[edit] Miscellanea

  • 50 Cent, the album's executive producer, appears a total of 7 times, including a short uncredited speech on "Backstage Pass".
  • The 2 'bonus tracks' have appeared on other G-Unit releases. The "Outta Control Remix" was on the special edition re-release of 50 Cent's The Massacre and "Have a Party" which was on the Get Rich or Die Tryin' soundtrack.
  • The Source rated the album as 3 1/2 mics, equalling the status of 'Above Average.'
  • Since Mobb Deep's friendship with The Alchemist, this is the 1st album in which he has produced only one song ("The Infamous").
  • The album originally featured a song entitled "Nightmares," produced by Dr. Dre and Mike Elizondo, and featuring 50 Cent.
  • On "Pearly Gates," some of Prodigy's words are spun back so that the following verse is unintelligible: "If I go to heaven and you make it to the pearly gates, tell [that nigga God/the bossman] we got beef, and tell [nigga Jesus/his only son] I'm'a see him when I see him, and when I see him, [I'm'a beat him like the movie]." Later he says, "...we don't give a f*ck about that [religious bullsh*t]." There are two dirty versions of the verse.
