Interesting facts and trivia about SMUCKERS (feat. Lil Wayne & Kanye West). By Songfacts®.

This track features Kanye West and Lil Wayne and samples "Metropolis Notte" by composer and arranger Gabriele Ducros. Tyler, the Creator originally came up with the song in 2011 and sent it to Jay Z and 'Ye. He told Billboard magazine: "They were going to use it, but I kind of took it back. I was trying to make horn sections and drum kicks that sound epic." "The second half is this jazz ensemble ["Metropolis Notte"]. I'm like, 'Oh my God, this is f--king amazing. Lil Wayne would sound so good over this,' Tyler continued. "I sent Wayne a reference of what I was going to put, and he sent me the verse back. I legit was about to cry."

This was the last cut that Tyler finished for the Cherry Bomb album. He said: "I played it for 'Ye at his house literally four days before the album was due. He was like, 'OK, I got to step my bars up. Y'all n----s is spitting.' It was such a sick thing to know that me and Wayne had to put 'Ye back on his feet. Like, what the f--k? I'm 24 years old. What am I going to look forward to at 30?" Tyler added: "I'm at the studio editing this s--t, making sure my verse is right, and I'm like, 'There's something missing.' So at 2 a.m. - while the album was due four hours ago - I f--king plugged my keyboard up and started adding f--king bells and a harder bass, strings and French horns. You can hear that on me and Kanye's verse, that's why that part is very musical. I added that so it could match the feeling of that second half, with that beautiful f--king epic orchestra."
