Musically, the songs vary from old school hip hop and doo-wop (e.g., "Mashed Potato Time", "Commotion In The Ocean") to rock and roll (e.g., "Baby Doll") and punk rock (e.g. "Poor Little Rich Girl", "The Crusher").[3] In an article for The Village Voice in 2014, Chaz Kangas wrote that the album "sound less like a rap record and more like a Ramones album that has rapping on it".[4]
