Song Info

Production

The song was produced by Ruff Ryder's producer Swizz Beatz, who also contributed vocals on the chorus, various ad libs in between verses, and a short, introductary passage at the beginning. The beat contains the trademark Swizz Beatz siren throughout, as well as horn sounds and pounding drums.

Rihanna Diss

Towards the end of verse three, a short diss is sent towards Rihanna: " I ain't gon' front, that Pon De Replay shit was kinda hot, not!, how you gonna jack Will Smith for a beat, its like trying to jack me for the streets", probably due to the fact that Rihanna is signed to Def Jam Recordings, the label DMX left because of creative differences.

Samples

The song samples "The Champ" by Ghostface Killah, which was featured on WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007.
