The samples came from some Chinese film, Triton drums and a lot of sounds from Portishead's website. We usually came off on the album as some carefree hedonists, but we all actually read from time to time. Tired of having our race card trumped by white privilege, we decided to voice our aggressions on this cut. The homie B-Roc came down for the weekend from the Land to lay down a verse. Everyone was on point on some pro-Black shit. It took us for ever to lay down the chorus as everyone sort of did it their own way, and not exactly as Jabari had originally intended. Jabari was usually the one able to formulate choruses best.
