Yes this album is real.
- The album was recorded and produced between late 2007 to early 2008. Viper made all the beats himself using only a Yamaha Motif keyboard and a Roland beat machine. According to Viper himself, the album's upfront lyricism allowed him to express address controversial issues with society, such as his crack use and dealership at the time, violence, and his past gang membership with 5-9 Piru, a sub-group of the Bloods.

The album's cover has become a popular reaction image and internet meme, along with many of Viper's other album covers, with people commonly making their own covers using the rapper's face. The cover itself is a cropped and poorly scanned image of Viper's face sourced from the cover of his 2006 album The Southwest Hooligan.
-
It is the most well known of all of his albums, gathering a strong cult following since its release. Viper himself has been quoted as saying it is his favorite album he has made.
Remember, don't be a coward; so go smoke up a 20 rock, or snort yourself a line of white lightening in the McDonald's handicap stall.
