This is far from a bad album. Anybody who says this is LL's worst album must not have heard The DEFinition, Todd Smith, 10, and Phenomenon or must be on some type of drug you should stay away from. What stopped this album from being great is the terrible songs for the ladies like You're My Heart, One Shot At Love and Two Diferrent Worlds. LL mastered the hip hop love jams with I Need Love but he fell on his face with these soulless tunes. Also drab songs like Jealous and Change You Ways(failed inspiration song) aren't that hot. What saves this album are the number of classic LL Cool J joints like  Droppin Em, Smokin Dopin, Clap Your Hands, Nitro, Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?, It Gets No Rougher and Jingling Baby. Past Peg was a cool story with an valuable lesson learned. Commercially aceepted songs like Big Ole Butt, Going Back To Cali and Im That Type Of Guy are pretty good too. On this album, everytime LL stays with the hip hop songs he excells but when he tries his hand at the love songs he fails miserably. There is enough classic LL tunes to make this album a part of your collection. Standout Tracks: DROPPIN'EM, CLAP YOUR HANDS, NITRO, IM THAT TYPE OF GUY, WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT DOPE?, IT GETS NO ROUGHER, BIG OLE BUTT, JINGLING BABY and DEF JAM IN THE MOTHERLAND.
