Good point. According to Wikipedia the song was recorded in 2008 and Yauch was diagnosed in 2009. Although Yauch was sick a few months before being diagnosed so perhaps that fact triggered those lines somehow. I recall purchasing the Record Store Day 12 inch of Too Many Rappers in 2009.


"A lot of record companies look at the numbers and they'll be like, 'Your first record sold 5 million and your second record sold only 800,000. What happened? You guys fell off, I think the band all feels that the record did really well. Most musicians I grew up playing music with would probably shoot me if I ever complained about selling 800,000 records."
