Erykah taps into her inner B-girl and pays homage to the late great Notorious B.I.G. on tracks like "Turn Me Away (Get Munny)," which features elements of the Junior M.A.F.I.A. featuring Notorious B.I.G. classic banger, "Get Money". Erykah uses money as a metaphor for love, time, affection, laughter, and all the good parts of her lover. “I look like a model/ I’ll do what I got to stay in the running/ ’Cause I want your money,” she boasts. But what she longs for, above all, is control. “Let me drive your car because honey I want you bad!” she sings. Also on the album B.I.G. is also sampled on "Fall In Love (Your Funeral)" on which she actually has a harmonious version of Biggie's classic "Warning" track which goes, "there's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing if my burglar alarm starts ringing," over a thump redolent of Alicia Keys' "Unbreakable.".
