>it wasnt "pivatol"

Spring 1993 - Puffy is still working at Uptown, though under a watchful eye because well he wasn't working well with others. But he's earned room because of his success with Mary. He's done enough to get his own label out from under Harrell but it isn't forthcoming. So he's already got it in his mind to move on. He's hoping to take Mary with him in the deal but despite bring her in they aren't going to let him go out with her.

So he's working to buzz his own unattached (soon to be attached to him) artists. Who's the Man soundtrack and lines up Big for his first solo release which actually kicks off the soundtrack and he manages to get pressed as a single for vinyl.

So this goes out beyond NY as a promo single on the uptown imprint, and what's one of the most memorable lines on it?

"I'm A BAD BOY"

Bad Boy didn't exist yet. This was the first Bad Boy song which he managed to promote using another label's budget. It markedly drew a line between Puffy's work with Uptown and what would become Bad Boy. Before that remember Puffy's claim to fame was Mary J Blige. It was a very pivotal track in the history.

That doesn't mean it was a club or smash it, or that it wasn't a regional song. Doesn't even mean you have to like it. But respect history, and if you don't know the history, you can ask, rather than getting defensive.
