Tenured Hip Hop artist Rashad Smith dug in the crate over the holiday weekend and revealed he’s sitting on a major gem.
In a post on Sunday (December 27), the former Bad Boy producer – who’s worked with the likes of Aaliyah, Biggie, JAY-Z, Nicki Minaj and more – shared a quick look at some of his old tapes and one of them included a never-before-heard collab with rivals Lil Kim and Foxy Brown.
Best Hip Hop Collaborations of 2020
“@bandcamp Here I Come!,” he wrote with the pic. “Get Ready People 2021 Sessions,Beats Going Up! There’s Thousands More DAT Tapes Being Transferred. BTW: People Don’t Ask! Answer- NO.”
According to the picture, the track was recorded on June 1, 1997 and was named “Enjoy Yourself,” timestamped after the arrival of both of their debut albums. The late 1996 releases became a point of contention for the two, and it was reportedly over the fact they wore the same outfit in their album packaging. They were supposed to record their ill-fated collaborative album Thelma & Louise in ’97 as well, but the beef ended all talks of working together again.
Foxy Brown Calls DJ Envy ‘A Cocksucker’ Over Don Pooh Interview
In a 2011 interview with Vibe magazine, Foxy’s brother Gavin even said Lyor Cohen was ready to give both Foxy and Kim $500,000 each to come to the Hit Factory in Miami and record the album and they didn’t want to go. The tension was that real.
Fans are hopeful for a Verzuz between the two rap legends, though they’re not necessarily holding their breath. But hey – if Jeezy and Gucci could make it to the Verzuz stage, anything can happen!
The Thelma & Louise Project would’ve been FIRE!!! But Beef, tho’……..
Nope, Don’t Care Still
Yes right
Hmm

They stole my track name
Underrated comment
Yes sir,seem like it flew over peoples heads
Yes sir,seem like it flew over peoples heads
Only your song came out in 98 while theirs was recorded in 97. Nice try, though.
WAITING COME ON LADIES but Thelma and Louise album will still be fire but I’m also waiting get that money Kim and foxy! ????
Kim already be Foxy out years ago. She’s also not a Rap legend as to where Kim is. Foxy would just be capitalizing off of the controversy from having a beef with the Queen B like she’s always done her entire career. They’re needs to be another battle. It’ll just be boring to me… to see Kim still weaping the same rapchicks ass from the 90’s. When will they just let her be great??? KIM HAS NEVER been in the same lane as her WANNABE’S! THOSE GIRLS NEVER MATCHED HER TALENT SKILL OR CONVICTION!!! SHE’S THE ORIGINATOR AND HAS SET THE BAR…FOXY CAN NEVER REDEEM HERSELF. WE’LL ALL BE DEAD AND GONE BEFORE ALL THAT HAPPENS… NO DOUBT KIM HAS ALREADY WON BEFORE THEY BEGUN…TRY AGAIN…LOL!
Rashad ‘Ringo’ Smith!! Good to see a heavy weight producer get some coverage, this man produced timeless records. Busta Rhymes’ ‘Woo Ha’ just being one of them.
So he’s got unreleased B.I.G and Tribe and I’m supposed to care about a Foxy/Kim collab? GTFOH..
That Tribe remix already dropped in ’93 as a B-side…but YES we need to hear that B.I.G. remix.
Wowww So They do have a joint in the stash. Would love to hear that record. Most of all I still would like to know how their beef started. That’s Still a Mystery for real. Rashad got some joints over there. Ummmm Unreleased B.I.G Joint too??
Someone told the story already foxy stole Kim props on stage and kim turn off her mic
It’s no mystery, it started on hot97
OMFG!!!!!! THE FACT THAT NO 1 THOUGHT OF THE IDEA 2 PUT THESE 2 GODESSESS 4 VERSUZZ, IS BEYOND ME!!!!!!!! AM I RIGHT…? NO…? ok
