Karate Chop (song)

It was produced by Metro Boomin and originally featured a verse from Free Band Gang member Casino.

[4][5] On May 10, the song's official remix was released featuring Rick Ross, French Montana and Birdman, called the RichMix.

Pitchfork Media ranked it number 80 on a list of the 100 best songs of 2013: "His staccato-fied rhymes, supremely druggy performance, and computer-assisted warble reduce his verses to a jumble of phonemes that you have to squint at to recognize as actual words.

Combined with a beat by wunderkind producer Metro Boomin’ that pairs a Hendrix-y synthesized guitar lick with blaring Inception-style horns, the song announced his new push into updating 60s psychedelia for the digital age.

(On the version which appears on Honest, only Till's name is edited) [11] On May 3, 2013, Lil Wayne was dropped from his endorsement deal with Mountain Dew because of the lyrics.
