Here, Jay-Z addresses divisions within the hip-hop community. There always have been beefs between rappers, especially between the different generations – indeed Jay-Z himself has been suspected of exchanging subliminal disses with the much younger Drake. This song is the Brooklyn MC's call for all hip-hop artists to get along. He explained to iHeart Radio: "'Family Feud' is about separation within the culture. Like, new rappers fighting with old rappers, saying all these things. So, the line is, 'Nobody wins when the family feuds.'"
Jay's wife Beyoncé contributes background vocals throughout the song and also delivers its outro.
