Artist commentary:
When thinking about how to remix WSW, I decided I wanted to try an experiment in making a song based almost entirely around samples. The original idea was to make a remix in a sort of Hideki Naganuma style; it went in a different direction, but I'm pretty happy with it regardless. Here's a hot tip: if you ever need cheesy prohibition-era gangster lines, look up public domain mob movies or something in that vein. There's so many out there!
I picked up a copy of Spades Slick's Pro Skater at the secondhand game store and boy, I was NOT disappointed!
