[edit] Trivia
- The song "The Don of Dons (Put De Ting Pon Dem)" by Super Cat was originally supposed to feature rapper Foxy Brown but Def Jam didn't clear her to be on the song. There is an unreleased Foxy Brown song called "The Original" that was leaked in 2003 that has the same Neptunes beat. These may have been the verses that were originally supposed to be for this song.
- Another song that did not make the cut on this album was called "Midnight Lady" by Super Cat. Only a snippet of this song has ever been leaked.
- For the song It Blow My Mind Chad Hugo explains in an interview about the different instruments throughout the song. He claims him an production partner Pharrell used the Korg Triton for the horns, Korg 1o/W for the drums, and a Minimoog Voyager for the weird melody at the outro of the song.
