When rappers could still sound tough without cursing every other word. This was skilled rapping.

[@lonewolf36s]

back when every word mattered. Not nonsensical brrrrrtttt noises and bird chirps.. The rhymes were slower paced, like at least double slow. But they had POWER and serious strength. I'd say it's a different kind of intelligence comparing the two. We have some crazy skilled rappers today, but the value of words is lost and replaced with beat, tempo, catchy repeated sfx, and catchy slang phrases like "no cap". Lyrical vs Imperical. I miss lyrical.

[@murphymurf6581]

So true

[@d.j.w.6431]

Cursing or not it's artistry and expression..I've seen other genres say and do worse.

[@nathanieldelrosario1324]

i see rap today like hair metal of the 80s, basically rap became so popular that rap became watered down. now all we do is wait until another genre of music to take over for a bit and the cycle continues.

[@coryevon6482]

LL actually knocked a dude out. The guy broke into his house and his family was sleeping. He went to the kitchen and found some guy in his house. He knocked him out cold and held him till the police got there. He works out a little bit. 😂 Old school LL… Rock the bells, Going Back to Cali, Around the Way Girl, my Radio, etc

"i didnt know LL Cool J could rap like this" SMH,,I know Jayvee is young and of course he wouldn't know much about LL but still that's wild just hearing that because LL is one of the greatest rappers of al time.He actually is the first rapper to use the label G.O.A.T.. For those like me who grew up on LL, we all know he always come hard. And LL is a master at diss records. Jack the Ripper comes to mind and "The Breakthrough" You need to check out IMO his best song ever "Im Bad" A lyrical master piece.

[@rickybuhl3176]

It's better than a '..wasnt he the cook in that shark movie..!?' Child of the 80's, so Mr. Smith was my first album of his (Danish - so we didn't have easy access to much) but 'HipHop' got me to go back through his stuff, got me into Mobb Deep and others too.

@@lonnielongino798 you're confusing diss tracks and battle rapping.

[@guycarter6692]

You gotta give it to LL, he had some serious longevity as a rapper. The chanting throughout the song is a sample of a "Sly & The Family Stone" song & he said that he got the idea from when he was complaining to his grandmother about people saying that he was washed up. Her response was "You just got to knock em all out." He also was continuing his beef with Kool Moe Dee when he said "How you like me now!"

[@Ozzy_2014]

That rabbit hole you need to go down!!!

[@janmalandra1899]

When L.L. started his rap career in the 80s he found himself with a worthy rival, a rapper named Kool Moe Dee. The two exchanged diss tracks back and forth with no clear victor until L.L. dropped this track. It was the biggest hit of L.L.'s career and it ended Kool Moe Dee's career instantly. When L.L. says the line, "How you like me now?", he was referring to Kool Moe Dee's last diss track. This was the old school rap rivalry for the ages.

[@jaakpotts]

Kool Moe Who? 😉😉😉

[@Ozzy_2014]

Ended his career? Don't remember LL in Big will's Wild Wild West video?

[@puffin20]

He didn't end Moe's career though... Kool Moe Dee, who had been calling LL to a live battle which he never engaged in, had commented:"I always said that the reason LL can never win a battle is because he talks so much about himself - that he can't talk about anything else. He used his charisma, energy and vocabulary, which is basically a combination of my style, T La Rock & Run, but in battling it's more. Like when I hit him with the Ls (lower level, lackluster etc) it wasn't just insulting, but it had poetic value to it".

[@pwhpwh70]

Kool Moe Dee was ten times the lyricist the LL was.

[@saltywinchester1600]

Yeah cool, but this diss track was for cannabis, not for Kool Moe Dee.

[@korybeavers6528]

The story goes, that his Grandma was watching MTV and saw some other Rappers dissing LL and she said he should "knock them out"

[@jennhurl]

LL Cool J= Ladies Love Cool James 🔥🔥🔥 Yes, we do!! 😉 No one has abs like him - even still today!!

