The easily and casually dropped notes of violence, hilarious crude humor, and incredible wordplay on the album help inspire me every day to do better in my own wording for my songs. I aspire to be as a better lyricist than the day before every day. The overdubbed and chopped Kung Fu movie samples and play-style skits on the album give the entire production a very theatrical feel, and is one of the best executed examples of such a connection between music and actor, artists both. All art is in and of itself interconnected.

In January 2016, Shkreli told Vice that he had considered destroying the record or "installing it in some remote place so that people have to make a spiritual quest to listen". [19] He promised to release the album free if Donald Trump won the 2016 US presidential election. In November, after Trump was elected, Shkreli streamed excerpts of the album online. [20]
