The song was first conceived when MCA played the signature bass line one day in the studio and it immediately caught the band's attention. Both Ad-Rock and Mike D picked up their respective instruments and started building on it. The opening bass line is almost identical to the opening of Let There Be More Light by Pink Floyd from the album A Saucerful of Secrets. According to Ad-Rock in the 2020 Beastie Boys Story documentary, the lyrics is a fictitious rant about how their producer Caldato Jr. "was the worst person ever and how he was always sabotaging us and holding us back."

Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Music can be divided into genres and genres can be further divided into subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial.
