Music Video for “It’s all about the benjamins” featuring lil Kim, the lox, the Notorious BIG from puff’s album ” No way out ” , 1998. It’s All About the Benjamins” is best known as the fourth single released from the Puff Daddy album No Way Out. The song is about living rich and the importance of having money. “Benjamins” are slang for 0 bills (USD), a reference to Benjamin Franklin’s image on the bills. The song created a pop-culture phrase and influenced the title for the film All about the Benjamins. The song originated from a mixtape debuted by DJ Clue. This version of the song only featured Puff Daddy and the rap act The Lox (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 the late Notorious BIG This version of the song also omitted the word “Hebrew” out of Jadakiss’ verse. This single made it to No. 2 on the Billboard charts and its video won a “Viewer’s Choice” award at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards show. Due to the rarity of the obscure mixtape version, the remix featured on No Way Out is often considered the song’s original version to avoid confusion. The song samples two other pieces of music. The first sample heard up to the end of Lil Kim’s verse is taken from the song “I Did It For Love” by the Love Unlimited Orchestra. The verse performed by Notorious BIG contains a sample from the Jackson 5 song “It’s Great to Be Here.” This
