So the actual chorus on "Boats ’n Hoes" is me on the cellular phone conversing to the producer who manufactured it. McKay: We wrote it, and then I talked to the guy who created it, and I claimed to him on the phone, "It’s kind of like a hip-hop factor from the late ’80s, the place the chorus is like, ‘boats and hoes, boats and hoes.’" And he recorded me off the telephone.
