Data Insight

All fourteen songs credit both members; the four blanks are the intro and three skits. Bringing in Wyclef Jean and Jerry Duplessis changes the credit lines rather than the authorship, and the Hall & Oates sample on "Dangerous" pulls Daryl Hall, John Oates and Sara Allen onto a Ying Yang Twins song, which is not a sentence the earlier albums could produce.

Chemically Imbalanced is the Ying Yang Twins' fifth album, released in November 2006 on TVT. Wyclef Jean and Jerry Duplessis produced alongside Mr. Collipark, a first for the duo. It debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200 and its lead single "Dangerous", built on a Hall & Oates sample, reached number 85.

Frequently Asked Questions Chemically Imbalanced

Did they write Chemically Imbalanced?
Both members are credited on all fourteen songs. The remaining four tracks are the intro and three skits, none of which carries a writer.
Who wrote "Dangerous"?
Kaine and D-Roc with Wyclef Jean and Jerry Duplessis, plus Daryl Hall, John Oates and Sara Allen for the Hall & Oates song it samples.
Who produced the album?
Mr. Collipark, Wyclef Jean, Jerry Duplessis, Brian "B" Tealer and Jonathan "John Boy" Wright.
How did it chart?
It debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200, a steep fall from the number two placing of the album before it.
How many tracks are on it?
Eighteen, of which four are the intro and skits.
Why did Wyclef Jean get involved?
He and Jerry Duplessis came in as executive producers alongside Mr. Collipark, and the album leans on their sample-driven approach rather than the crunk template of the previous records.
Data note: The intro and the three skits, "Patron", "Smoke Break" and "One Mo for the Road", carry no writing credit. The TVT CD lists nothing against any of the four, and none of the four Genius pages names a writer. All four are spoken pieces with nothing to credit, so each carries a track-level writer skip.
