"Cold Blooded" is a funk song written and recorded by Rick James in 1983.

[2] During one of Blair's visits to James' home in Buffalo, New York, he took her to his recording studio.

[1] She was interested in learning how to write music so he fired up his synthesizer and absentmindedly began noodling with the keys and came up with the bass line.

He utilized the Roland TR series of drum machines which were dominant on the '80s-era Jimmy Jam-and-Terry Lewis-produced hits of The S.O.S.

[3] In 1999, the song was covered by American rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard and included on his album Nigga Please.
