Production

"Intro" contains samples of "Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys)". In it, the group mentions that the album contains many beats from other songs popular of the era. The song "Set It Off" contains a diss to N.W.A after the departure of Ice Cube, comparing them to Barry Manilow.

The entire album was recorded on a karaoke machine bought for Violent J by his then-girlfriend.[2]

Release

Bass-ment Cuts was sold first hand by Inner City Posse, their friend Rudy Hill and his cousins, and Bruce's then-girlfriend Karen.[2] Due to the success Rudy had selling the cassettes in Southwest side of Detroit, where the group had its most sales, Inner City Posse decided to call their label Rude Time Records.[2] The group soon reached out to record store owner Alex Abbiss to sell their cassettes in his store Hot Hits. After the success of their sales on the street and with Alex, the group decided to pursue rapping as their professional career, teaming with Alex to create the record company Psychopathic Records.[2]

In 2001, the album was re-released on CD at the Gathering of the Juggalos 2001, and is currently available for purchase on Psychopathic's official web-store, Hatchetgear.

gollark: They can't run it because protocols will have changed.
gollark: Even if it has WiFi and it's compatible, the software will be horribly outdated.
gollark: Imagine trying to connect a computer from 2000 to a modern network. It probably won't work.
gollark: For one thing, they tend to randomly break. For another, the software and hardware will be horribly outdated.
gollark: Anyway, see, your future computer will probably *not* actually work when it's the future.
