It was remixed by Ratatat on their 2007 album Ratatat Remixes Vol. 2.
It was also remixed by Red Flag Productions to the Miley Cyrus song "Party in the USA", to create "Party and Bullshit in the USA".
It was also remixed by Shane Rutherfoord-Jones as a breakout single in 2011, titled "SRJ's Party and Bullshit remix".
The official remix features his then-wife & widow Faith Evans.
The refrain "party and bullshit" was inspired by the song "When the Revolution Comes" by spoken word artists The Last Poets, however Wallace changed the meaning in his rap. Abiodun Oyewole of The Last Poets explained, "When we rapped, it was all about raising consciousness and using language to challenge people. When I wrote [about] 'party and bullshit' it was to make people get off their ass. But now 'party and bullshit' was used by Biggie, used by Busta Rhymes, but in a non-conscious way. That's difficult for us to deal with."[1]
