Projec History:
This particular collaboration was recorded and mixed at A&M Recording Studios
in 1998 in La Brea avenue, Hollywood, California.
From the Producer, Rick Dutch (quote):
“I produced and co-wrote the title track from "The Player's Club" Movie (Ice Cube's Directorial Debut) entitled "We Be Clubbin'" in 1997. The song was an instant hit and the following year, we all thought it to be a good idea to do a remix version of the song entitled "We Be Ballin'" featuring MJ & Shaquille O'Neal.
The song was to be released on an NBA Compilation album set to be released that year and was also going to be featured in the infamous NBA "I Love This Game" themed commercials. The NBA season was cut in half that year due to the player initiated strike against the league and the entire project seemed to just disappear.
