Tone was actually one of my favorite rappers during that period.
I understand why people thought he was corny. I didn't mind the lightheartedness, and enjoyed his guest appearances on tracks by Chubb Rock, Nas, Louie Rankin...etc.
But yeah, 98 is banger. Also liked the title track a lot. I need to revisit the album.
>I actually dug that album even though Tone is corny as hell.
