“I became fixated with this ‘hypnotic chronicle of the toil of a ghetto hustler’,” says Gibbons, “and I was determined to use it as the basis for something ZZ Top could record.” 14 years later, Gibbons, Hardy and Moon, inspired by DJ Screw’s ‘chopped and screwed’ technique for deconstructing hip-hop, worked out how to adapt 25 Lighters into a new song. “It’s a combination of hip-hop and the blues of Lightnin’ Hopkins, a homage to these heroes of the Houston ghetto.”

Billy told The Hollywood Reporter recently: “Since the very beginning, we have been inspired and influenced by the musical and cultural eccentricities that have emanated from Houston’s ghetto. If you look back, you’ll find [fellow ZZ Top members] Dusty [Hill] and Frank [Beard] had served as Lightnin’ Hopkins’ rhythm section before we all joined forces in ZZ. We often ask ourselves, ‘WWLD?’ – meaning ‘What Would Lightnin’ Do?’ That circumstance came from exactly the same place – both geographically and spiritually – that this new one does. We fully acknowledge this as we continue to pay tribute to those known as ‘the heroes of the Houston ghetto.’”

Funny how rock artists respect the genre, yet their stans are so rigidly against it.

These cats are from Houston and deep into black music like the blues....the specific song choice is kinda random but I can definitely see them being into local rap music.
