All About the Benjamins was released in 1997 by Puff Daddy, featuring The Notorious B.I.G., Lil Kim and The Lox, as a standout track from the album No Way Out. The title refers to Benjamin Franklin, whose portrait appears on the hundred-dollar bill, making Benjamins a long-running slang term for cash. The song became a defining late-nineties hip-hop anthem about wealth and ambition, and its instantly recognisable chorus has since been reused in countless edits, memes and short videos as a quick shorthand for getting paid and living large.
