The compilation's new songs were "The Unseen", which was subject to discussion due to lyrics expressing anti-abortion views,[3][4] and "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta", which later appeared in the 1999 film Office Space.[5]
Content
The compilation contained tracks from their first four albums: Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), The Geto Boys (1990) and We Can't Be Stopped (1991), although their first album, Making Trouble (1988), is only represented by the DJ recording, "Balls and My Word" (renamed to "And My Word" in the album's liner notes). Uncut Dope also contained two previously unreleased songs: "The Unseen" (which is the first Geto Boys song with Big Mike) and "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta". "Action Speaks Louder Than Words" originally appeared on Ganksta N-I-P's The South Park Psycho in 1992.
