The last track, "I Gotta Say What Up!!!", contains a diss directed toward N.W.A in response to the group dissing Ice Cube on their 1990 EP 100 Miles and Runnin'.
Trouser Press praised "the lighthearted 'Jackin’ for Beats' (which bites EPMD, PE, Digital Underground, LL Cool J and others) and the devastating 'Dead Homiez', in which [Cube] solemnly contemplates the murder of a friend over an evocative mix of horn, guitar and piano."[9]
