I turn on Hot 97 and right before I was about to turn the dial off, I hear “Premier, Premier, please call me if you hear me on the radio.” He told me he wanted to buy the promo.

So he goes live on the radio like “yo Premier, if you’re out there, call me.” One of my homeboys paged me and told me that Puffy was on the radio telling me to call him. Puffy was guest hosting the show and when he heard the promo he was like “what the hell, who did this?” and Angie told him I did it.

Back then she did a show called the “Hot 5 at 9″ where she would play the top 5 records at 9 o’clock. The track was actually a promo that me and Jeru did for Angie Martinez on Hot 97. Producer DJ Premier told The Combat Jack Show in 2013: This song was originally made as a demo for Angie Martinez’s radio show on Hot 97. If you’re not being arrested, never be seen communicating with the police.Never let anyone know what your next move will be.Never let anyone know how much money you have.It’s the same copy his mom was reading in the “Juicy” video. Many believe B.I.G drew inspiration for this song from the July 1994 issue of The Source magazine. In “Ten Crack Commandments,” Biggie presents himself as the Moses of the drug game, juxtaposing the force of God with the dark forces of capitalism, much like Jay Z’s “D'Evils” As in “D'Evils,” the ruthless street religion is stronger than Christianity.
