It was not a diss, but kind of like Pink Floyd doesnt do samples.
They dont do ads, either.
I wasnt going to take the lyrics and put it on another track.

I was just going to burn it.
Once we got to David, he was like, Fuck, yeah.
I love this song.
When he heard it was Ice-T, he approved it.
We are just kind of numb to everything thats going on, the starvation in the world, everything.
It must have struck a nerve in both of those guys.
I dont think they would have approved it had I made a record like Comfortable Buns or some shit.
Ernie was like, Fuck it,' says Ice-T.
I can see thats the god.
Let him do it.
And then it was really funny.
We were like, Does David need a studio?
They were like, David owns five studios.
When the song came back to us, we were like, Fuck.
They were like, Can you be in London next Thursday?
Im like, Sure.
Ill just fire up our 747, pick everyone up, and get over there.
Its just not that simple for us, so we had to pass.
People think you lose your hunger when you get some money.
But it can also make you more reckless.
It can give you some balls.
you’re able to go, Fuck It.
Im now going to say what I feel like saying.'
