Harold Melvin and Teddy Pendergrass's Philly soul call to action was sampled for 'Wake Up Mr. West' and thematically woven through Late Registration. The lush MFSB orchestration and socially conscious lyrics aligned perfectly with the album's ambitious blend of hip-hop and classical arrangements produced alongside Jon Brion.
