On the track, Kimmel raps, “Me and my n-gga down in LBC, we’ll smoke that motherf-cking Christmas tree.”In a January 2013 podcast, Kimmel recalled recording the song, saying “This is when Snoop Dogg first came out, hit the scene, and I used to imitate him by only saying, ‘You know what I’m saying?'”“Jimmy, do you only do Back people?” someone asks.“I prefer them, yes,” Kimmel responds jokingly or non-jokingly — who knows.Just when.
