History
Production
The song shows the use of Pro Tools ability to create voice masking and voice doubling, with the fact that DMX does his vocals on the microphone, and then does them over the top of his previous audio track, to create a hazed, mellow sound, much like that of someone rapping with a 40 a Day voice.
Music video
The music video was shot in Baltimore, Maryland (unlike previous videos shot in New York City), and contains cameo appearances from The LOX.
In popular culture
- The song is featured in the 2002 video game Test Drive: Overdrive.
- The song is featured in the beginning of Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat.
- The song is featured in 2002 movie Ali G Indahouse.
