Killin' dudes on the field back in football camp....this was the defense's theme song. 'I think he's gonna need back up, he gonna need back up' after a vicious hit, interception or sack.

[renagadeprdgy]

I think it's so funny that his entire outfit is just as dope back then as it is today, but what isn't funny is it probably cost twice as much today fat rope chain included.

[colpo175]

[archie7jugghead]

Still get an attitude when i hear this song lol!

[MrReman23]

lol Eminem got his style from this song.

[vegitausa]

This probably is my favorite LL song. I was listening to this song in my headphones some years back and I kept hearing this sound in the background that was a little faint. After thinking about it for a while I came to the conclusion that he must have been wearing his gold chains while he was recording cause that sure what the faint sound in the background sounded like. lol Sounded like some chains moving around.

[18madev]

5 people r suck aasses

[macedoadonias1]

Eu curtir muito estas musicas a alguns anos atrás no Club House.

[worshipstream]

It was crazy. The way they mixed this album, you had to blast the music just to hear what LL was saying!

[archie7jugghead]

@worshipstream that was the whole idea if u werent POUNDING BASS U SHOULDNT BE PLAYIN THIS SONG.

[yungmelproductionz93]

[udownwithepic]

The coup wu tang suuuuuu

[Mixatronicalizm]

GOT THIS ALBUM ON VINYL

[sk8guy09]

everyone complaining about the age of hip hop lists, it does kind of say ect on the end...

[Dante95nyc]

@sk8guy09 I know right, I put it there for a reason. Well I guess people don't know what ect means.

[kingrob29]

Loved listening to him Run-DMC the Beastie Boys and MC Lyte back then!

[TheGiantsfan89]

this hot shitttt

[SuperREGSS]

i feel you dogg

[1Msbrebre]

"dont eat oreo's eat cool j cookies, im bad" lol luv it!

[loupremo]

"a tall light skinned brother with dimples"....ll cool j is light skinned?

[thegrahamreaper1]

Youtube Fail "Dislike button on an LL Cool J video"

[fleshnbone187]

@thegrahamreaper1 Well, LL is no exception when it comes to having made crappy songs but this song sure as hell doesn't deserve to have a dislike button.

[mynameisgyw]

This is how you rap!!! You stupid motherfuckers!!!!

[QwarterZ1]

how is dude going to have G Unit up there? where's Lupe Fiasco?

fllllllllllluck outta here with that G Unit ish....Joe Budden>>>>>>>

[Dante95nyc]

@QwarterZ1 I wasn't going to put everybody up there. I was running out of characters so....... yeah.

[shadyfireandflow]

3 people just arn't bad

[haznip]

man i almost forgot about this song and when i started hearing it i got goosebumps. i rock the 80s!

[Poyzinstinger]

this is real hip-hop from the days when it still belonged to black folks. it wasn't about money it was about the music and having fun. I think if we had known that white executives would destroy our music we would have kept it to ourselves by any means

[brianartillery]

Heard this way back in 1987 - hell, he'd evolved, and how! That rolling bassline just sounded like it came from outer space. Genius!

[knightstar73]

Living Legend Cool J ........that what LL stands for now .

[knightstar73]

i started listening to hip hop/rap back in 84 during the breakdancing days and i thought to myself "this rap thing is gonna fade away just like disco music". but in 87 when i bought LL Cool J's BAD album ..boy was i wrong. this is the album on why i love hip hop / rap today. don't get me wrong, is today's hip hop the shit? no its not. i only like 50% of the hip hop thats out there now like Eminem Jay-Z ect. but the other 50% is just plain wack rappers with only 1 hit song on 20 track cd

[TheTopDog1000]

@Dante95nyc Era periods are messed up but I agree.

[TheHoffmanHouse]

@Dante95nyc wow 1078 what rappers made songs back then?

[scarfaceaceo]

@TheHoffmanHouse where do you see 1078?

