* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: "Ham And Eggs" is a song about the group refusing to eat ham and eggs, because of their high cholesterol content. When the song was written/released in 1990, many people thought cholesterol consumption was responsible for things like heart disease. Which has, since, been proven (mostly) false.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The beat that eventually became the basis of ''The Love Movement"'s title track was originally meant for Music/TheNotoriousBIG's album ''Music/LifeAfterDeath''. Biggie liked it, but the album was already finished when Q-Tip showed it to him, and Biggie was murdered before he got the chance to use it.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The notorious origins of "Show Business" from ''Music/TheLowEndTheory''. In short, there is an unofficially released early version of the track called "Georgie Porgie" with the same beat but vastly different lyrics. "Georgie Porgie" is about a fictional friend of the group who they lost all respect for after finding out he was gay. The label refused to put out such a blatantly homophobic song, so after completely rewriting the lyrics, "Show Business" was born.

The band is now [[OldShame very ashamed]] of "Georgie Porgie", and some of their later songs like "We the People..." mock homophobia.
