The album debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200, number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and atop the Top Rap Albums in the United States with 92,300 copies sold in its first week.[1] It was supported with two charted singles, "Break 'Em Off" and "I'm Throwed", which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 72 and No. 87, respectively. Music videos were directed for both singles.
Critical reception
Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly commended the production for making Paul Wall sound credible but criticized his simplistic "elementary rhymes" when put alongside the album's featured artists.[4] AllMusic's David Jeffries praised Wall for sticking with the formula he used for his debut album but felt his material can get stale over a lengthy runtime, concluding with, "Slice this worthy follow-up to The Peoples Champ in half and it's a different story, one that justifies Wall's place in the game".[3] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews saw improvement in Wall's lyrical content and delivery but felt the production throughout the album weakened his charismatic personality.[7]
