Read where RZA stated that originally this beat was supposed to go to GZA.

Raekwon: The way RZA had it poppin’ back then, we would come into his spot. It was like dudes would come in on their own time and create stuff. I remember I just came in, and the beat was just pumpin’. I wrote the hookβ€”that was the first thing I did. I think one of my mans just got hit with some heavy time around that time. I had a lot of nikkas up there, too. So, it was like, Yo, this one gotta be for them nikkas right here. This right here will be just for them nikkas in jail. It won’t be for nobody else. I just wrote it out real quick. I did three verses on that, so Ghost didn’t have to come in and really do anything to it.

RZA: I wasn’t making that beat for Rae. I was finished with Rae. I like having 13 tracks. I don’t like having 18. I was making it for GZA probably. He was next. But then Rae heard that beat, grabbed his pen and paper, and started writing. Two hours later, it was written.
