LL COOL J - I'm Bad (Official Music Video)

So i really don't think you putting in Dre on that list will be effective lol.

As always, it's not just what you do, but how you do it. He did cuss when he said motherfucker at 0:40 & I'll treat you like a stepchild, so tell mommy bye bye at 3:45 But his point is made, as to say that the track isn't completely fueled by vulgarity & misogyny. One line was vulgar, one bar had a misogynistic tone; and it was done (perhaps) as tactful as possible, while maintaining the arrogant confidence of the overall theme. Dude is bad.... you could never deny his talent or skill.

[@Umekias_Corner]

This the comment I was looking for....

[@themonsterbaby]

That's how songs used to be, 3-4 verses with hooks between. Because they were in a studio with actual producers and engineers making SONGS. Today anybody can whip up a beat and record whatever and put it on KZbin by themselves. I'm not hating, music is supposed to evolve or whatever but it's definitely weird to me hearing songs that don't follow a normal kinda format.... and 3 minutes is long now, I hate these little 2 minute songs. Like King Von's "Wayne's Story"..... the song is dope, but right when it's getting good it's over. Like that shit should've been twice as long. I miss full length songs.

That’s not true at all. If everyone had their own style, we wouldn’t be able to identify either as 80s or 90s rap. The fact that I can hear a song and assume it’s from the 80s means there was general sound that many from that time shared
