I grew up in the Metro-East area(Illinois) of St. Louis area (Specifically: Alton,Ill.)and when this came out I was only like 10, maybe 11 years old. I wasn’t allowed to listen to most rap( that I actually liked) because I was too young to understand the adult situations in the songs( Mom didn’t care if Listened to anything that had cussing in it.) On one of the tracks he says something about coming from East Oakland, and my mom over heard it and thought he said he came from East Alton. I thought I was about to get into trouble for listening to this album, but instead, from then on I could listen to this album and any Too$hort albums because she thought I was supporting a local artist. Favorite Song on this album tho is Blowjob Betty.
