Production
The album was produced by Kurtis Blow.[4] It contains a few guest appearances. Bob Dylan raps on "Street Rock". He performed his lines in one take, at his Malibu home.[5] Robert Reed, of Trouble Funk, appears on "I'm Chillin", which was released as a single.[6] George Clinton appears on "Magilla Gorilla".[7]
Critical reception
Opining that Blow "is nothing if not open-minded and adventurous," Trouser Press wrote that "the eight long cuts, some more compelling than others, throw in just about everything (TV bites, Donald Duck, party sounds, Emulator gimmickry, etc.)."[12] The Philadelphia Inquirer thought that "the one stand-out song is already looking like a left-field pop hit: 'I'm Chillin' ', which combines a clever rap with the funky go-go music of the Washington band Trouble Funk."[10]
