Barker had earlier announced that the album would be slated for a September 14, 2010 release, but was later pushed back, with the album being released on March 15, 2011.

The album debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200 [ 7]
Background The album title itself is a reference to a track by the Ultramagnetic MC's of the same name, which in turn derives from James Brown's "Funky Drummer ." The album cover was created by Pushead . It was first announced by Barker himself that the album would be of "no one genre," indicating that the album wouldn't be based on hip hop or punk rock , unlike his previous remixes and collaborations. However, most of the tracks are hip hop and R&B influenced, though for instance "Misfits" has a techno and dance sound and "On My Own" has a metal groove to it. Guests that collaborated and are featured are: Slaughterhouse , [ 8] The Cool Kids , RZA , Ludacris , Lil Wayne , Rick Ross , Game , Raekwon , Tom Morello , Slash , Steve Aoki , Busta Rhymes , Lil Jon , Pharrell , [ 9] Tech N9ne , [ 9] Cypress Hill , Twista , Jay Rock , Kobe , Paul Wall , Clipse , Kid Cudi , Yelawolf , Snoop Dogg , Lupe Fiasco , [ 10] Swizz Beatz , and Bun B . Barker confirmed in an interview that there will not be any collaborations with Mark Hoppus and Tom Delonge from Blink-182 as he thought it would be wrong to have the first new Blink-182 song on his album, and that the song will be released separately as a single before the album is released in June–July 2011. The track listing was revealed on February 25, 2011. [ 11] [ 12]
