Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory himself has stated that he is a fan of the record.

Styles P also made a reference to the video game, 'Red Dead Redemption'.

Ross also uses "Archie Bunker" as a synonym for Cocaine. Archie Bunker was a white character in All In The Family who frequently made prejudiced or racist remarks.

The song was covered on the second part of the History of Rap skit by Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake on the Jimmy Fallon Show.
