Biggie & Black Rob - Jeans and Sneakers/Brooklyn Mint

Ive never heard this before and I thought Ive heard every BIG and Rob tune...

This is mad tough, anyone good any info on this, like what were the original verses are from??? As it sounds like an official mash up as B.R mentioned 05 in his verse...

Im guessing this tune was used for clothing commercial for either Sean John or more likely that Brooklyn Mint t shirt company BIG's fam dropped in the mid 2000's (as some people have labeled this tune as Brooklyn Mint)...


 
From what I can see it's not a mash up...

BIG and D Dot made the track, in 05 Black Rob was added and it was "released" to promote Brooklyn Mint...

"In 2004, his managers Mark Pitts and Wayne Barrow launched the clothing line with help from Jay-Z, selling T-shirts with images of Wallace on them. A portion of the proceeds go to the Christopher Wallace Foundation and to Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.[108] In 2005, Voletta Wallace hired branding and licensing agency Wicked Cow Entertainment to guide the estate's licensing efforts.[109] Wallace-branded products on the market include action figures, blankets, and cell phone content.[110]"

Yeah mash up maybe the wrong word, I meant Black Rob just added retrospectively to the track...

I wonder what original BIG verse was for though, as its very specific to clothing and doesnt seem the type of verse you would put on a normal song... I dont think Sean John was out then, maybe BIG had a Coogi or Karl Kani commercial lined up??? It sounds like hes rapping about jackets...

'Where the boots is tied tight and the jackets is thick'

'1X to 5X so no need for lost weight
affordable, way more cheaper than the North Face'

'The other daum jackets dont fit me, they just plain itty bitty,
Why cant a big guy stay fly???'

The OG verse is for Brooklyn Mint, he was going to start a Big & Tall clothing line called Brooklyn Mint...
 
I used to have the song with Black Rob's verse on 12" vinyl.

I don't remember what was on the other side.
 
Hearing Biggie doin multitrack vocals for a whole verse wild lol

Niggas gonna start faking 'unreleased' biggie verses w/ voice AI in a couple years
