"Soul by the Pound" is the third single from rapper Common's 1992 debut album, Can I Borrow a Dollar?. Its beat, produced by Immenslope, is similar to much production from Common's second album, Resurrection. Its beat contains samples from "I Like It" by DeBarge and "Sneakin' in the Back" by Tom Scott. It is considered to be a "black solidarity" track, but has been attacked for its misogyny. Its chorus contains a sample from Tim Dog's verse on "A Chorus Line" by Ultramagnetic MCs.

The chorus of "Thump Mix" contains vocal samples from Q-Tip's verse in "Jazz (We've Got)" by A Tribe Called Quest, Redman's in "Tonight's Da Night" and Grand Puba's in "Check It Out. " The "Thump Mix" can be found on the Guidance Recordings compilation album 2001: A Rhyme Odyssey.
