The song features funk samples from the J.B.'s and Stevie Wonder as well as rock samples of The Who's " Eminence Front", and the foundation sample was from Peter Gabriel's #1 hit, " Sledgehammer".
The song's message was similar to "Gas Face", voicing criticism towards the many mainstream commercial rap artists that had been gaining attention in the early 1990s (such as Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer). The song helped the album reach gold status a month later.
Released a year after the ill-fated Cactus Revisited E.P., "Pop Goes the Weasel" instantly became a hit and soon went gold. " Pop Goes the Weasel" is the best-selling single from hip hop trio 3rd Bass it appears on their second album, Derelicts of Dialect ( 1991).