[@derekbury7262]

I consider LL Cool J as a Rapper first, actor second. This was a great pump up song to get ready for lifting at the gym or a rugby match

[@craigcampbell1843]

That’s good because he was a rapper for decades before he got into acting. Lol

[@ingrid8994]

“DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK I’VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS!” I listen to this every day to get ready for work lol 🥊😅 💫

[@Mus1c1luv]

LL and Kool Moe Dee - one of the original rapper feuds. I liked them both.

[@Santacroce73]

"Death Blow" was KMDs track that kept it going I think L.L. started with "Til the Break of Dawn", "Death Blow" is Brutal. Lol Great era....both dudes.

[@Malka18]

L.L. was a super heartthob in the beginning of his music career..Please play Round The Way Girl..

[@newclothes8165]

Title of the song came from one night he was watching an awards show with his grandmother and she said he was better than all the other acts. she said "You should go out there and knock them out."

[@salsasoul4112]

LL is Hip-Hop Royalty. He deserves to be inducted with soooo many more Hip-Hop Greats. This dropped in 1990. I was in High School. This blasted in everyone's car in New York City.

Other hit songs - Goin' Back to Cali, Doin' it, and I'm That Type of Guy.

[@adamsgrad93]

I'm That Type of Guy is one of my favorite songs!

[@Crackoneopen]

He used to have a sitcom called "In The House" I remember watching it. He also had a track 'Hey Lover' ft Boyz to Men. which was more like his "Ladies Love Cool James" style.

[@deadzone5389]

I had forgotten about "In the House." LL had been in a few movies, but that was his first full-time acting gig. It went on for five seasons. It was kind of neat that he played against type. His character was an ex-jock but he was written as kind of spacey and spiritual, and for the first couple seasons he played against Debbie Allen who was a more hard-nosed divorcee.

[@gregoryashley7963]

LL is a top tier lyricist. Check out his song: "The Breakthrough".

[@pwhpwh70]

Not really. Kool Moe Dee was much better "lyricist".

True but I believe that was in the NCIS :LA came. For that role he took fighting skills working with stunts pros and actual fighting lesson. But I believe this song was a diss track for Cannabis the rapper.

[@SuburbanSavage]

True story: I was the high school mascot, which was a knight motif with papier mache head for 4 years. During my senior year, the costume was stolen out of the coach's car. So I missed the 1st half of football season, until one of the male teachers offered to let me borrow an old Mummers costume (look that up) from a Camelot theme his Mummer group had done. The principal wanted a big surprise appearance for the Crusader, with a dance number. I performed a dance routine in the homecoming pep rally to "Mama Said Knock You Out" in a 60lb Mummers costume, on roller skates, while twirling a baton. I am not a dancer or a skater, but I performed a miracle that day, even though I wound up bruised from my neck to my ankles from a 60lb suit.

He wanted to listen to it for awhile, so he "borrowed" it. I never saw the tape again, lol. There's a song by Kool Moe Dee that dis's this song but I forgot which one. I'll have to look for it.

[@newclothes8165]

Bruh. I remember buying this tape and if you remember,,"Booming system" was the first song on side one. He had already released that as a single earlier so I skipped past it. I was on a date with my GF and I'm driving going through the songs on side one. We get to the restaurant and right as I pulled up. "Mama said knock you out" came on and I was messed up. i played it 3 more times int he parking lot and my girl is getting mad because shes hungry and ready to go in. Later that night I kept rewinding that song over and over again. It wasn't until the next day that I heard the rest of side two. Loved the Funky Drummer loop in it. My favorite beat.

"I'm Bad", "Radio", "Jack The Ripper" are just three more LL Cool J greats you should hear.

[@StudioMod]

Fresh Prince mentions the line "mama said knock you out". I think it's the episode where the girl at the gym kicks the crap out of him and he beats her at the end. At some point, I think she mentions a powerful quote to him and the name of the person who said it, and he responds "mama said knock you out - LL Cool J...". Funny scene. Possibly what you talking about. In the end though, it would appear Will's own mother told him to only slap him.

