What happened next?
Skee-Lo quietly 'retired' from rapping five months after the album's release because of a dispute with label Sunshine Records. Skee-Lo claimed the label took all the credit from the album's success, and he did not make a single cent from it. He said "So I refused to shoot any more videos, promote or record music. I’m not their slave. I wasn’t working for free."
After many years he eventually won the rights against the label in court.
