[@user-dz6fy6qv2l]

Wasn't the first rap slow song. There was Fairytale Lover in 85 and even Hey Love in 86. It was however the best and afterwards every rapper had at least one on their album for a hot minute.

Yes UTFO was a rap group, but that song was definitely sung & not rapped. It's like the Fugees, Killing Me Softly. Lauryn sang that one. Definitely not a rap song. I don't know Hey Love. Who is that by? You brought back memories with Fairytale Lover. Lol. It played at my 7th grade dance! Good times!😊

[@user-dz6fy6qv2l]

@@sw828 Ha.. I guess Fairytale Lover doesn't meet that exact criteria.. and even before that, there were also love songs by the Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash.. All sung.. Some might consider Whodini's 'One Love' as a hit song that proved a rap ballad could work, and that was '86. "Hey Love" was done by King Sun. I mistakenly said 1986, but it was 1987 and it was before "I Need Love". They used to play it on Mr Magic's radio in NYC all the time. It's crazy because MC Shan came out with "Left Me Lonely' within weeks of "I Need Love" as well. That was kinda the year that hip-hop started growing up.

Mama Said Knock You Out was released on September 14, 1990, by Def Jam Recordings. It was promoted with five singles, four of which became hits: "The Boomin' System", "Around the Way Girl", the title track, and "6 Minutes of Pleasure". The album was certified double platinum in the United States, having shipped two million copies. According to Yahoo! Music's Frank Meyer, Mama Said Knock You Out "seemed to set the world on fire in 1990", helped by its hit title track and LL Cool J's "sweaty performance" on MTV Unplugged. The title song reached number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold by the RIAA. LL Cool J won Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1991.

Remember this from my senior year in high school. LL Cool J started rapping at age 16 in 1984. He's from Long Island, NY and was raised in Hollis Queens, NY. He said in his autobiography that he told his grandmother that he felt that he couldn't survive as a rapper because gangsta rap was popular and he was being dissed by several up-and-coming rappers. He has a list of bangers and starred in many movies and tv shows like NCIS: Los Angeles. He won a Grammy for this song. He is a GOAT for sure!

Someone tried breaking into his house once. Guess what happened? He got knocked the f*ck out! For real.

[@evilfox111]

Yeah! If I'm not mistaken he broke the guys jaw. 🤷🏾‍♀️ shouldn't have broken in. He had to protect his family. Lucky he didn't kill him.

[@erina.5421]

@@evilfox111 Yeah, dude is super lucky. I don't feel sorry for him at all. Like had he never seen LL before? Dude is a BEAST.

[@yolondayolonda4423]

Yes old school rappers be talking that's why we say today these rappers just mumble 😭🤦🏾‍♀️

[@a.taylor8294]

[@TheSmokey999]

You need to react to, LL COOL J -LOUNGING-FEAT TOTAL ( Official Music Video) or DOIN IT ( Official Music Video)

[@sharians-bluesky]

Smokey, I've requested Loungin' possibly 7 or 8 times. Hopefully, you succeed 👍🏼🤞🏼👊🏼.

LL so not Compton grew up a few blocks from where I lived and now lives about 5 miles from me! NY in the house! From all I know he is a sweetheart!

[@Blauqkween]

LL Cool J's Jack the Ripper is one of my favorite hardcore raps back in the day.

[@hipster818]

Still remember him preforming this song on MTV Unplugged. It was simply amazing to watch.

[@sharians-bluesky]

What??!!! 🤣😂💗 LL is a G.O.A.T. in everything he does. You saw LL in the Craig Mack video. We can go on & on forever with his jams! I ❤ Cool J!!!

[@tafkap01]

He has also been on NCIS Los Angeles for years. I have followed him through every phase of his career. You def need to do some of his older jams. This only scratching the surface.

Ok twins we need you to react to Eric B and Rakim Paid In Full

That’s a need for sure. Rakim is my boy forever. He was my boyfriend in my head. Lol 😂

[@lisasimmons9849]

Yessss!!!

[@jackie_jrml]

Around the Way Girl 😍😍😍 such a great 90’s video 😂 I had a huge crush on him when I was 12 yrs old. I had to have the Mama Said... album.

[@julie2643]

I saw him in concert when I was in high school at the Oakland coliseum. Wow, did I have a Huge crush. I am glad you are hearing one of the original greats of rap !

[@mhicks31]

"i'm that type of guy" is my favorite by LL Cool J. Great lyrics and video.

[@ray-xr9ro]

Rap was intense, raw, and had alot of meaning with energy in the good old days!💯

[@seventhangel8019]

I know I saw you look him up, but L.L. has had one hell of a career! He's done music, movies, and tv shows. He was in Any Given Sunday, Deliver Us From Eva, Last Holiday, SWAT, Deep Blue Sea, In Too Deep, Kingdom Come, Slow Burn, Rollerball, Charlie's Angels just to name a few. He is also in NCIS: Los Angeles. He has numerous singles from quite a few albums. Yes, I am a fan. This was one of the songs from back in the day that brought back some great memories. Thanks, guys for doing it.

[@msbrandymo]

FINALLY putting him in HOF. Should've been in first!!! I said what I said!

[@ohsoedgy6888]

Yeah he got the Musical Excellence Award

[@bigmike2464]

Thing is, LL Cool J was already considered a legend by this and he was only 22 years old in 1990 when this came out.... And his legend only grew from 1984 until 2024... he coined the term GOAT and it fits.. BTW, he is born and raised in Queens New York

[@janmalandra1899]

L L Cool J and Kool Moe Dee had been battling each other through diss tracks for the whole of the 80s as their rap careers got bigger, but there wasn't a decisive winner until L L Cool J dropped this track, ending Kool Moe Dee's career instantly!

[@mltgirl08moore89]

FACTS he did after that Kool Moe Dee didn't make music not that I remember anyway

[@janmalandra1899]

@@mltgirl08moore89 Kool Moe Dee dropped a diss track in response to "Mama Said Knock You Out" called "The Death Blow", but it got no attention and he didn't release anything after that.

LL Cool J! YESSSSSSS! This is real rap! One of the OG from the East Coast! Listen to all of his raps! He's awesome! Also, look at when he was inducted into The Kennedy Honors...1st rapper to be inducted! Love you LL!

[@sharians-bluesky]

I don't think they know the importance of that honor. Normally, presidents attend and the cream of the crop!
