History
The song debuted in 1996 on DJ Clue's Holiday Holdupmixtape. This version of thesong only featured Puff Daddy and the rap act The L.O.X. (excluding Styles P). The song was lateradded to Puffy's debut album, No Way Out, in a remix,'It's All about the Benjamins (Remix)', which added two new versesby LilKim and Notorious B.I.G. Lil Kim also provided thesong with a chorus which the original version lacked. This versionof the song also omitted the word 'Hebrews' out of Jadakiss' verse, however, theword was left in on the first pressing, subsequent pressingsremoved the word. Additionally, when it was released on the BadBoy's Greatest Hits Vol. I album, it retained the word. Thissingle made it to No. 2 on the Billboard charts and itsvideo won a Viewer's Choice award at the 1998MTVVideo Music Awards show. Due to the rarity of the obscuremixtape version, the remix featured on No Way Out is oftenconsidered the song's definitive version to avoid confusion.
The song samples two pieces of music. The firstsample heard up to the end of Lil Kim's verse is taken from thesong 'I Did It For Love' by the Love Unlimited. The verse performedby Notorious B.I.G. contains a sample from the Jackson 5 song 'It'sGreat to Be Here.' This latter sample is exclusive to the NoWay Out remix. After the final verse, the song reverts to thefirst sample and ends shortly after.
In 2008, it was ranked number 32 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.
Rockremixes
Puffy also released a rock version of the song, 'It's All aboutthe Benjamins (Rock Remix)'. This collaboration, also known as'Shot-Caller Rock Remix' and 'Rock Remix I', featured Tommy Stinson, Fuzzbubble, Rob Zombie and Dave Grohl on drums. This remix added guitarriffs and live drums, as well as a more 'in your face' approach tothe song's chorus. This version had its own music video, directedby Spike Jonze,which was nominated for Best Video Of The Year on MTV Video MusicAwards in 1998.
In 1999, Puffy performed this remix with a live band at GiantsStadium for the NetAid benefitconcert. This performance featured Slash on guitar as well as Lil' Cease and Lil' Kim on vocals.
There is also a slightly different alternative to this remixcalled, 'It's All about the Benjamins (Rock Remix II).' This lesserknown version adds Size 14to the song's already long collaboration line-up.
Both rock remixes of the song have yet to be releaseduncensored.
