Some of the band's most commercially successful songs include "Rakuen Baby" (2002) and "Nettaiya" (2007), summer-themed songs that have both been certified Platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
Rip Slyme collaborated with the rock band Quruli twice in 2006, when they released the singles "Lovi" and "Juice" simultaneously. The group have worked together with guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei twice: once in 2006 on the single "Battle Funkastic" that mashed-up Rip Slyme's "Funkastic" with Hotei's "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" (2000), and in 2011 when Rip Slyme recorded a cover of Hotei's song "Bambina" for his collaborations album All Time Super Guest.
