When I heard it, I was like, man, me and [producer Noah "40" Shebib] could do something with this, and TLC used this as the intro on their album, so I used it as the intro on my mixtape. It’s track one and it’s a great song,” expressed Drake. “I love the words in it and I love how 40 flipped the beat, so I just decided to put it out and give people an idea of the direction the mixtape was going.”
