The album spawned two charted singles: "Playaz Club" and "I'll Be Around", which made it to #36 and #39 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the United States. The album itself peaked at number 174 on the Billboard 200 and at number 52 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

The album title was named for the song "Don't Fight the Feelin'" on Too $hort's 1988 album Life Is...Too Short, which is where Rappin' 4-Tay made his mainstream debut.

Notes

Only the first pressing of this album contained the original version of "I'll Be Around" with a running time of 5:16, which is not available on the single or any other album. All subsequent pressings of this album contained a remixed version of "I'll Be Around" with a running time of 5:47. The most obvious difference between the original version and the remix is that in the remix the music starts at the very beginning during the phone call, in the original the music doesn't start until after the phone call intro.

Sample credits

Track 6 contains a sample of the guitar riff from "Private Number" by Judy Clay and William Bell
Track 7 contains the line "You can't trust a big butt and a smile", repeated many times in the background, from "Jimmy" by Boogie Down Productions; and "Don't Fight the Feelin'" by Too $hort
Track 8 contains a sample of the chorus from "I'll Be Around" by The Spinners.
