Following "Rip the Jacker" and Canibus' subsequent discharge from the army, an album entitled "Mind Control" (2005) was released to negative reviews. Canibus had never planned for it to be compiled as a separate record, but agreed to release it through the independent Gladiator Music label as part of a contractual agreement; most of the vocals for "Mind Control" had been recorded prior to the release of "C True Hollywood Stories". A collection of previously recorded material (with only three of the songs being unreleased) produced entirely by Mark Sparks, the album failed to chart and is rarely considered an official Canibus release by the rapper's fans.
