Built off of guttural deliveries and hard-hitting production, “SPACEGHOSTPUSSY (RIP YAMS)” is Denzel Curry’s iconic first diss track towards former friend and Raider Klan mentor SpaceGhostPurrp. The song was written in reaction to SpaceGhostPurrp’s infamous series of disrespectful tweets about A$AP Yams’s death from drug overdose on January 18, 2015. According to Curry, he originally wouldn’t want to react to the offensive comments Purrp made towards him since his departure from Raider Klan in 2013, but had to retaliate following Purrp’s comments on Yams' death.

The song features four of Curry’s “ULT House”’s then-residents, XXXTENTACION, Ski Mask the Slump God, Lofty305 and Ronny J. Denzel explained in a January 2018 interview with Montreality that the song was written after a soccer game on the first day that he actually got to know X and Ski.

Two days later, Curry and XXX released the follow-up to “SPACEGHOSTPUSSY (RIP YAMS),” “Purrposely”. SpaceGhostPurrp would retaliate on the same day with “TRAINING DAY END OF DENZEL CURRY” before Denzel proclaimed in a tweet that he had “won” and that he wouldn’t release any more diss songs towards Purrp. X released his third diss to Purrp, “#ImSippinTeainYoHood,” a month later.
