How I'm Comin' (Instrumental)

This remix is a Bronx mashup including two songs including Big Pun's Still Not a Player song and Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz Deja Vu song.  The songs were completely remastered by PDAWG to give it a smooth east coast sound.  Both videos contain cameo appearances by Fat Joe.

"Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" is a song by American East Coast hip hop duo Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. It was released in December 1997 through Columbia Records as the lead single from their debut studio album Make It Reign. Produced by KNS, the song peaked at #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100, at #21 on the UK Singles Chart, at #29 on the Official New Zealand Music Chart, and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on March 31, 1998 for sales of a million copies. However, the duo's success would be short-lived, as they broke up in 1999 without releasing a follow-up album or single.

Recording sessions took place at The Cutting Room in New York with recording engineer DJ Nastee assisted by David Crafa. It was mixed at The Hit Factory by Ken "Duro" Ifill assisted by Tony G. The song is built around a sample of Steely Dan's "Black Cow". In exchange for clearing use of the sample, Steely Dan requested an advance payment of $115K as well as 100% of publishing royalties, and as a result of this agreement, Steely Dan members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are the sole credited songwriters on "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)". The song opens with a sample from "Amores Como El Nuestro" by Jerry Rivera (which was also sampled by Shakira for her song "Hips Don't Lie").

Three remixes were made for the song: The Frankenstein remix produced by Frank "Frankenstein" Fallico, the Pro Black remix produced by Ayatollah, and a Bad Boy remix that was made by Ma$e, The LOX and Puff Daddy.

Tatyana Ali's song "Daydreamin'", released later in 1998, used the same "Black Cow" sample and featured both Tariq and Gunz. Gunz even mentions hearing "Black Cow" and being inspired to rap to the beat.

The "Still Not a Player" song is a remix of Big Pun's previous single "I'm Not a Player" produced by Minnesota and contains an interpolation of Joe's "Don't Wanna Be a Player". It also samples "A Little Bit of Love" by Brenda Russell. In addition to samples, the song contains interpolations of Earth, Wind & Fire's Brazilian Rhyme (Beijo)"; towards the end of the song, the refrain "Punisher...Punisher...Punisher, Big Punisher" is sung to the tune and rhythm of the lead vocals from the track. The song peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot R&B Hip-Hop Songs chart, making it the most successful single released by Big Pun. It was ranked the 108th best song of 1980-2005 by Blender magazine, and was ranked #76 on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs.

PDAWG's Underground Mix Tapes and CD's were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000's in the US, Canada and United Kingdom.

As featured on Wayneandwax.com: "I finally had a chance to go through my Hindi remix CDs after a week in New York City. Six years ago (2002) 74th St. in Jackson Heights, Queens was stuffed with Indian (Hindi & Punjabi) music shops on both sides of the street, and on all cross streets, but now there are only two music shops left on the main strip. The downloaders have won, the community music shop is fading away.  Pdawg presents ”Mango Mix The Album” has a track called “Addictive Indian Mix” which uses the “Addictive” break, Lata’s vocals, and Rakim’s original rap. It mixes in a new flute part and the “koo koo koo” vocals from Choli Ke Peeche." Posted by The Incredible Kid Radio DJ from Portland, Oregon.
