@RUGGAMAN1 You need to check yo history bro. LL was the only one considered HardCore Gangsta before Nwa. Def Jam had to pull him back in. He was too aragant and fighting in the streets alot. He roll with real gangstas not prankstas like NWA. go ask AZ he just didnt sell dope cause they kept him out of it. wake up. LL is the MJ of rap.
LOL YOU KIDDING RIGHT ??? LL was the only one considered HARCORE GANGSTA BEFORE NWA LMFAO
Unless Hip Hop History has been rewritten then you are fabricating that shit.......
LL was never considered that and has never been hardcore gangsta....you obviously know nothing about Hip Hop - Schoolly D, Just Ice, Ice T amongst others were known as the original "gangster" rappers.....
and MJ was a kiddie fiddler, are you inferring that James Todd Smith does the same ?
@DREDAY717 no doubt Eric B is street certified, he has real ties with the streets ( original 50 cent Paid In Full back cover etc) and Rakim was God body and you know they got ties in the street, although i believe Rakim ain't built like that....but LL was never considerd gangster in any shape form or fashion
This track is HARD ! LL is definitely the KING OF HIP-HOP ! It's only obvious because he's the last one standing & still going at it. F*ck TI & any other wack a** rappers who claim the title. -1-
LL never needed to rhyme about a gun. He jabs like LEONARD, takes it like HOLYFIELD, rips the straight like ROBINSON, hooks like TYSON, upper-cuts like FRAZIER and will be forever remembered like ALI.
This song still give me goose bumps. My favorite LL track off all time! He went hard as hell on this track. I had this album (14 Shots To The Dome) and played it everyday!! 1993 was the year too!!
Cat's used to dis the album this joint came off of, but even though it kinda flopped but pink cookies, backseat of my jeep and this joint was on here on the low niggas loved this album they just didn't want to admit the shit!!!
I LOVE COOL J BUT THIS CAME OUT WHEN THE WEST COAST WAS ON WITH THE GANGSTA RAP IT WAS LIKE MOCKING THE WEST WITH FORTIES AND THE WHOLE LIQUOR STORE SCENE LOL NIGGAS ON THE EAST WAS HATING BACK THEN OR ADAPTING LOL ADAPTING TO WHAT UR NOT IS FAKE BUT I STILL DIG COOL J ONE OF THE TRUE LEGENDS IN HIPHOP !
I LOVE COOL J BUT THIS CAME OUT WHEN THE WEST COAST WAS ON WITH THE GANGSTA RAP IT WAS LIKE MOCKING THE WEST WITH FORTIES AND THE WHOLE LIQUOR STORE SCENE LOL NIGGAS ON THE EAST WAS HATING BACK THEN OR ADAPTING LOL ADAPTING TO WHAT UR NOT IS FAKE BUT I STILL DIG COOL J ONE OF THE TRUE LEGENDS IN HIPHOP
LL IS THE GREATEST ALL ALL TIME (Actor, Rapper, buff and hard SINCE 1980 BRO !!!! and still going strong, he is old school by heart but puts out new SH*T all the time!!
14 Shots To The Dome is actually a great album in my opinion. I've heard LL say that he liked certain songs off this album but not the whole album because they were pushing him to release a follow up to Mama Said Knock You Out. He said he was artistically exhausted during this album. I still think it's dope tho.'
lol at the people who say he's mainly soft, he was hardcore before 14 shots too (Mama said knock you out, Radio didn't have any love songs, Bigger and Defffer had I need love but mostly hardcore songs, Walking with a Panther or whatever was the only horrible album IMO.)
because they both were trying to come a little "harder" at the time, because that's what was in, in '93. Forgettable periods in both LL and Will's careers IMO. 14 Shots was a decent album, but not nearly as good as Mama Said or Mr. Smith - the albums that came before and after it. Some of it definitely didn't have that LL feel, but rather LL hopping on '93 trends.
@IcecreamLeGenD This is funny. At the time LL was criticized to death for not only this record but the entire album (14 Shots to the Dome). It just goes to show how people flip so easily. In ten years people would be talking down the artist contemporary to that period and talking up Lil' Wayne.
LL Cool J almost had it, he did produce some positiveness while everyone was getting negative and exclusive, now he's just delivered the usual commershal "hip hop" business. (i say "hip hop" cause to me the real hip hop 'ting died in '79)
NWA is partly responsible for all the damn musical shit we have to endure today. I know Dr Dre is a legend for you guys but to me he's just a sell-out. (Eazy-E (RIP) was way more talented)
It's always easier to destroy and kill than build and love.
Women, money and fame, such values teach nothing to no one, except being narrow-minded and self-obsessed. Violence or gangsta rap help no one but capitalists, since their main goal is to divide and conquer.
No matter how rough life can be, we should stop complaining and stay together, lets not forget we're all in the same sinking boat.
I'm longing for some artist who would be clever enough to gather people of all kinds round him.
Long time we haven't had some nice time all together.
back then everyone was "hardcore", "keepin it real", and"buckin' headz down". Gangsta rap was so contagious even Uncle L got caught up in it. Still a dope song tho.
yea i remember he said on yo mtv raps we gonna BAN POP RAP..i HATE POP RAP..he went hard in 93'..but since 97...he's hoppin back on pop rap..hehhhh..wussup ll?
dats right but album from 97 was wack..my opinion GOAT was way better..but not so good to be considered as GOAT..anyway now we got HIP POP...lollipop ringtone rappers..
Goat was the goat cd. Cause he versatized that CD like he usually do. Exit 13 and return of the goat mixtape are good too. Mixtape more street and exit 13 cd is a versatile CD
Everytime i hear this song it reminds me of "X-men legends" the game. I was in the tenth grade when i use to listen to this album. I graduted in 08 though
I don't care what nobody says 14 shots is my favorite LL album. Nothing but hits on that. I miss this raw era and the hype people in the video's...Who doesn't.
this was when LL kinda loss his identity and his record sells were sinking..... he was tryna keep up with da style of rap dat wasn't really him.... but he soon regained his footing. GO LL!
race has nothing to do with it dog..he has an incredible and sales albums..r u kidding me amerikkkas most wanted predator death certificate lethal injection and laugh now cry later homie..i dont care dr.dre has classic albums
dr. dre does not even write rhymes cube aint had a good album since the predator biggie and tupac is hard to debate and eminem because he is white not hate on ur list but thats real
I always say BIG is G.O.A.T.; but that title is based on when you were born, your preferences, & of course, your opinion. Strategically, LL is the best because of his versatility. B.I.G., Jay, Nas, & Pac are great and way ahead of there time, but I'm a hip hop head, & I can't lie and say that any one of them is better than Rakim. BIG is the only rapper to have an album go 'Diamond' (L.A.D.), but Rakim is on some whole 'notha other type shit. LL is more versatile than they are. *HIT ME BACK*
LL is best to me. Versatility goes further then anythang. Score, rebound, assists, block shots, three pointers free throws, steals. Rakim is a great scorer but that is it, LL can get lyrical ass hell and even more then rakim when he does that type of rap. Versatility, so i am with LL.
I like Cool J. But his last hard album was 14 Shots. That album commercially went nowhere, so he went back to doing R&B.
Before this album came out Cool J made it out to seem as if he was going to be doing more rap songs.... less of his songs for ladies. After this album (which I liked) flopped, he rarely returned to doing harder hip hop.
what is that song in 0:00-0:28???
