Background

The song was originally going to contain a sample from Double 99's "RipGroove", however due to clearance issues, the sample was removed to prevent delays in the release of the album. When the sample was cleared for use, "Mic Check" was announced as a single. There are three versions of the song; the album version, the radio edit, which is exactly the same as the album version but with the sample reinstated, and a remix which contains the sample and is a heavier, dancier version of the song.

gollark: I guess you could have... self-runnable python packages too?```bash#!/bin/shpython3 $0exit```
gollark: Shellscripts execute line-by-line, so if you stick a ZIP on the end and do something like```bash#!/bin/shunzip $0exit```then the shell won't complain about the random binary data at the end of the script.
gollark: I'm not sure if this has much of an actual application, but it's neat. You can do similar stuff with zips to make self-extracting archives.
