"I Saw It Cummin'" was the first single released from PMD's debut album, Shade Business. It was produced by PMD and DJ Scratch and became PMD's most successful single during his brief solo career, peaking at 89 on the Billboard Hot 100, his only solo single to do so.

The song sampled the Ohio Players' "Funky Worm", Ice Cube's "No Vaseline" and Snoop Doggy Dogg's "What's My Name" and was a diss song aimed at his former musical partner Erick Sermon. The duo disbanded EPMD the previous year due to tensions stemming from a late 1991 burglary of PMD's home in which Sermon was allegedly involved.
