The album also features a multitude of guest appearances from artists such as Redman, Left Eye, Mobb Deep, D'Angelo and various Wu-Tang Clan members and affiliates such as Streetlife, who appears on seven of the album's twenty-eight tracks.
The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, and number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, while selling 411,000 copies in its first week. On December 16, 1998, Tical 2000: Judgement Day was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
