According to B-Real, the song was actually a diss song aimed at Chubb Rock. The group felt Chubb had ridiculed their style on his 1992 album I Gotta Get Mine Yo. \n\nAccording to a live interview aired on Double J during a feature of the Black Sunday album, \"insane in the membrane\" was a localised gang term used at the time by the Crips when doing something crazy; it was then appropriated into this song.  A 2019 interview with The Guardian elaborated further that both Bloods and Crips used a similar phrase as an informal insanity plea upon arrest.  The Double-J interview also notes that B-Real was a member of the Bloods.\n  \nIt is claimed that DJ Muggs produced the song \"Jump Around\" by House of Pain, which was later used to produce this song, with minor changes.  https://bit.ly/30oxYnR","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
