This song created a great deal of controversy for Diddy (known at the time as Puff Daddy) when he appeared in the video on a cross. Diddy ordered the scene removed before the video aired, but the wrong edit was sent to MTV, and it aired with his crucifixion scene in place. Diddy reacted by going to the office of Nas' manager Steve Stoute and hitting him over the head with a champagne bottle. Stoute sued, and the incident provided another example of real-life violence in the rap community.
This contains a sample from "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff.
This was originally a track that D-Moet did for Foxy Brown, but she didn't like it. As Nas felt it fitted on well with his I Am... record, he recorded it instead.
