It is quite short with four interludes making up the 13 tracks. It is known for the song "Ova Here" which disses Nelly, as KRS-One was under the impression Nelly dissed him on the track "#1" from his album Nellyville and the Training Day soundtrack.

A proper but very limited version of the street album was released in Europe under the title Prophets vs. Profits. That version features lesser skits and has a few additional tracks although a pair of tracks on The Mix Tape is missing from Prophets vs. Profits.
