The album's credits featured a number of mistakes. For example, the titles of the album's final two tracks were switched, and the names of Bizarre and DJ Quik are misspelled as 'Bizzar' and 'DJ Quick', which, as AllMusic's David Jeffries wrote, "[Ruins] the Blood member's lifelong avoidance of anything that could be short for 'Crip Killer.' [...] It's a metaphor for how well Twiztid blend with their true hip-hop brothers and how much better off they are going for local juggalos like their mentors ICP plus Blaze Ya Dead Homie and their neighbors from the north, the Dayton Family".

The album is also notable for the appearances of D12 members Proof and Bizarre. One of the group's members, Eminem, had feuded with ICP. The track "How I Live" was the final song recorded by Proof before his death in April 2006.
