| This album features some samples that were not cleared for national distribution; therefore, this album was only released in the [[Detroit]] area and the mid-west and in limited copies. In 1998, the group released ''[[Forgotten Freshness Volumes 1 & 2]]''. "Ghetto Zone", "Life At Risk", and "Ask You Somethin" were not featured on the re-release, with "Ask You Somethin" not appearing on any other release until the 2020 reissue of the Dog Beats EP. The edits of "Southwest Strangla" and "3 Rings" are also exclusive to this compilation, the former featuring an intro that would later become part of "12" from the [[Riddle Box]] album and the latter featuring an answering machine message. It is the group's first installment in the "Forgotten Freshness album series", their 1st compilation album, and their 6th overall release.

| ==Music and lyrics==
| |
| The song "Southwest Strangla" was planned to be released on [[Shaggy 2 Dope]]'s second solo album ''Shaggs The Clown'', but the entire project was scrapped.<ref name="ForgottenFreshness1&2">Insane Clown Posse (1998). ''Forgotten Freshness Volumes 1 & 2''. Liner notes. [[Psychopathic Records]]/[[Island Records]]/[[PolyGram Records]].</ref> In the beginning of the song, a news brief is played about the actual looting of [[Northwest Airlines Flight 255]] which crashed on [[I-94]] in Detroit in 1987. With a change in beat and lyrics, the song "Hey, Vato" became "Wagon Wagon" found on the ''[[Ringmaster (album)|Ringmaster]]'' album.<ref name="ForgottenFreshness1&2"/> Some lyrics from the song are also found on the song "Who Asked You", also on the Ringmaster.