[68skate68]

@TheHoffmanHouse back in the days the flinstones were make rhythms

[68skate68]

@Dante95nyc flip the bronze and silver... and you got a deal

[lordblighty]

@68skate68

You Know that man! Respect!

[R9G5V6]

@Dante95nyc you broke it down correct right there

[Kingofbama]

@Dante95nyc don't understand how u can have Kid N Play but no Rakim on ur list..SMH! jk

[zer0nable]

@Dante95nyc

we have Garbage Age since 1995 !  best time was 1984 to 1990

[sfknns]

@zer0nable , 1984 - 1990? LoL yeah just ignore wu tang, cypress hill, main source, canibus, nas, organized konfusion, jeru, biggie, lord finesse, redman, arrested development, black moon, camp lo, etc! best time was 1984-1997!

[Redrumhydro]

@zer0nable fuck no

[SPECDESTRO]

@Dante95nyc I agree bro!! Well said!

[sfknns]

@Dante95nyc , LL was out in 85 dude LOL doesn't he belong in bronze age? wheres kane & rakim? g rap? epmd? I'd put the dark ages lower than 2006 more like 2003 or 2004-present as dark ages!

[Dante95nyc]

@sfknns I don't why you want me to name everybody when I put ect at the end of everything. I wasn't going to name everybody so yeah. They were the came to my mind.

[Undergr0undCity]

@Dante95nyc Real hip hop still exists, it justs pop garbage has gotten the title as "hip hop" even now adays we have cats like J-Live, Homeboy Sandman, Jedi Mind Tricks, Creative Juices.... Its still raw hip hop, you really just gotta look a bit further than the radio. and 1998 - 2005 is kinda flawed, even to your standards, right up till 2000 you had people like Mos Def / Talib Kweli on MTV... Ignore the stereotypes and misunderstandments, please.

[kdj997]

@Dante95nyc We know you don't know what you talking about cause in your golden age you omitted Rakim, KRS-1 and snoop to put Kid n play...come on son, we gotta do better than that.

[Dante95nyc]

@kdj997 I put ect at the end

[PS3xMedia]

@Dante95nyc big L should be in the golden age, his first album is an overlooked classic no doubt, he definately is one of the best of all time.

big pun should be in there too.

i know u miss some out but how can u miss big pun and big L out?

[semperfidelis3100]

@Dante95nyc I completely agree with you EXCEPT. You have to put Eminem down as the lost son who was meant to be in the Golden Age... you just have to...

[SwaggaLeo]

@Dante95nyc i call 1998-2005 the Ice Age

[KanyeBiggieTyga]

@Dante95nyc dont forget lil wayne..he destroyed rap...

[deSadetheImpaler]

@Dante95nyc I dont know if you came up with that yrself,but that shit's awesome !

[straven89]

@Dante95nyc 2006-2010 is more like the black plague tbh

[TheJewinator]

@Dante95nyc you don't even know rap if u dont mention big L or jay-z

[Dante95nyc]

@TheJewinator OMG can't you see I put ect at the end. I wasn't gonna put everyone like BDP,Jay Z,Wu Tang Clan,Big L,because I didn't have enough characters remaining,besides if you don't like my list than make your simple as that.

[TheJewinator]

@Dante95nyc yea i was really baked when i wrote that i thought i canceled it i saw the ect.. shortly after haha

[khalil387]

@Dante95nyc forgot jay-z nas and andre 3000 in silver but watev

[GameIsaBeast]

@Dante95nyc you have missed the best rapper alive today The Game and where is ice cube?

[Dante95nyc]

@GameIsaBeast I put ect for a reason

[bkstyle82]

@Dante95nyc when will we see the Renaissance/Rebirth?

[Dante95nyc]

@bkstyle82 When did the music finally industry realizes they keep feeding us shit.

[piercdbruh]

@Dante95nyc I had to give you a thumbs up on that one but did you mention Kid N Play in the same sentence as Biggie, Pac, LL, and Lyte?

[MultiCunta]

[tljones9]
