Big Momma Thang

Lil' Kim (Ft. JAY-Z)

Based around a sample of Sylvester’s “Was It Something I Said?,” Lil Kim drops some dirty, hardcore rhymes while Jay-Z talks about hooking up with Kim in the recording studio.

The title of the song pays homage to Big Daddy Kane’s second album It’s a Big Daddy Thing. The same Sylvester sample was used on Big Daddy Kane’s 1990 single “Taste of Chocolate,” which features a cameo from Jay-Z in the music video.

Lil' Kim provided some background information about the track:

It was actually a diss record and then it was a couple things they wanted to change but couldn’t clear. A situation had happened at the time, so we put Jay-Z on it because the second verse was crazy. The record had leaked before the album came out, and then when a record leaked, it wasn’t really a good thing. It wasn’t a bad thing because the world would go crazy, but it wasn’t a good thing as far as financial sales for the record company.
