KXNF Crooked stated his interview with Eminem with the asking what made Marshall look for inspiration in old Hitchcock’s album?
Marshall explained that the sample he heard years ago and one beat just stuck in his head. And that led to the whole story to unravel:
Dre had a sample a 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 was like, “yo, what ever happened to that beat?” And he was like, “oh, it’s still around”. But the beat was different. I just updated a little bit with some drums and shit. It was based off that. Then 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”. And then Dre started hit me with ideas. He was like, “yo, you have to listen to this album that he has”, So he sent me the link to that. And I started listening and I was like, “yo, I could base the whole album off that”.
There was actually some stuff that didn’t make it on there that I was trying to get on there but we could not really work it out with the sample clearing. But I had it even more intertwined that it was, when we had to pick and choose the best pieces.
