Notes
- The Gang Starr song the episode is named after is "Just to Get a Rep", from their album Step in the Arena. Both the song and the episode paint a similar picture of crime on the streets, with Cottonmouth ordering his henchmen to bully the people of Harlem in order to get to Luke Cage. The title of the song could also be connected to how Cottonmouth and Shades dislike how Luke's reputation is growing around Harlem.
- The songs featured in the episode are:
- "Long Live the Chief" by Jidenna
- The Avener's remix of John Lee Hooker's "It Serves You Right to Suffer"
- "It's Everything About You" by Lee Williams and the Cymbals
- "Trouble Of The World" by Mahalia Jackson
