* "Mick's Tape" is an intentional misspelling of "[[Mixtape|mixtape]]", an informally released hiphop album consisting of one or more MCs' work, usually for promotional purposes.
* "Itchy toes" refers to [[Athlete's Foot|Athlete's foot]], a fungal disease Coach Z implied he had in [[labor day]].
* [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] breaks, which involve soulfully sung lyrics rather than rap, are featured in many modern hip hop songs.
* Topical means applied externally on the body. Most ointments have labels reading "for external use only".

* This is the first complete Powered By The Cheat toon since [[New Boots]] in April of 2004. Counting Powered by The Cheat as its own category, as it was at the time, this closes what was then the biggest gap ever in between a type of toon; it has since been surpassed by the over-five-year gap between [[Crystal Fortress]] and [[Fish Eye Lens]], also Powered by The Cheat, which has itself been surpassed several times.
* The [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]] reads "Loadry".
* [[The Brothers Chaps]] mentioned making a rap duet with Coach Z and Peacey P in an [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007|interview on the Late Nite JengaJam]].
* The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "The Cheat makes a video for Coach Z's Rap Song accidentally featuring Peacey P."

* Coach Z's mop bucket has "JAN8OR" written on it, another example of [[Internet Slang]].
