The song was also featured in the 2011 documentary, Black Lifestyle in Japan, where she was praised for having a "stylish" look and recognized as one of the most frequently listened to hip-hop musicians in Japan.^[1]

Remy Ma also samples "Conceited (There's Something About Remy)" in her 2014 Song Called "Wassup Tho" produced by LV, and Sean C.^[2]

Background
