The album was mentioned by FUBU CEO Daymond John on an episode of ABC's Shark Tank. John said he was in the hole for $6 million on the album but the hit single "Fatty Girl" ended up earning $100 million through clothing.[1]

The song is also notable for being the first recorded use of the word "badonkadonk", coined by Keith Murray.
