The story goes that the mumbling was a placeholder for a hook that he hadn't written yet. They let either Lyor Cohen or Rick Rubin listen to it and tried to explain that it wasn't finished and after they listened to it they were like "No, the hook is perfect the way it is, it's perfect for what you're trying to say in the song" so they left it as-is.
