Personally, I think the fast paced love songs are corny, and on later albums they became more prevalent. Yea he raps well, but for that time they were so trendy. "...DJ...Rapper" was very unique for it's time, and still is. I let a friend listen to it for the first time recently and he was amazed by it. The clean production, the DJ'in, FP's flow and lyrics, the variety in songs, it's the perfect blend.
