Originally released on April 14, 2010, the mixtape's cover art was for Wiz to pay homage to David Ruffin's album Gentleman Ruffin (1980).
On the song "The Kid Frankie", Khalifa raps over Loose Ends' No. 1 hit single, "Hangin' on a String", and the song "Never Been" samples "Schala's Theme" from the soundtrack to the critically-acclaimed RPG, Chrono Trigger, with its soundtrack composed by Yasunori Mitsuda.
There is a plethora of samples present on the record, including "Up", which samples Tevin Campbell's "Could It Be", "In the Cut", which samples "Let Go" by Frou Frou from the end credits of the film Garden State, "Visions", which contains a sample from "Huit Octobre 1971" by Cortex, and "Spotlight", which sampled "Theme from the Planets" by Dexter Wansel, from his album "Life on Mars" (1976).
This seminal mixtape is one for any fan of Wiz Khalifa, hip hop and even plunderphonics.
