It was recorded mostly at Battery Studios in Manhattan across 1990 and 1991 and produced by the group, primarily Q-Tip, with Ali Shaheed Muhammad co-producing and handling the scratching; Skeff Anselm co-produced \"Show Business\" and \"Everything Is Fair.\" Bob Power mixed the record and Tom Coyne mastered it. The jazz bassist Ron Carter plays on \"Verses from the Abstract,\" and Q-Tip's recreation of a Pete Rock beat on \"Jazz (We've Got)\" carries a credit to Rock in the song's outro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ-Tip and Phife Dawg share the microphone throughout, and the closing \"Scenario\" is a posse cut with Leaders of the New School, Busta Rhymes among them. \"Check the Rhime,\" \"Jazz (We've Got)\" and \"Scenario\" were released as singles; the video for \"Check the Rhime\" is above. The album peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard 200 and No. 13 on the Top R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums chart, was certified gold by the RIAA in February 1992 and platinum in February 1995, and was selected for the Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2022.
