Commercial performance

It debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one (and stayed there for three consecutive weeks) with over 670,000 units shipped in the first week. In January 1999, the album was ousted from the top spot by Britney Spears' debut, ...Baby One More Time. The album eventually went 3× platinum in the US. DMX became the second artist to have two albums released in the same calendar year debut at number one on the Billboard 200. The latter album to have done so was released posthumously by Tupac Shakur under the alias Makaveli (his first was All Eyez on Me, while the second was The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory).
