Background

The instrumental was first used by rapper T.I. for a freestyle on his mixtape, Down With The King.[1] Jeezy ended up using the beat for his album. After, an extended version of the album version leaked online featuring Jeezy's original 3 verses, in addition to new verses by Jay-Z and Fat Joe.[2] The official single version used Jay-Z's verse from the extended version that leaked earlier, with the first and third verse from Jeezy's original album version.[3] It is rumored Fat Joe was removed due to the tensions between himself and Jay-Z. Later pressings of Jeezy's album replaced the original album version of the song with the single version.
