Added DiffLines:
* HardcoreHipHop: The album at it's core, with "Pause" & "Featuring Phat Kat" being the stand outs.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Sampling}}: Mostly averted, due to most of the tracks being original compositions and/or using live instruments.
* SequelSong: "Beej-N-Dem, Part 2" is a follow-up to the original "Beej-N-Dem" from Slum Village's debut album ''Fan-Tas-Tic, Vol. 1''.
* SpecialGuest: Several, all of which hail from Dilla's native Detroit:
** "Featuring Phat Kat" & "Beej-N-Dem, Part 2" [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin are pretty self-explanatory]].
** NeoSoul crooner Dwele assists Dilla on "Think Twice"
** Big Tone and Ta'Raach are featured on "It's Like That"
** Blu is featured on "The Clapper", with Kareem Riggins handling production duties for the track.
