A lot of people have been doing tracks for Detox, lyrics wise, and I think Luda was playing off that or this really want sent to Dr.Dre.

"reference tracks" are rough drafts/outlines of tracks songwriters make to give the performer an idea of how the lyrics/song they're buying should be performed, the practice is way more common in r&b buying whole tracks isn't too common in rap but selling beats with reference hooks is pretty common a producer will typically get an average singer/aspiring songwriter to lay a hook over a beat and shop it around & usually when somebody buys it they have somebody more known re-do it, i'm sure everybodys heard tracks with some unknown guy on the hook and it doesn't sound that great, thats most likely just the mc/label being cheap/lazy and just using the reference track as the final cut when it was just meant to be a rough draft

anyway enough of music biz 101, i didn't think the track was that good at all, i wasn't feeling the lyrics or the beat, i hope it doesn't make it onto detox
