This song is closely modeled after Slick Rick’s classic song of the same name. In Slick Rick’s version, a young man turns to a life of crime and ends up being gunned down by the police. Mos Def’s story echoes many of the themes (and rhymes) of Slick Rick’s original tale, but in the context of the music industry.
