It topped the R&B album chart in its first week and was sixth in its second week. [ [http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,272920,00.html 'SLIM' DANDY | The Charts | Music | Entertainment Weekly | 1 ] ] . It remained an R&B chart surfer for 26 consecutive weeks [http://www.meantime-jp.com/Article/NoLimitProject/Albums/Bossalinie.html C-Murder ] ] .

The album includes a track called "On my Enemies" that samples 2Pac diss song towards The Notorious B.I.G. and The Bad Boy Family that had not yet been released. It was renamed and camouflaged to a tribute record due to a lack of rights to the sample for the song owned by Death Row Recordsand/or Amaru Records, as the album liner notes give no credit to 2Pac. It started a feud with Death Row affiliate Yukmouth who released a diss track towards the executive producer of album, Master P. Yukmouth's remake of "Still Ballin" (original created earlier, remix can also be found on "Better Dayz") on his 1999 album "Thugged Out - The Albulation" contains the lyrics : "Cats fakin ya mak...waitin to jack..soon as the day it will pass [...] aim an infrared at the head of a rapper trying to make a living off a dead man [...] " [ [http://www.asklyrics.com/display/Yukmouth/Still_Ballin_Lyrics/143831.htm Yukmouth - Still Ballin Lyrics ] ] .

C-Murder was also charged by Bridgeport Records and/or Southfield Records with improper use of the musical composition "Flashlight" as an interplolated/sampled portion in "W Balls" whereas the infringement has not been remedied as described in Infringing Compositions and/or Sound Recordings and/orRecordshttp://www.tnmd.uscourts.gov/bridgeport1j.pdf]
