Words from Eminem
“Dre had the [Alfred Hitchcock] sample years ago, and he made a beat to it, and one day it just popped in my head, I can’t remember why, so I hit him, and I was like, “Yo, whatever happened to that beat?” And he was like, “Oh, it’s still around.” But the beat was different, I just updated it a little bit with drums and shit. But it was off that that I started thinking, “Yo, that whole concept is crazy, ‘Music to Be Murdered By’ — I wonder if I could play off this whole Alfred Hitchcock thing.”
