In the mid-2000s, Chris Brown was quickly becoming one of the biggest stars in R&B, but there was one hit that almost ended up in his catalog: J. Holiday’s "Bed." The song, written by The-Dream, became a major success for J. Holiday, but it was originally considered for Chris Brown. However, due to its risqué lyrics, Brown’s label felt it was not the right fit for the then 18-year-old singer. In an interview with Real Talk NY, The-Dream explained the situation: “Before me and Chris even had a discussion, we were talking to executives over there, and it was just concerning certain lyrical content of the song, and they wanted to change a lot of it. And I wasn’t going to do that; it would have put in jeopardy the integrity of the song based on trying to get it on an act that was 18 years old.” Ultimately, the decision was made not to alter the song’s lyrics, and the track found a new home with J. Holiday, who put his own spin on it. The-Dream stood by his vision for the song, preserving its integrity and allowing it to become the hit we know today.

When Jay-Z was crafting his anthem "Empire State of Mind," his first choice to sing the iconic hook wasn’t Alicia Keys, but none other than Mary J. Blige. In a 2010 interview with the Miami Times , Jay-Z revealed that he was just "two seconds away" from calling Blige to request her vocal talents for the song’s chorus.

Her signature sound, combined with her piano-playing prowess, struck a chord with him, and he realized that Keys was the right fit for the track. The collaboration between Jay-Z and Keys ultimately created one of the most defining anthems of New York, with "Empire State of Mind" becoming a massive hit. Though Blige was passed over for the song, the choice of Alicia Keys proved to be a perfect match, blending her soulful voice with Jay-Z’s sharp lyricism to create a timeless ode to their hometown.
