The duo's beats built on the hard-hitting sound of Run-D.M.C. by adding James Brown samples and Eric B's extensive scratching skills, setting the stage for hip hop's late-1980s/early-1990s infatuation with samples from the Godfather of Soul.

His next album Power was released in 1988, under his own label Rhyme Syndicate, and it was a more assured and impressive record, earning him strong reviews and his second gold record. Released in 1989, The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech... Just Watch What You Say established his popularity by matching excellent abrasive music with narrative and commentative lyrics.

The song's drum track is sampled from a Johnny Jenkins cover of Dr. John's "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" from the 1970 album Ton-Ton Macoute.  During the song's break, there is a sample of a line of dialogue from the 1994 Steve Hanft-directed film Kill the Moonlight, which goes "I’m a driver/I’m a winner/Things are gonna change, I can feel it".

The song heavily sampled The Knack's "My Sharona". The chorus' words and beat also closely follow Toni Basil's 1982 pop song Hey Mickey. In 2006, The Knack sued Run D.M.C. for using an unlicensed sample. In reference to why it had taken twenty years to bring their case to court, the group said they had only recently become aware of the track

Sampling technology that became identified with many hip hop songs and with many bands was barely prominent in its music, and, subsequently, the group never fully relied on it to create its sound, yet this example does sample an exerp of Syl Johnsons "Different Strokes"
