Tech is using “Arriba!” to show how fast they can spit (pretty damn fast) and how some people have a hard time following or understanding what they’re saying. Furthermore, this could be a reference to Speedy Gonzalez, as he had a tendency to say “Arriba!” when he’d speed off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDZBzvTDhGU

As the hook plainly puts it:

You ain’t gotta like it
‘Cause the hood gone love it

This Kendrick Lamar-assisted hood anthem is the second single from Jay Rock’s Follow Me Home.

Producer Rook of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League talked about the track:

That was an old beat—I’m talking about when me and the guys first got together. And that sample came off of vinyl. It was Pointer Sisters. Isaac Hayes wrote it. How I chopped it—man, sometimes when you chop shit you just be in the zone. I remember saying, ‘Yo, I want all live claps.’ So we recorded a bunch of claps and live percussion. We added bass and added strings and all that.

So when it’s time to get on the album, we had to take the sample out. They didn’t want us to re-imagine it; they wanted it to sound exactly like the sample. So we had to replay the original sample to a tee. And we had to make it sound like it was off our shitty vinyl player. So when you hear the song, that is not a sample.

The beat samples “Easy Days” as performed by The Pointer Sisters.

The track was featured on the Grand Theft Auto V radio station, Radio Los Santos.
