The introduction of “Cellz” is a reading by Charles Bukowski from the poem “Dinosauria, We”. The recording is from the documentary "Born Into This", which is also takes its name from the poem.
About Charles Bukowski’s influence, DOOM told Passion of the Weiss,
"I’m totally inspired by that dude. Him as a writer blows me away. He has such a wide range. At the time, every writer was trying to be some sort of a renaissance writer from the ’60s and ’70s. They all had tricky angles and used weird words and stuff. There were a lot of hippie writers, but Bukowski had these short stories that didn’t care about what others did. He was born a writer so he wrote what he was thinking at the time. It didn’t have to be influenced by what others at the time were doing — which is in essence what we writers actually are.
If truly good writers weren’t being themselves, it wouldn’t be interesting. His writing style would always catch me off guard. I’d be reading and think I know where he’s going and he’ll just pull a left and spin everything up. Time after time, each story was so different in its own right. Even now, when I feel stuck and wanna relax, I’ll pick up Bukowski and read a short story. His stuff can be so weird it makes me feel normal. I can’t be weirder than this guy , which is cool because once you realize what the extremes are, you can do anything."
