#679 LL Cool J – Mama Said Knock You Out

Posted on by anoceanroars

LL Cool J‘s critical and commercial successful album Mama Said Knock You Out was released in 1990. It was his fourth studio album. I know I will hate this because I hate hip hop and rap. There are a couple of exceptions, but only a couple. I think I have heard a song by LL Cool J before, but it was probably in 1990 or near it. The album was certified double platinum. The New York Times, Jon Pareles wrote that Cool J was “the most articulate of the homeboys”.

“Around the Way Girl” is the song I have heard before, but I did not like it then nor do I like it now. It is better than the hip hop artists that I heard recently. It is still better than anything from Will Smith. 5/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
