Rumors circulated that the song was meant to attack rapper Lil' Romeo, with the line, "18 nigga, making more than your Dad." The line in question is actually borrowed from LL Cool J's song, "The Do Wop" on the classic album Bigger and Deffer. Bow Wow later confirmed that the line was not aimed at Miller's father, Master P or Miller himself. Because of that, Romeo dedicated the song of God's Gift entitled "U Can't Shine Like Me" with the line "You a Mama's boy I'm a son of a hustler".

While his previous album Bigger and Deffer (1987) was produced by The L.A. Posse, Dwayne Simon was the only member left of the group willing to work on Walking with a Panther, as other members, such as Bobby "Bobcat" Erving, wanted a higher pay after realizing how much of a success the previous album had become. Def Jam, however, refused to change the contract, which caused the L.A. Posse to leave. Walking with a Panther was primarily produced by LL Cool J and Dwayne Simon, with additional production from Rick Rubin and Public Enemy's production team, The Bomb Squad.
