Background
In the song "P.A.N.", Cash criticizes bubblegum rap. Also, Cash insinuates that his label Ghet-O-Vision Entertainment and Sony Urban Music before the album's release showed that "it doesn't know what to do with him". This can be proven since his two hits "Sex Appeal (Pimp in My Own Mind)" and "Bumpin' My Music" which were released a year apart. The song, "Bumpin' My Music" and album both reflect a hardcore image of hip-hop. On his debut album, he calls out a number of his inspirations in the album.
