- Frank Zappa's first album Freak Out! and the late J Dilla, are featured with the speech bubble containing the words 'Freak Out!' in the lower right corner of the album cover (this also appeared on the Freak Out! album cover).

- Lastly, the cover art makes several references to the 1973 movie, Fantastic Planet, which is also Madlib's source of inspiration for Quasimoto's appearance.
