In March 2013, during an interview with HipHopDX, Rich Boy explained the meaning behind the album's title, saying: "I really just got that title from my partner. We were in New York and constantly recording and going back and forth to the studio. He used to joke that we’re about to go break the pot, so I just stuck with it ‘cause it really fit the situation of what I was trying to do musically."[7]
