This album is considered by many to be his most influential album, as well as containing guest appearances from major artists such as E-40, 2Pac, Method Man and 187 Fac.
Along with singles, music videos were released for two songs: "Strap on the Side" (featuring a cameo appearance by 2Pac), and "Face of a Desperate Man" (featuring a cameo appearance by G-Nut).
The original version of "Nigga Sings the Blues", was heard in the film, Jason's Lyric, and was also released on the film's soundtrack.
Allmusic - "...AmeriKKKa's Nightmare appealed to hip-hoppers who had been savoring Dr. Dre's The Chronic in 1994...the CD manages to hold attention thanks to Spice's appealing flow (his rhyming skills are solid, to be sure) and the very Dre-ish produced tracks..."
