It is also rumored the song, and the following music industry blacklisting of 50 Cent by Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff and his associates, led to the murder of Run DMC's Jam Master Jay. He defied the blacklisting by taking the young 50 Cent under his wing, introducing him to the music industry. According to an affidavit by IRS agent Francis Mace, law enforcement officials believed that the shooting in 2000 was in retaliation for the lyrics of the song.[3]

The song served as a basis for 50 Cent's rivals (mainly Ja Rule, Irv Gotti and the Murder Inc. camp, whom he was feuding at the time) to use against him, labeling him a snitch. Nevertheless, the song is noted by many critics as it portrayed the hustlers in an almost iconic stature to the masses (50 Cent even stated that it hurt him that "Fat Cat" snitched on "Pap[py]"). 50 Cent mentioned in a AllHipHop.com interview[4] that everybody mentioned in the song appreciated it and McGriff even told him that he loved the song. He also talked about how Nas' record "Get Down" from the album God's Son similarly mentions names, but few people consider anything wrong with it.

It was later added onto his 2002 compilation album Guess Who's Back.

The chorus to this song was sampled on Proof's solo CD Searching for Jerry Garcia on the song called "Forgive Me".

McGriff is alleged to have had a hand in the murder of Run D.M.C. D.J. Jam Master Jay and the shootings of 50 Cent. Persistent rumors have it that McGriff felt 50 Cent had exposed just a little too much on the drug kingpin of Jamaica, Queens and others involved in the drug trade through the lyrics of his 2000 mixtape song "Ghetto Qu'ran". Allegedly, McGriff ordered a rap industry blacklisting of 50 Cent as a result of this track, which Jam Master Jay violated when he helped the then-unknown artist launch his career
