Critically acclaimed as an absolute classic of the alternative hip-hop genre, it's been name-checked by Kanye West as his favorite album of all time and aptly described by NME as "...a cartoon-strip of blunt-smoking antics, sexual innuendo and unashamed political incorrectness, crammed with infectious funky beats."

A true West Coast original that sprang up amidst the early-1990s gangster rap landscape like LA's answer to De La Soul's D.A.I.S.Y.-Age mentality in its freeform creativity.

The cover shot of a Fat Albert-ized Pharcyde roller coastering their way into a funhouse makes perfect sense, as the L.A.-based quartet introduced listeners to an uproarious vision of earthy hip-hop informed by P-Funk silliness and an everybody-on-the-mike street-corner atmosphere that highlights the incredible rapping skills of each member....The production, by J-Sw!ft and the group, is easily some of the tightest and most inventive of any hip-hop record of the era.
