The album has sold 1.7 million copies in the US and 2.5 million worldwide. The UK release of the album contains the remix of "Go Crazy" featuring Jay-Z.

[edit] Miscellaneous
The boxes of money depicted on the cover are a reference to the 2001 film Blow. In the film, the protagonists accumulate a large amount of money from selling cocaine, which they store in boxes in their house. In his song "Let's Get It/Sky's The Limit," Jeezy says "Trying to get Boston George and Diego money" — a reference to the film's protagonists.
