_REAR END_ is the only studio album released by American recording artist
Mercedes. It was released on June 29, 1999,[3] on No Limit Records and
Priority Records. It was produced by Beats By the Pound. _Rear End_ found
mild success on the _Billboard charts_ in the United States, but was not as
successful as some of their other chart-topping releases during that time,
only peaking at #72 on the _Billboard_ 200 and #12 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop
Albums.
One single found success on the charts: "It's Your Thing", which featured
Master P, made it to number 96 on the _Billboard_ Hot 100,[4] number 31 on the
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks,[5] and number 4 on the Hot Rap Singles.[6]
"Do You Wanna Ride" was only included on the first edition press of the album
and was later taken off due to copyright infringement for the sample(s) not
being cleared properly and/or used without permission. A second edition or
re-release/re-pressing also exists with that track not appearing on the album
the second time around. Future pressings of the album contained 22 tracks
unlike the original, first pressing that contains 23 tracks. The samples that
were not cleared on the song are as follows: "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6 &
"Mercedes Boy" by Pebbles.[date=June 2024]
