Songfacts®:

  • This Schoolboy Q featuring track has a lengthy title - originally it was even longer. Tyler, The Creator explained to Billboard magazine: "The song was done but didn't have a title. I'm doing credits, so I'm like, 'Let's just call it something stupid so we could laugh at it ourselves.' We tried to think of the blackest name possible - we came up with Kardisha, Leroy. Darkeese Latifah is what came up. Then I was like, 'Let's make this ridiculously long.' It was originally called 'The Brown Stains of Blackeese Latifah Part 6-12 (The Remix) (Rough Draft) (Club Edit) (Rodney Jerkins Mix).' That was too damn long, so we cut some short. But I thought it'd be funny if people walked up like, 'Hey Tyler, 'The Brown Stains of Darkeese Latifah Part 6-12 The Remix' is such a great song!' [Laughs]"
