Reference to 50 Cent’s then infamous “How To Rob” single where he mentions robbing a bunch of artists but nobody on this song is mentioned, so this is more hubris than dissing.

By now, Quik realizes he is being dissed heavy by CMW, so he starts to become more vocal in responding back. On CMW’s It’s a Compton Thang, on the track This is Compton, Mc Eiht subliminally calls out Quik to go “toe-to-toe” so he can “dray my mic and start dumpin'.”

Pebbles and Bamm Bamm are two characters in the Flintstones. The children of the Rubble and Flintstones families. Often assumed to grow up and become romantically interested in each other. The show is known for its affluent references to various rock and granite elements.

Quik is chopping crack rocks up to sell but how he words it, makes it seem like he’s making a reference to Bamm Bamm breaking down Pebbles in bed.

A clucker is a term used in a number of 1980s songs from Compton artists such as N.W.A, Eazy-E, and King Tee as a way to describe desperate dope fiends. As they go scrounging for cash to buy drugs, they resemble chickens clucking and pecking at chicken feed on the ground. Quik’s example of a clucker is a woman that is so desperate for drugs that she will give up her body for sex to fulfill her addiction.

After calling out AMG throughout the song, Quik wants to settle their conflict. The way he presents the question recalls a scene from the 1973 movie The Mack:

We can settle this like you got some class
Or we can get into some gangsta shit

He uses the word “skanless” which is a variation of the word “scandalous.” This appears to be a favorite of Quik and his crew, as his associate Hi-C named his debut album Skanless with a track on the album called “2 Skanless” which followed “Skanless” from DJ Quik’s debut album, Quik is the Name.

In an interview Swizz Beatz mentions how the outro was originally unscripted and it was just Swizz, acting out for fun, pretending to be a dj in the club spinning records.

When X heard it he liked it and asked him to run it back and add some of his own ad-libs to it. The second part that’s all Swizz was purely on the fly improvisation that they left on.
