The album's title derives from a line from a 2000 Kashal Tee song, "I'm All This", in which he says: "So fuck the commercial tracks you be doin'/A brother got to eat/Yeah? Why don't you rap for food then?" It is played in the intro of "Lynguistics" and Kashal Tee is also featured on the song "616 Rewind".
All tracks are produced by Kno, except where noted.
