DJ Premier originally made the track for Canibus but later offered it to D'angelo after Canibus rejected the song.
The remix of "Gone till November" features R. Kelly and Canibus, with backing vocals by Khadejia Bass, and contains interpolations of the songs "Michelle" by The Beatles, and "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club.
Another cover version, "Shove This Jay-Oh-Bee", performed by Canibus with Biz Markie, appears in the film Office Space.

For Whom the Beat Tolls (a play on the Ernest Hemingway novel 'For Whom the Bell Tolls', which itself is drawn from "Meditation XVII" of Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, a series of essays by metaphysical poet John Donne) is the eighth studio album by rapper Canibus, released through Mic Club Music on May 29, 2007 in the United States and June 5 worldwide.
On the track "Air Strike (Pop Killer)", both Canibus and DZK diss Eminem and D12, the track is considered as bait to reel Eminem into giving a response, and the track samples an interview from 2002 that Eminem had with Tim Westwood.
The original version of the song was produced by Mr. Sex and Charles Suitt, the song's official remix was produced by L.T. Hutton and featured Tha Dogg Pound and a then unknown Canibus in one of his first official appearances.