[@leonwhitted5662]

It's nice to see the new school picking up on the old school flavor, but to really experience it the way it was you had to be there. Back when your ride was Rock Box One, the killer sound system window and top of the ride down and your cut was blasting out of them state of that speakers and car stereo system. Junior year in college and LL dropped this cut as I was heading back to school. I had this jamming as I rode on to campus and everyone was partying! Raw edge sound and LL was not playing around, slaying everyone who thought he was soft and done because he dropped a top 40 hit with I need Love. Mr. Smith was his return to the old LL cool j sound.

There are no conversations that even need to be had..-> If your mother tells you to do something, you not only have her blessing, it is necessary! It is funny too though at the end he was just a young man sitting in his mom’s basement with his imagination. Everything has to start from somewhere. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. If you KNOW you have “IT”, you probably are right. If you have good taste and know what’s good and think you’re good, then you SHOULD. Trust yourself and don’t listen to the word NO. LL didn’t.

[@nrgtxn]

LL is in his own lane! Brought 🔥 from the jump: “I Can’t Live Without My Radio”, Dear Yvette”, “I Need Love”, “I’m Bad”, “Big Ole Butt”, “I’m The Type of Guy”, “Around the Way Girl”, “Pink Cookies…”, “Back Seat of my Jeep”, “Doin It”, “Hey Lover”. Pause. Hold up, I could keep going, but here’s the straight truth: if you play any of his compilation albums or greatest hits, all bangers, you didn’t hear me ALL BANGERS! LL got bars for decades! “Between the Sheetz” w/Mickey Shiloh from 2013 might be the most underrated banger in his entire catalog.

[@sarahjsmith3897]

Oh man, I totally had this cassette

[@amyaeschbach3581]

So glad you picked us for LL! You just got to see one of the original Hardcore rappers of the 90s who paved the way for all the rappers that we here today and many others. Again I was in high school. He was a man you could feel good about liking and listening to. With talent just oozing out of his pores. He is a great man and has mentored many more artists. He coined the phrase “Mama said knock you out”. I still find it coming out of my mouth today. I highly recommend you watching more of him and “going back to Cali“ is a sweet and fun one always! Your reaction was great I love how you were so surprised and loved his flow. His purity of rap is nothing like there is today. peace

LL Cool J aka James Todd Smith told his grandmother that he had a hard time competing with all the young and upcoming gangster rappers that were dissing him. She said: Oh baby, just knock them out. The number had samples from Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, Chicago Gangsters and ŁL's own Rock the Bells. He was hitting at Kool Moe Dee. He later had a "beef" with Canibus. They took turns at each other. But LL later thanked him for inspiration

LL’s DJ is Cut Creator!! This is back when DJs were really cutting on the records...not mixing on scratch machines! All the MCs would shout their DJs out in some way back in the day...either throw them a line, a verse or even an entire song! DJs were just as big as the MCs! “Gooo! Go Cut Creator! Gooo!” 🎶🎶 You should check that song out too! LL gives his DJ props and Cut Creator kills that track!👍🏾✌🏾

Gotta love LL!!!

Ladies Love Cool James. Back in the day he did an episode of MTV Unplugged. Rapping over a full band. He was skeptical when they called him (according to an interview) but after hearing the band play he was totally into it. An original game changer that only got bigger with time.

Haven't heard this song forever. Love it

Going Back To Cali, Boomin System, I’m Bad, I Need Love, Around the Way Girl, and so many more. LL is a bad man!! He’s also known as a genuinely good guy, too. Been with his wife since 1995.

I need love Jay, come on man 🎶♥️

[@petemcfeet28]

Yep. Going back to Cali. Coolest video of its day and that bass!

His granny told him to “knock out the competition!” That’s gave him the ideal for this song!

[@spitnificent]

The reason he started the song by saying “c’mon man” is because he was frustrated with the engineer and on the take that ended up being the session that made the album you can almost hear that this session had better hit the mark or else someone was getting fired or knocked TF out lol.
