Poo Bear told Consequence in 2022 about Fiasco:
Lupe is a mad scientist, genius, songwriter, great performer, and a great lyricist. One of the greatest rappers and lyricists for me of all time. I'm still learning new double and triple entendres—if I listen to his music now, I'll be like, 'Oh shit, that's what he meant.' That concept came from him, and I was just able to embellish on it, put the melody and sing on it and really just add to it.
Boyd added that when they were in Los Angeles, they worked on four songs that ended up on Fiasco's 2012 album, Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1. He continued, "At that time, Lupe just had a batch of beats, and we were just going through music. ["Bitch Bad"] came on, and I was like, 'Yo, this is really amazing.' That was an Audibles record if I'm not mistaken, and it was just inspiring. If you listen to that beat, it doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard before, which to me is always inspiring when I could write over something that I've never heard sonically." Concerning Fiasco's artistry and work ethic, he stated how they were similar in putting out records. "He turns it on, he's freestyling, he's coming up with four bars at a time on the spot. I'm coming up with my lines and my melodies on the spot in real-time. I don't write anything down, he doesn't write anything down. We're just on a microphone, letting our emotions flow, letting melodies flow and cadences flow. It was really a magical day because anytime I go in the studio and I'm making four to five records, and all of them come out and they all turn into copyrights that generate revenue. I consider that as being like a really special day and a magical day, I felt like they were great songs that were complete thoughts, complete ideas, and I think those records will live on forever."Fu, Eddie (November 17, 2022).
