56 year old LL sounding like it’s 2000 :whew: :whew:Very refreshed compared to other long time vets, but vets have really been coming through a couple years now consistently. That “rap is a young man’s” game is a thing of the past, cause the biggest number movers AND quality is going to folks like 33 and up. Gen Z and Alpha in shambles.

Only songs I’m not feeling are the Saweetie track, the Eminem track, and Basquiat Energy

Man this was great

I agree with taking off 2 songs

Proclivities and Basquiat Energy

Love this album

4.5/5



Wow.


A four point five.
Crazy because this is not a classic.
Where none of the blame for missing rhw mark falls in ll cool j, besides executive producing this as an indie.


Just an excellent job and finally


The ll cool j album we all asked for his whole career.


Ll always comes through and rejuvenates his draw.
every twenty years since 84.

First with I need a beat.
the long version clocking in at 7.45 minutes on wax.
as a debut on vinyl single.
Then a return to classic series of records in the vein of I need love.

The 20004 update to I need luv in luv u betta.

Just a master ful career as a flagship pop entry way point.
As the boi king of his own era. To 2024 and a master of the indies.
To further cosign his life as the guy we all have to be. As standard to even be considered in life.

as ll cool j is the model.
of who you think you wanna be in your head.

Already living from boi king.
to manhood reality since 1984.

I wanna be ll when I grow up.
you do to.

even if you do not think so.

We are all wannabes in the model and visage of ll cool j.


It is a fact. Which you can not dispute.

as every relevent thing you wanna do or be.
is from the boi king, ll cool j.

I haven't heard it yet but for those that have on first listen how does compare to Common and Pete Rock's album?

Common Vs LL ?
PR vs Tip ?
Overall ?



You getting a dream come true nostalgic treat.
That you have to make room to spin both.

Like how back in the day used to be.
In the type deck era.


No rewinds.
No skips

Full album long player playability, front to back, a to b side.


A crisp modern walk down memory lane.
With this kinda weird compromise of pop urban twist. Yet no sellable records. That are blatant major label cross over attempts..

Given the time and change of the market.
applied to previous culture based mores and norms.

Just spin them both.
As both emcees are in the pocket and.
While showing glimpses.
of why they are.
culturally who they are.

ll COOl J
