we did the line in early 98. the working title back then was called ‘'bullet’‘. sorta like the way way wu tang calls their lyrics ’‘darts’‘. it’s a curious song. it tells me that no matter how confident we seem, to be there’s always a tinge of doubt lurking in the background. it’s here that d addresses the controversy. ’‘i know the pressure is on, from every angle it’s coming, will i hang? or get left hangin? will i fall off? or is it bangin?……

one of our main gripes was…well his, was that he wanted the soul/loverman marvin/ al green shit to stop here. but that doesn’t mean that he can’t show influence while building his own personality. at close listen one can hear his voice morph into every style of black music from 20’s gospel quartet to prince. this is also a debut of a style that i started using called ‘'mother’s son’‘ style. i jacked it from curtis mayfeild’s drummer. he used this ill style in which he would hit the edge of the snare and rim shot at the same time on a song called ’‘mother’s son’‘ (well what do you know?!!) only bobby z. from prince and the revolution used this style on ’‘under the cherry moon’‘. since this song d makes me use this style on all his jams. matter of fact, i think i play the snare all of 3 times on this record. the rest is rim shot funk
