I got a question about the remix. Diddy said something like "I went to war with a whole coast, now I getting for it"

I thought Diddy and BIG always said there wasnt a beef with Death Row or anybody from the West.

Can anyone clarify??

Paper Planes just got rebirthed when SLU came out now all the rappers making freestyles over it but SLU and that Pineapple Express movie gave it morepopularity but song is bout 2 years old

 

[tephlon]

Sort of off-topic, but what did she do to get big that everyone alludes to? I've heard comments like...

Person A : She should thank Pineapple Express for her fame

Person B : She isn't thanking anyone, trust me.

 

[numba1kickrocka]

yeah Paper planes been out for a minute but for some reason the radio stations out here are now sweating it. I first heard that one song where the vid is herand like mad different backgrounds i cant remember the title

 

[meth68]

All I know Trey Songz killed paper planes remix.

Maya was still international when it came to touring even before Pineapple Express.

but as for the hook;

it was a matter of time before someone sampled her voice, didn't know it would take this long.
