About this song
Berzerk was the first single from the album MMLP2. A snippet of the song was released during the commercials for the VMAs to build buzz for the album. The production, handled by Rick Rubin, has a golden-age feel reminiscent of the Beastie Boys, and the beat samples Billy Squier's "The Stroke".
What it's about
The song leans on allusions to 1990s pop culture and includes a few subtle jabs at new school rappers.
