One single found success on the charts, "It's Your Thing", which featured Master P, made it to #96 on the Billboard Hot 100, #31 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and #4 on the Hot Rap Singles.

"Do You Wanna Ride" was only included on the first edition press of the album and was later taken off due to copyright infringement for the sample(s) not being cleared properly and/or used without permission. A second edition or re-release / re-pressing also exists with that track not appearing on the album the second time around. Future pressings of the album contained 22 tracks unlike the original, first pressing that contains 23 tracks. The samples that were not cleared on the song are as follows: "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6 & "Mercedes Boy" by Pebbles.
