Yeah some fans balked at it but his credibility wasn't really tarnished. Most of the hub-bub was about the video and the confrontation between Puff & Steve Stoute. As far as hits go that song had much more of a pop culture impact than "Nas Is Like" or "Made U Look". 5-10 years from now you might still be hearing fighters enter the ring to "Hate Me Now".
