This song samples Kool & the Gang's hit "Hollywood Swingin'" from 1973. In this song, the rapper Mase is trying to incorporate aspects of funk into rap. The music is copied from Kool & the Gang with slight adjustments to make the song sound more like the rap genre. In the middle of the song, Puff Daddy's lyrics state "Take hits from the 80's? But do it sound so crazy?" These lyrics suggests that Puff Daddy and Mase are improving upon the 80's music by incorporating it into the rap genre.
