I threw that off soon as the shot was done, I don’t know where the hell those suits are at. Everybody was in a happier space, for the most part. It was a very fun day - helicopter on set, gold shiny suits. The video budgets were bigger, the album budgets were bigger. Music was in a different space - there was more money being thrown around. Then once we did the video, that was when we could really let it all out - you sit with her for a few hours and you’re really feeling like somebody. Jadakiss: At that time, I was still a young kid - I was really in awe of Mariah. For a rapper to be able to get on a song with Mariah Carey, for it to be the kind of beat you could actually enjoy rapping over, that makes for a great session. When I heard it I was just really excited. Mariah gave me plum wine - back then I didn’t even know wine came in plum flavors. That was the first time I ever drank plum wine. Styles P: It was a real nice studio - the food layout was good, the liquor layout was good. I brought my element to the table, an organic one. It’s a very spontaneous game, and some of your biggest breaks may come just off something like that. That’s how spontaneous it was - I think we were doing a feature for somebody else. I don’t think Sheek was there, that’s why he’s not on the actual song. Either Stevie J or Puff - somebody came downstairs and was like, “Yo, leave your session and come upstairs, I need you to drop something on this Mariah record.” Being young, ambitious, and thirsty to better our career, we were like, “Hell yeah!” We stopped what we were doing and went upstairs. Jadakiss: We were in another session - we were downstairs, and Mariah was upstairs.

Q-Tip brought the sample to the table and me and Puff took it from there. We cleared the samples and it took no time to cut the sample and throw the drums and the keyboard on there. I’d say the session came together in four hours in one day. Once we started mixing the record in the Hit Factory, the LOX were in there and I asked Mariah, “Do you know the LOX?” And she’s like, “I love the LOX!” So I went into their session and they got on it. She was like ‘Do you bang on beat machines or do you play instruments?’ So we went to the live room and I had to get in there and play the piano.

She was full of life and wanted to see if we were real musicians. It was just fun - just smiles and jokes with a bottle of wine and a lot of Cristal. Stevie J: It was with me and Puffy in the studio working and he was like, ‘Yo, I’m gonna bring somebody through and we’ll see if we could get some work done with her,’ and it was Mariah. World’s Famous Supreme Team’s “Hey DJ” sample became an essential ingredient to Mariah’s smooth track “Honey.” Produced by Hit Men tandem Stevie J and Puff Daddy as well as A Tribe Called Quest‘s Q-Tip, the 1997 chart-topper became a Bad Boy affair with contributions from The LOX’s Jadakiss and Styles P, as well as Ma$e.
