Da Brat Ft Notorious Big & Jd

Okay, let's talk Da Brat. Remember her? The queen of So So Def, rocking those baggy clothes and delivering fire verses?

And then there's Biggie Smalls. Need I even say more? The dude was a legend. Plain and simple.

Then we have Jermaine Dupri (JD). The hitmaker. The producer who could turn anything into gold.

Da Brat's Debut: A Big Deal

Her first album, "Funkdafied," was HUGE. Everyone was bumping it. It felt like she came out of nowhere and just dominated the radio.

But here's where I'm going to say something possibly controversial: Da Brat featuring Notorious B.I.G. and produced by JD... could've been even bigger.

The "Gotta Thing" Remix...Almost?

Imagine this: A remix of "Gotta Thing" with Biggie spitting bars. JD laying down an even harder beat.

I know, I know, it never happened. We can only dream. But let's dream a little, shall we?

Biggie's flow on a Da Brat track? It's like peanut butter and chocolate. A match made in hip-hop heaven, right?

Why This Collab Would've Slayed

First, Biggie's storytelling. He could paint a picture with his words. Imagine him adding that to Da Brat's already killer flow.

Secondly, JD's production magic. He just knew how to make a hit. Adding Biggie to the mix? Guaranteed platinum.

Think about the impact. East Coast meets Midwest swagger. Boom! Instant classic.

Unpopular Opinion Time

Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. But I think a Da Brat and Biggie collab, handled correctly by JD, could have solidified Da Brat's place even further in hip-hop history.

I’m not saying she wasn’t successful. She was! But this collab could have been legendary. Like, Mount Rushmore legendary.

Maybe I'm overhyping it. But I just can't help but think about what could have been.

Let's Be Real: The What-If Factor

We can't rewrite history. Biggie is gone too soon. Da Brat is still a legend in her own right.

But it's fun to imagine these "what if" scenarios. Especially in hip-hop, where collaborations can create some truly magical moments.

Maybe there are unreleased tracks out there somewhere. A girl can dream, right?

A Final Thought

So, next time you're listening to "Funkdafied," take a moment to imagine Biggie on a remix. Think about JD tweaking the beat, adding that extra bit of magic.

It might just make you appreciate Da Brat's skills even more. And make you miss Biggie even more.

Unpopular opinion? Maybe. But I stand by it. Da Brat featuring Notorious B.I.G. produced by JD… would have been pure fire.
