’s hook inspired by a line from LL’s hit single “I’m Bad”.
This remix is notable due to the appearances of Prodigy and Keith Murray rhyming back-to-back on the same track in the middle of their beef. Keith threw some subliminals in his verse, but Prodigy had at least one direct line aimed at Keith, which was edited out of the video version. Prodigy said the following about his involvement in the track:
LL was one of the reasons I started rapping. It was only right that I’d get on that and make that shit hot. When we recorded that shit, everybody did their shit separately. They just put the whole shit together, but that shit was ill. They used to play that shit in the club back in the day, in The Tunnel and all that. That was like, The Tunnel record.
