Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by Don Cannon and Kanye West, this track is highly renowned for its incredibly sparse, unorthodox beat consisting of an off-kilter, metallic bass thud and disjointed drum samples. The rapper utilizes the minimalist, cold backdrop to deliver razor-sharp lyricism focusing strictly on drug-trafficking success and pure street-level braggadocio. It remains a critically revered touchstone for experimental, boom-bap leaning hip-hop production.
