The album cover featured drawings of a b-boy set against a yellow background. The speech bubbles used proxies for swear words, such as "sheet" and "flucking".

The latter was sampled in E-40's song "Stilettos & Jeans" featuring Bobby V, taken from his 2010 album Revenue Retrievin': Night Shift.

The album is considered to be the predecessor of gangster rap and a major influence on the first albums of Ice-T and Public Enemy as well as an influence and sample source for The Beastie Boys and countless others.[2][3][4]
