In 1997, R&B singer, Joe had a hit song called I Don't Wanna Be a Player. Big Pun was just putting his debut album together at the time, and he had done something with the same idea as Joe's hit song, so they decided to work together. The marriage was Still Not A Player, a song that was like a remix of Joe's hit, but an entirely new song. That song was a super hit in the summer of 1997. In this recent interview with VLAD TV, Joe spoke on the success of Still Not A Player, and how the song came about.
“The ‘Still Not A Player’ record was kinda funny because I had ‘Don’t Wanna Be A Player’ as my single at the time. And Pun had, I think, a similar record too. I’m not sure what it was called, but anyways the two songs were so similar we just sat down and chopped it up and was like ‘Yo, we should just merge the two.’ And played a few tracks and it came around to this one particular track. It just felt like the right one. And Fat Joe got with us. We got in the studio and I put the hook down. Pun apparently had his verse written out to a t. I didn’t think the record was gonna take off like that to be honest with you. It was one of those records where I loved it. I thought it was fun, but I didn’t know it was gonna be like a mega-mega-hit."
