It was included at the end of the album on some later pressings (on which "Ass On Your Shoulders" was removed due to playing time restrictions).

Acqua Fragile plagiarism accusation

In 2018, Bernardo Lanzetti and his band Acqua Fragile alleged that the song "Genesis" used an uncredited sample of Acqua Fragile's 1974 song "Cosmic Mind Affair".[17] After negotiations with Busta Rhymes' publishers broke down, Lanzetti and Acqua Fragile opted to advance a lawsuit over the issue.[18]
