Comedian and actor Lavell Crawford also makes an appearance at the end and beginning as J-Kwon's father.
The official remix (frequently referred to as "Still Tipsy") features fellow St. Louis rappers Chingy and Murphy Lee. Sway DaSafo sampled the song's beat for "Pepsi", an anti-drinking spoof song on his debut album.
