Ice-T was a recent guest on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN where he talked about the connection between Schoolly D's groundbreaking 1985 hit, "P.S.K. - What Does It Mean?" and his own "6 'N The Mornin'."

"I was in a club in Santa Monica when I heard [P.S.K.]," he remembered. "I don't ever get high, but the music sounded like angel dust. All that reverb. That record fucked me up. This dude was rappin' about a gang. Park Side Killers."

Ice then went on to explain that "6 'N The Mornin'" was patterned after "Hold It Now Hit It" by the Beastie Boys.

"They were yellin' over a drum machine, then the beat would stop and then start. '6 N The Mornin'' also started and stopped." Ice-T explained that he copied the cadence of Schooly's delivery on P.S.K. when he wrote "6 N The Mornin'".

Ice explains that the Ice Cube written, Eazy E delivered "Boyz-N-The-Hood" follows the P.S.K. cadence as well.

"All of 'em, same shit," he says. "[Dr.] Dre will tell you that 'Boyz In The Hood' is '6 N The Mornin'' part two. Schoolly D inspired '6 'N The Mornin',' but I added the guns, drugs and other shit because Schooly was vague. He heard it and told me that shit is hard. When Cube came out with 'Boyz-N-The-Hood' I got it. It was one record paying homage to the next."
