At the beginning of their song they dissed another kid group Another Bad Creation when Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly said "don't try to compare us to another bad little fad". The original song's introduction contained a sample of Another Bad Creation's song "Playground" which was followed by a scratching sound giving the effect that their record was being taken off to play "Jump".
