To follow up his 1992 EP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick, Eazy-E had planned a double album named Temporary Insanity.

On this EP, shots at Dre are absent from only three tracks: "Gimmie That Nutt", "Any Last Werdz", and "Boyz-N-Tha-Hood (G-Mix)".

[b] To date, this is Eazy's most successful release, selling 110,600 copies in its first week.

[8] In 1994, it was certified double-platinum by the RIAA, with over 2 million copies sold in America.

It remains one of 2 gangsta rap EPs to go multi-platinum, alongside Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's Creepin on ah Come Up, which Eazy-E also appeared on.
