Production The song was recorded in a studio in
Chicago. DMX's close friend Rudy "Kato" Rangel was also there while DMX was recording it. When DMX first heard the beat, he immediately came up with the lyrics for what would later be the first line of the chorus for the song, which also became the title of the song. The song's first verse criticizes
homosexuals, with lyrics including "Last I heard ya niggas was havin' sex/With the same sex/I show no love/To homo thugs". Ironically, DMX says "You hold my dick while ''he's'' sucking it" later in the song's third verse. The clean version does not have the third verse, unlike the explicit version. The producers for the song were the production group Tuneheadz. Recorded in 2003, it was one of the first singles to be available as a
digital download via
Amazon.com. The song samples "
I'll Play the Blues for You" by
Albert King. That song was originally sampled by
Big Daddy Kane for the song "Young, Gifted and Black". DMX stated that he was "in love with that beat when Kane did it".
Music video The music video is set in DMX's neighborhood in
Yonkers, New York. There are appearances from rappers
Drag-On,
Swizz Beatz (who performs the intro for the clean and music video version of the song),
Fat Joe and
Busta Rhymes, as well as deceased Ruff Ryders affiliate William 'Tiny' Jacobs. In the second half of the video, a song entitled "A'Yo Kato", produced by Swizz Beatz, was added to pay tribute to his fallen friend Rudy "Kato" Rangel. Rangel's widow Valerie, who appears on the outro of the song, appears at the end of the video. ==Critical reception==
