TRACK OF THE DAY: I'm Bad (LL Cool J)
James Todd's second studio album B.A.Dreally needs no introduction. It topped charts at number 1 on Top Hip-Hop/R&B Albums and number 3 on the Billboard 200. L.L. was still living in his grandmothers basement when this LP dropped back in 1987. Well he definitly rapped his way to the top becoming a trend setting legend. All I can say is.........No rapper can rap quite like I can/I'll take a musclebound man and put his face in the sand/Not the last Mafioso Im a M.C. cop/make you say "Go L.L" and do the wop.....
TRACK OF THE DAY: LL Cool J ft. Boyz II Men- Hey Lover
James Todd Smith was/is/forever will be a pioneer of the rap game. Cool J hails reign to being amongst an elite group of very few hip-hop stars to sustain a successful recording career for more than two decades. This cut comes from his 1993 album "Mr Smith" and helped girth (the now common) combination of rap and R&B. "Hey Lover" featured Boyz II Men and contained sampling from Michael Jackson's "The Lady in My Life". Not only was it one of the first hip-hop videos to air on American VH1, but it also earned LL a Grammy. Enjoy this classic. Peace.
