Banks stated that he wanted to show the darker side of New York City and allow listeners to hear what it was like growing up in South Jamaica, Queens.

[3] Rolling Stone's Evan Serpick gave it 3 out of 5 stars and said that "Eminem, Mobb Deep's Havoc and a host of G-Unit regulars produce an album's worth of chunky, ominous beats to fit Banks' foul mood, but it runs a little thin over sixteen tracks.

"[12] But XXL gave it a L/XXL (the equivalent of three stars out of five) and said, "Not falling far from 50 Cent's platinum-rooted tree, Rotten Apple is fertilized with potent doses of sonic strength and catchy hooks.
