Notes

"Intro" is originally from P. Diddy and the Bad Boy Family's 2001 album The Saga Continues.... It was the fourteenth track, and was titled "Incomplete (Interlude)"
"All I Wanna Do" contains an interpolation of "Got My Mind Made Up" by 2Pac, Tha Dogg Pound, Method Man, & Redman from Pac's fifth album All Eyez On Me.
"Dropping Out Of Love" has an identical instrumental to that of The Notorious B.I.G. and 112's "Sky's the Limit" from his second album Life After Death, which in turn contained samples of Bobby Caldwell's "My Flame" and D. Train's "Keep On."
"Freak", which is a Japanese bonus track and originally featured female rapper Babs, was written by Chris Henderson, Steve Jordan, Diddy, Th. Baldursson, M Bjoekland and J Kurduletsch.
"Ooh La La" which is the other Japanese bonus track was written by Ryan Leslie, Richard Frierson and David Haulsey.
The song Remind You was iTunes' Single of the Week one week.
