The song originated from a mixtape debuted by DJ Clue. This version of the song only featured Puff Daddy and the rap act The L.O.X. (excluding Styles P). The song was later added to Puffy's debut album, No Way Out, in a remix, "It's All about the Benjamins (Remix)", which added two new verses by Lil Kim and Notorious B.I.G. This version of the song also omitted the word "Hebrew" out of Jadakiss' verse, although when it was released on the Bad Boy's Greatest Hits Vol. I album, it retained the word.
