The song samples and interpolates elements of "Candy Girl" by New Edition.

Criticism

During "The Champ" from 2006's Fishscale, Ghostface Killah asks "Y'all stuck on Laffy Taffy/Wonderin' how'd y'all niggas get past me?" Ghostface had mocked the "snap dance" during his 2005 tour.

Most recently, in 2010, Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio ranked the song at #44 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever, stating that the song was "o bad that even can't make it sound any worse."
