As varied as Ice Cube and Notorious B. The album featured hotshot producer Timberland, in addition to the usual team of Ski and DJ Premier. Also, he was nominated for three Grammies. A third hit, “Aint No N****” found its way onto The Nutty Professor soundtrack. It yielded two hits, “Cant Knock the Hustle” and “Feelin it”.
