* ValuesResonance: "April 26, 1992", a song about white people taking advantage of the LA Riots to engage in looting, makes a whole lot more sense after the looting and grifting connected to the riots rooted in [[TheNewTwenties 2020 and beyond]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: Robbin’ the Hood. While 40oz. to Freedom is known to be something of a party album and their self-titled is more polished and contains their most famous singles, Robbin’ the Hood is a raw, loose collection of mostly lo-fi jams, dubs and skits, all recorded in a crack den, that feels more like a mixtape than an actual album. The weird feel all throughout the album gives a real insight into Brad’s mental and physical state at the time, in particular his severe struggle with heroin addiction, no song more than Pool Shark which features the now hauntingly prophetic line: “one day I’m gonna lose the war”.

* PosthumousPopularityPotential: The SelfTitledAlbum, released without a lead single two months ''after'' Nowell died, is by far their most commercially successful one and contains most of the songs that get played on alternative rock radio. The album was already going to be their major-label debut, but Nowell's premature death added a somewhat mythical quality to the band.
