Free Music Review: LL Cool J, rap pioneer
Hit: 5 Stars
LL Cool J was a pioneer of rap, coming only a few years after Run-DMC, yet he is still popular today. This is a great compilation featuring all of his classic hits and showing his progression through different stages in his career. It came at exactly the right time too, in 1996, because with a few exceptions everything he's done since the "Mr. Smith" album has been lackluster. LL really made some great songs, and some people don't look at him as a hard rapper, but he really was back in the day and he deserves a lot of respect. He was very influential on hip hop and a lot of guys today owe him something.
The CD contains hits from the albums "Radio", "Bigger and Deffer", "Walking With A Panther", "Mama Said Knock You Out", "Fourteen Shots To The Dome", and "Mr. Smith", all of which were good. Since then, Cool J has made "Phenomenon", "G.O.A.T.", "10" and "The Definition". The album sort of goes in chronological order, starting with the original "I Can't Live Without My Radio". Then comes the classic, "Rock the Bells". "I'm Bad" was also pretty classic, the video especially. "I Need Love" introduced us to the sappy lover side of LL Cool J, but the song isn't terrible. "Going Back to Cali" was a pretty cool song. My favorite, "Around The Way Girl" from 1990 is the tenth track, it has good production and chorus. "Mama Said Knock You Out" was one of the hardest songs he's ever done, from the 1990 album of the same name. "The Boomin' System" is a funky song meant for your ride. "Doin' It" is really good, I like the chanting and the production my Trackmasters is A+. The "Loungin'" remix is included, a good song. It finishes with the Boyz II Men collaboration "Hey Lover", a peaceful end.
Although it does contain some kind of forgettable tracks like "Back Seat", all of these tracks were hits, and they're mostly great, it's a very entertaining listen. The only song that should be here but isn't is "I'm That Type of Guy", but that was probably kept off because if it was here it would qualify for the "Parental Advisory" sticker. LL was a great rapper, and while never a genius lyrical artist, he made good songs and is a true hip hop pioneer. Don't look at him as washed up, but as a true father of hip hop. Anybody who doesn't have all of the LL albums ought to get this.
