Songfacts®:

• This instrumental is titled for a scene in the 1983 hip-hop movie Wild Style where the rapper Busy Bee lays out some cash on a mattress in the shape of the letter B. When someone asks him what he's doing, he says, "B for my name."
  
  Beastie Boys were big fans of the film. Their 1992 track "Professor Booty" incorporates some of its dialogue.
• This is the first track on The Mix-Up, an all-instrumental album by Beastie Boys. After starting families in the late '90s, they started working remotely, sending each other tracks and piecing them together. They wanted to get back in the studio together, and by making it an instrumental project, they didn't have to worry about lyrics, which took a huge load off. Predictably, the album wasn't a big seller (it peaked at #15 in America; their previous three albums all went to #1) but they had fun making it.
• Beastie Boys' longtime associate "Money" Mark Nishita wrote this song with the group and played the Farfisa organ, Clavinet, and Fender Rhodes piano. Nishita started working with the group on their 1992 album Check Your Head.
  
  Also on the track is percussionist Alfredo Ortiz. The rest of the instrumentation was by the group: Ad-Rock played guitar, MCA played bass, and Mike D handled the drums.
