In “Die Like a Rockstar” Brown raps about his copious drug experimentation and how he will inevitably die like a stereotypical rockstar.
The song is also somewhat inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s films as said in this interview:
“Those rock star references, that’s me just watching a lot of documentaries. I was thinking like a Quentin Tarantino movie when I heard the beat, you know how his movies always start off crazy and action-packed? I wanted the beginning to be wild and crazy, but still scare the shit out of you at the same time. I didn’t want to make a party, because to me it’s a party song! Dark ass party! It’d be a party song in hell. I didn’t want to make a party song about drugs that sounds cool, like a Juicy J song. The parts with celebrities…Wikipedia will take you a long way!“
Producer SKYWLKR says the sample came from Melvin Bliss' “Synthetic Substitution“. A popular soul track, “Synthetic Substitution” was also sampled in Naughty By Nature’s hit “O.P.P.“, Wu-Tang Clan’s “Bring da Ruckus“, and G.O.O.D. Music’s “New God Flow“.
