Take It or Squeeze It is a 2001 album by hip hop duo The Beatnuts. It was the first Beatnuts album released after Loud Records finished their merger with Relativity Records. It was critically well-received, but lacked commercial success. Reviews by Rolling Stone and Allmusic noted its enjoyable production,^[4]^[5] yet Take It or Squeeze It only reached #51 on the Billboard 200. It had sold 152,000 copies in the United States as of November, 2001.^[6] The album was released in conjunction with two singles, "Let's Git Doe" and the more popular "No Escapin' This". Although entirely produced by The Beatnuts, the album features guest appearances on all but three tracks. Featured artists include Fatman Scoop, Method Man and former Beatnuts member Al' Tariq. The album is now out of print.
