Common talks about civil rights and, most memorably, reminisces on the late J Dilla, a celebrated producer who was a close friend of his.
The primary components of this song’s production include an original piano/keyboard arrangement, credited to Omar Edwards (the musical director for several high profiles artists including Jay Z), a drum sample and a vocal sample.
The drums were lifted from the oft-sampled “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” by Paul Simon. The female vocal harmony that loops throughout the song’s verses is from “She’s Leaving Home” by Syreeta.
