The Public Enemy frontman, who recorded the track on his birthday (August 1st), said "Notice" was inspired by a number of different events, including the recent media frenzy over Soulja Boy's allegedly purchase of a $55,000,000 jet, which turned out to be a hoax.
Chuck D. told AllHipHop.com that his lyrics are not meant to offend Soulja Boy, Jay-
"In these difficult times for many people (especially of color), this is a call to artists to continue to inspire, but to reflect the people better than the media does," Chuck D. said of "Notice."
According to Chuck D., the song is simply a call for fellow artists to "counteract the media's overzealousness in reporting," by better representing the fans who listen to their music.
“Here’s to hoping that the Jay-Z & Kanye supergroup can elevate the masses to try a little bit more to reflect Otis’ heart rather than swag, because they're too good to be less,” Chuck D. said.
