In addition to Master P, the album features appearances from Monique Chandler, Shaniqua Williams, Toya, Freeway, DMX, and fellow Diplomat rapper Hell Rell, who was incarcerated at the time of the album's release. The album debuted and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 selling 92,000 copies in its first week.[4] The album was certified Gold by the RIAA. In 2012 Complex named the album one of the classic albums of its decade.[5]

Cam'ron described the album as "9/11 music,"[6] and it antagonized the country in the attack's aftermath while adopting its imagery. On "Gangsta," Juelz Santana compares himself to Osama bin Laden, and an original version of "I Love You" praised Mohamed Atta.[7]
