Songs
The first single of the album, the club song 'What's My Name' was released, which received much airplay on urban radio and television. It reached #67 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The second single was the party anthem "Party Up (Up in Here)", which helped increased album sales. The album also featured more meaningful, introspective tracks such as "Fame" and "Here We Go Again", a heartfelt account of emotional dispute with his fictional protégé, 'Shorty', who he quotes as 'fucking up big time', forcing X to leave him to fend by himself in the streets.
Typical DMX tracks include the obligatory ladies track, "What These Bitches Want", featuring smooth vocals from R&B star Sisqó. The song was released as a third single in its edited form as "What You Want", to moderate radio airplay and a high-budget video from director Hype Williams. Also, the standard X aggressive joints include "Don't You Ever", "Coming For Ya" and "The Professional", wherein DMX documents a criminal's activities throughout the city.
