As Ugly as They Wanna Be is notable for being the first EP to be certified multi-platinum by the RIAA.[1]
Two tracks "Madman" and "Everything About You" later appeared on the band's 1992 debut album America's Least Wanted with only little changes (new vocal track on "Madman" and spoken intro on "Everything About You"). "Everything About You" later became a hit single and was used in the movie Wayne's World, which was released the following year.
The track "Sweet Leaf" is a cover of British heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
