In the apartment, an angered Dee Loc (Snoop Dogg) yells at Sean (Dr. Dre), "I paid the cost to be the boss." "Paid Tha Cost To Be Tha Boss" is also the title of one of Snoop Dogg's album he recorded around 2001 to 2002.
The line, "What's the matter, you got knocked the f**k out?" is also said in the films Friday (1995) and Next Friday (2000), co-written by DJ Pooh and Ice Cube.
