Super Cat, Mary J, Blige, Biggie - "Dolly My Baby (remix)"

[🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲]

1993 single from the album "Don Dada". There are two official remix versions to the song. The first remix version, entitled "Dolly My Baby (Hip Hop Mix)", features backing vocals by Mary J. Blige, and contains a sample of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" and Mountain's "Long Red". The second remix version, titled "Dolly My Baby (Bad Boy Extended Mix)", is the same as the first remix version, only this time with guest vocals by co-remix producers Jesse West (under the alias 3rd Eye) and Sean Combs (under the alias as Puff Daddy). In addition to Combs and West, the remix also marked the official recording debut of a then-unknown The Notorious B.I.G. (who was also known as "B.I.G." and "Biggie Smalls"). 3rd Eye's verse contained an interpolation of the traditional folk song "Ring a Ring of O' Roses" and in the "Bad Boy Extended Mix" version, he opens his verse with "bling bling. Who's that with Super Cat?". It has since been suggested that 3rd Eye was the first hip-hop artist to coin the complete term "bling bling." The original version contains a sample and an interpolation of Eric Donaldson's "Cherry Oh Baby", and B.I.G.'s verse included a sample of "Maddy Maddy Cry" by Papa San. This version is well known today.

Song peaked at #64 R&B and #21 Rap, Dance charts.

Parts of Biggie's verse were later sampled in his big 1995 hit "Big Poppa", which is way parts of this song is recognizable to me.
