So, the line is, ‘Nobody wins when the family feuds.’” Like, new rappers fighting with old rappers, saying all these things. “‘Family Feud’ is about separation within the culture. Samples : Hannah Williams and the Affirmations’ “Late Nights and Heart Breaks” It’s the title track because it’s such a powerful song, and I just believe one of the best songs I’ve ever written.” So it became the title of the album and everything.
