"I can't remember 16 bars," Thug noted in a 2015 interview. "I just do it bar for bar. I did a song in eight minutes. I thought everybody could write songs that fast. But working with a lot of them, they don't. Wayne and Drake, it takes them so long to do a song. I understand why, because they want it to be perfect. But I think I can do a perfect song in ten minutes. I did 'Danny Glover' in eight minutes. 'Stoner' took me almost an hour."

Sharon Green, a.k.a. MC Sha-Rock, began as a local b-girl, or breakdancer, in the earliest days of South Bronx hip hop scene and culture in the late 1970s but went on to become a founding member of the Funky Four Plus One. Within the hip-hop community she has been referred to as the "Mother of the Mic".

Within the group, she picked up the nickname "L. Boogie" for her lyrical skills.
