Background and content[edit]

Papa

The title is based on one of The Notorious B.I.G.'s many nicknames. The line, 'I love it when you call me Big Poppa' is sampled from his verse from the Super Cat song, 'Dolly My Baby' released in 1993. The song also samples the beat from The Isley Brothers' 1983 hit 'Between the Sheets.' It also makes a reference to the original Bad Boy artist Craig Mack, with the line, 'now check it, I got more Mack than Craig in the bed..'.
