the 1st rap song i learned...i was in the 3rd grade......i love it.....he's hot as helll....at 18 and 45 damn.....it should be illegal to be that damn sexy
The man is a phenomenon (as he also said himself!) still up there over 25 years after making it (to be honest if he'd been 6 years older he'd have been there in 1979 when it all started too)- and with this showing another string to his bow is probably the best ever 'love rap'.
so anyone on here goin on about wayne and drake and them cunts, actually know what ur talking bout before u say anything
this song was hated when it came out, it was the first hip hop ballad and corny as fuck. girls loved it, but the hip hoppers were wonderin how it went from "tricky" to this so fast
@PS3xMedia it was the more immature hiphoppers who hated it back then - i almost expected some of them to admit they were still at the stage when they "hated girls" as the hate seemed to be saying they had the mental age of 9 year old boys
-Im Like 12 Years old Right Now And My Dad Showed Me this song when iwas about 8 and iknow the whole song !ILove This Song! <3 :) Like This If Your listininq to this in 2012!:)))
Im 38.. I dunno whats goin on in the US.. but hiphop over here is still strong with some fine mc's and spinning vinyl dj's. But it went underground. So i assume the same thing in the US. Pop hiphop over here is also crap.. many are still keeping it alive. Hiphoo never dies.
Do you miss old school hip hop tunes like this one? I know these get really annoying but I PROMISE you that this song will GIVE you and make you FEEL that old school hip hop vibe again, Give it a chance! I Dare You! *copy and paste the link below into your address bar*
im 21 years old and this song to me is a classic, i know im young as hell i was born in the 90's but music like this i have mad respect for cause this is what created the good music in the 90's and the early 2000's not this lil wayne bullshit. Thumbs up if u agree
@JosipOnDeck Personally I'm not an LL fanatic, but yes it did. The point to "Mama Said Knock You Out" was to be a record that would re-establish LL's career and re-define as a dope lyricist after that 2 year funk he had been in from like 88 to 90. Its similar to Pac's "No More Pain". There is no specific subject that the material is centered around, but the stanzas still contain substance.
Hit #1 on the Billboard R&B chart for 1 week on Sept 26, 1987. My eyes almost hit the floor when I realized that he played Sam on NCIS Los Angeles. I rarely pay attention to credits, but one day I just happen to catch it and my jaw did hit the floor.
@TheFreshEC Everything chance else it would be borring but i just wanna listen to music i can see my life in you know what i mean? and not how many bitches they fuck and how many money....but look my man saigon up on youtube hes that shit!!
@EastsideHustler666 Yea i agree to that, Rap about real stuff where the poor people and middle income people could see them self in. Now they only Rap about how they make money of there music and how they only care for that, and how they spend it in big expansive juwerly and cars and houses that 90% of the world cant buy. I will check him out man, how do i find him?
@EastsideHustler666 Not true, you're just not digging deep enough. The sound has changed, obviously, but the essence is still there. Don't give up on hip hop, keep the faith.
@EastsideHustler666 Word up... early 90's was off the hook till NWA hit the scene. Then it was out with Domino, Paperboy and greats like Heavy D , Pete Rock and CL. Hip Hop aint on Life Support. Hip Hop is DEAD Mc's givin love to their DJ's at House parties, Dj's cuttin and scratchin to keep the floor packed, man. It's gone. It's all gone now...
i was in love with this girl wen dis song came out and t think she knew got ask her wen i go bak home dis time if she knew bcouse dats long time hop shes stil alive
Many people say that if you as a man say "I Need Love" or "I need a girl", ur being desperate. Bullcrap! When you need it, you need it. LL tells it like it is!
