About this song
The song was produced by Just Blaze and builds on a slowed-down sample of Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up". It features Lupe Fiasco, and the text notes it was a breakthrough moment for him, with his album Food & Liquor following a year later. A lawsuit from Evel Knievel over the music video's suit-like imagery was settled after the two met, with Knievel calling Kanye "quite a gentleman".
