Trivia

*The song "The Don of Dons (Put De Ting Pon Dem)" by Super Cat was originally supposed to feature rapper Foxy Brown but Def Jam didn't clear her to be on the song. There is an unreleased Foxy Brown song called "The Original" that was leaked in 2003 that has the same Neptunes beat. These may have been the verses that were originally supposed to be for this song.

*Other songs that did not make the cut on this album were "Midnight Lady" by Super Cat and "Sweet Lies" by Usher. Only a small part of "Midnight Lady" has ever been leaked.

*For the song "It Blow My Mind" Chad Hugo explains in an interview about the different instruments throughout the song. He claims that production partner Pharrell Williams used the Korg Triton for the horns, Korg for the drums, and a Minimoog Voyager for the melody at the outro of the song.

*The beat for the song "It Wasn't Us" was originally used for a song called "Where's Yours At?" by Pharrell featuring French rapper Rohff that appeared on the soundtrack to the French film "Taxi 3"

*The song "Popular Thug" originally appeared on Kelis's second album, "Wanderland", but featured rapper Pusha T, one half of the rap duo Clipse.
