He did sample TNGHT for this song though with the booming saxophones.

Are you sure he didn't sample that C-Murder song for the sax? It sounds the same. Either way, the horn part is why I enjoy that song. Guess Kayne can take no credit for me liking that one.

The lyrics you mention being combined with strange fruit feel like him desperately trying to court controversy to me, similar to the lyrics of "I'm in It". That's my biggest gripe about this album, the lyrics are so distractingly dumb and juvenile that I wish they were in another language so I could ignore them more easily.
