The album was commercially successful, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200, although critical reception was mixed to average. His 2009 follow-up single, "Drop" (featuring Polow da Don) became popular through remixes and freestyles by then-upcoming Internet rappers, including Childish Gambino, Kid Cudi, and Earl Sweatshirt. His subsequent releases failed to reach any further commercial response.
