www.vladtv.com - Peter Gunz and his former partner in rhyme Lord Tariq's "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" was without a doubt their biggest record, but it began as a simple club chant Peter started when he felt Brooklyn and Queens were being represented harder than The Bronx, his native borough.
When he decided to add it to the official song and sample Steely Dan, the song became a street hit, leading to offers from various labels. Of course, with official music comes sample clearances, which Gunz says cost him 100% of the publishing plus $150,000. They paid it, which in hindsight Gunz says was "a stick-up." They even had to give up writing credit.
Gunz is also honest enough, however, to admit if he were in Steely Dan's shoes, he would have done the same thing. He also accepts responsibility for his own career, saying he regrets that he and Lord Tariq didn't follow up with another album.
Peep the clip above.
