It was certified Gold by Recording Industry Association of America. The album improved on the charts from the previous album, making in to number 68 on the Billboard 200 and number 20 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. It contains the singles "Move Somethin'" and "Do Wah Diddy Diddy". The album incorporates samples from such diverse sources as James Brown, Manfred Mann, The Kinks, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Kraftwerk, and Quadrant Six. On the song "Word II", 2 Live Crew's DJ Mr. Mixx scratches up Brian May's guitar solo on "We Will Rock You" over the crowd stomp-and-clap beat, which was sampled from the same song. Its wide musical range is nonetheless all encompassed by the Miami bass sound, in its heavy Roland TR-808 kicks and fast percussion, and stamped with lyrics reflecting the group's sexually explicit humor.
