Production for "One Mic" was handled by Nas and hip hop producer Chucky Thompson. The song samples English musician Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight" (1981). On selecting the sample for "One Mic", Nas stated "I'm a huge fan of Phil Collins and I just wanted to take the vibe from 'In the Air Tonight'." Steve Juon of RapReviews wrote that the song features a production technique previously implemented by such hip hop artists as Outkast and The Roots, which he described as "a quiet groove that steadily increases in energy and intensity until an increasingly amped Nas lets his lyrical rage boil over like a Final Fantasy fighter smacked ONCE too often." According to Nick Butler, the song's structure "slowly builds up from a simple 'In the Air Tonight' sample toward the full production ... like hearing two mini hip-hop versions of 'Stairway to Heaven', before Nas flips the script for the third verse and does the same thing in reverse."

According to Juon, the final verse has a reversal of this formula, in which Nas "goes from amped up to soft-spoken, drawing you even closer into his rap." "One Mic" begins with a slow, deliberate flow and beat. Music critic Brett Berliner wrote "'One Mic' starts out with a slow beat reminiscent of a crappy R&B song. Throughout the song, Nas' lazy flow turns into an angry rant over a fast paced beat, and finally a siren."

This PDAWG remix is a complete remake of the song to bring an even higher level of emotion using live instruments.

This is a tape that was produced by Relentless DJs over the span of four months and thirty six recording sessions. This project was created for educational purposes to honor the legacy of the late Notorious BIG. We chose to mash up Notorious BIG acapella's over beats from Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, DJ Premiere, and Mike Will Made It and more. This is an effort to honor his memory through remixing his music over a multitude of sounds. Even though Christopher Wallace has been gone for twenty years his music lives on.

PDAWG's Underground Mix Tapes and CD's were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000's in the US, Canada and United Kingdom.

As featured on Wayneandwax.com: "I finally had a chance to go through my Hindi remix CDs after a week in New York City. Six years ago (2002) 74th St. in Jackson Heights, Queens was stuffed with Indian (Hindi & Punjabi) music shops on both sides of the street, and on all cross streets, but now there are only two music shops left on the main strip. The downloaders have won, the community music shop is fading away.  Pdawg presents ”Mango Mix The Album” has a track called “Addictive Indian Mix” which uses the “Addictive” break, Lata’s vocals, and Rakim’s original rap. It mixes in a new flute part and the “koo koo koo” vocals from Choli Ke Peeche." Posted by The Incredible Kid Radio DJ from Portland, Oregon.
