Influenceedit
The album became one of the most influential albums in Southern hip hop, especially the Houston hip hop scene. Prior to his murder in 1996, West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur listened to the album after being introduced to the group by Houston rapper Scarface. Shakur would go on to praise the album.[5]
