Contents

Background

Rule 3:36 contains the song titled "F**k You", which is titled "Furious" as a clean version for radio play. The song received average airplay, and is also on the soundtrack to The Fast and the Furious (where it is titled "Furious") and has featured its trailers from the first three film series, with using the word "too fast, too furious". It is considered one of the album's highlights despite its non-radio and offensive tone. The disc is still mostly radio-friendly pop-themed music unlike his other albums, which contain disses of a more dark tone. The album still contains explicit material, and was made in a clean version which only removes profanity and drug/violent lyrics are left in, although some profanity like the words "hoes" and "ass" are also left in.

Reception

Rule 3:36 has sold 276,000 during its first week. Initial critical response to Rule 3:36 was average. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 56, based on 5 reviews. The album has become a certified three-time platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
