With “Nothin’ On You” sitting at number 2 on the charts, producer Jim Jonsin tells 1515, that the Smeezingtons production was originally meant for Lupe Fiasco.
“I was actually working on a session in Chung King [Studios], and [Atlantic Records chairman] Craig Kallman called me during that session with that particular track, to work on it for Lupe Fiasco,” Jonsin told MTV News. “I told Craig, ‘I like the song a lot. It’s a smash and could be somebody’s single. But it’s not Lupe’s record. I need this record for B.o.B. Please give this record to B.o.B.’ I guess they went through whoever they went through, convinced whoever they needed to, and it got to B.o.B.”
Its true haha
Thats weird cus when this joint first came out id always get mixed up with this and beamin’ for some reason.. I guess it jus got that lupe vibe..
HE’S ABSOLUTELY RITE!!!! LUPE WOULD SOUND SILLY N OUT OF PLACE WIT THAT RECORD!!!! IRONICALLY, JIM JONSIN GOT A GOOD EAR FOR MUSIC EVEN THOU MOST OF HIS PRODUCTION IS CROSSOVER/COMMERCIAL HEAVY!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
His beats are smooth though, even though he looks like hed make some shit for nickelback or something
Lupe would make the beat boring with himself attempting to singing on the hook
LMAO then “somehow” it got to B.O.B.
B.O.B. signed with Jim Jonsin under a merger with grand hustle/atlantic.
I know people believe these magic storeis though
as much as i love Lupe.. that shit wouldn’t work out for him. B.O.B did it right.
if it was the same guy on the hook then I think it would of def been a hit for Lupe
the hook is what honestly makes that song
Industry rule #4080…
I’m just waiting for that jim jonsin and eminem song to come. interested to see what them two come up with.
COME ON EM, DROP THAT TRACK LIST AND ALBUM COVER.,
Supposedly there IS a lupe version in the atlantic office somewhere… Heard he MURDERED It but label politics got the best of him…
B.o.b is kinda boring on the verse. i think lupe would of made it more memorable for me
lupe would have kill this
