Reception[]
Flop Fo No Hoe received widespread critical acclaim. The album was given a 10/10 by popular music journalist and critic Marsel.
Controversy[]
The track "Bingus Diss" caused the album to be banned in Bingustan due to its lyrics containing a negative view of the country's leader, Bingus. The hidden track "Nation" is Floppa giving a thirty-minute speech criticizing the actions of the Bingustani government. Conspiracy theories have surfaced stating that the track includes a premonition of Floppa's death in the lyric "None fo' Bingus, sixteen shots".
Justin asked Daft Flop if he could sample their work for the song "Emotion". The band initially agreed, but after hearing the result they thought it was stupid and threatened to sue. This lead to the track being hidden.
