Background

The idea of the title song came from a pick-up line "call me Mr. Flintstone, I can make your bed rock."

Two years before the song was released, Lloyd was a team captain and a guest performer on Nick Cannon's MTV show Wild 'n Out. During a game, to attract a girl with a pick-up line, Lloyd used the "bedrock" line, winning a point for the Black Team.

Travis Porter originally used the beat "Adidas" for their mixtape " A Differente Me"

After being leaked in September 2009, it was finally released on November 14, 2009. It was originally titled "Girl You Know" and the chorus was sung by OmarionandLil Wayne's verse was differrent, but due to his departure from Young Money he was replaced by Lloyd. Drake interpolates "Are You That Somebody" by Aaliyah in his verse. The song was released to iTunes on November 24. Two weeks later, the video was released on December 7. Recently there was an extended remix which features all the original artists and Lil Chuckee who is after Gudda Gudda.
