[edit] Production
In an interview with MTV News on June 25, 2007, Chingy stated, "I just worked with Cool and Dre, Scott Storch, I'll probably go in with Timbaland, Kanye West, and Just Blaze to name a few." He has also recorded tracks for DTP's upcoming album Strength in Numbers.
During his appearance of the November 23rd edition of 106 & Park, he mentioned Ludacris, Trey Songz, Rick Ross, Amerie, Anthony Hamilton & Bobby Valentino to make appearances on the album.
[edit] Chart Performance
The album debuted at a disappointing #84 on the charts, selling a mere 31,000 copies. The St. Louis rapper's first three albums all managed to debut in the Top 10. Poor promotion and timing with the release of "Fly Like Me" have been blamed for the album's downfall.
[edit] UK success
Despite no promotion or official release over in the United Kingdom, quite a few copies are expected to have been officially sold via HMV.com who have been selling the album for only £2.99 for a lengthy amount of time as an import from the USA and therefore made the album hit as high as #3 on HMV's 'top 10 hip-hop albums chart' (dropped out the chart when price raised back to £9.99). Although this was obviously due to the cheap price, it still means that lots of copies have been sold and this cannot officially chart in the UK but this may have added to the album sales in the US and is a mini-success. "Hate It Or Love It" is the 1st Chingy album to have not been officially pressed and released in the UK (saw release in Japan & US) and many people are asking for the album to be released over in the UK officially with some bonus tracks and a fresh new cover although this seems unlikely as the record label will probably not fund this and because lots of copies have already been sold @ £2.99 (although it is now back at £9.99) or at a slightly price over from marketplace sellers on amazon.co.uk or from amazon directly. Fans are still hopeful
