It was heavily influenced by the apocalypse theories surrounding the forthcoming end of the millennium (2000). It was a commercial hit reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Tical 2000: Judgement Day was certified platinum by the RIAA on December 16, 1998.[1] This commercial success was jolted by its two singles, "Break Ups 2 Make Ups" and "Judgement Day", as well as Method Man's successful debut album and Wu Tang albums. It was only a moderate critical success however, which may be attributed to its size (28 tracks) and lack of listenable material (10 interludes including the intro).

Although Tical 2000 has several producers, the bulk of the production is handled by Wu-Tang Clan affiliate True Master, and, as a result, the album differs significantly from the RZA produced Tical. RZA does produce multiple tracks on the second album, but not enough to take full credit for all of its beats. He is also a guest performer on the album along with several Wu-Tang affiliates and members such as Streetlife, R&B artist Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, comedian Chris Rock, and even Janet Jackson and Donald Trump.
