Recording session took place at Graffiti Tunez in West Oakland, at Buck Fifty Records, at Bay View Productions, at Sucka Free City and at JT's in the Mo. Production was handled by Ant Banks, Black C of RBL Posse, Cyrus Esteban, Gigolo G, J-Mack, JT the Bigga Figga, Lil' Fly, T.C., and Franky J, who also served as executive producer. The album features guest appearances from fellow San Francisco-based rappers JT the Bigga Figga, Lil' Fly and Seff tha Gaffla.
The album spawned two charted singles, "Playaz Club" and "I'll Be Around", which made it to numbers 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.
Track listing
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
