On “Skypager,” the duo comments on the cultural importance of skypagers in the early ‘90’s, with a broader message about consumerism in general. Having a bigger role on The Low End Theory, Phife Dawg delivers some of his strongest verses from the album on the song.

The jazz-influenced beat samples Ron Carter’s bass playing from Eric Dolphy’s “17 West,” the second appearance the iconic jazz basssist appears on the album, aside from his live recording on “Verses From The Abstract.”.

“Skypager” was featured on the B-side on the “Check the Rhime” single release.
