Raekwon: The [opening skit] was something me and Ghost really wanted to stress, because around that time we was really buying Clarks left and right. We had bumped into a Chinese nigga who could dye shit. That was Ghost’s man. And we was just runnin’ back and forth to that nigga every time we wanted to go get some shoes. Back then, we was into shoes hard. We wanted to wear Clarks because the shits was comfortable and nobody in the game was fuckin’ with ’em. So you know, we’d be going to dye shit, and that’s where Ghost came up with the idea to slice ’em. I was the solid-color nigga; he was the striped nigga. We started coming up with different flavors. So he was letting niggas know, “I wanna get a pair of Clarks like, I’m a murder ’em!”
