Contents

Background

Prodigy's verse contains a subliminal diss towards Jay-Z, in response to Jay-Z having dissed Prodigy during his live performance at 2001's Summer Jam and in his diss track Takeover.

Music video

The music video was directed by Diane Martel & features a cameo by DJ Kay Slay. Although Vita raps on the chorus of the song, she does not appear in the music video because Irv Gotti who was the boss of her record label Murder Inc. Records, wouldn't allow her to do so due to Prodigy beefing with Jay-Z and dissing him in the song, as Irv Gotti and Jay-Z had a strong friendship.
