It was nominated at the Grammy Awards of 2005 for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, though it lost both awards to the songs " Jesus Walks" and " Let's Get It Started", respectively. It gained some critical attention for its minimal, extremely sparse production, consisting of tongue clicks, keyboards, a drum machine beat and white noise. It also peaked at number one for four consecutive weeks in New Zealand, and number ten in the UK Singles Chart. The song also gave him his first number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It was also his fourth top-ten as a solo artist, first since 2003's " Beautiful" (1993's " What's My Name?" and 1994's " Gin and Juice" were the others).
