Biography

Born James Todd Smith on January 14, 1968, Ladies Love Cool James (LL Cool J) began his career in Queens, N.Y. when he was 16 years old, though he had been rapping since the age of nine. His grandfather bought him a mixing table and LL began to record tapes in his home. His father was [a907818]. Inevitably, he sent his tapes to various record labels and finally interested Def Jam Productions. In 1984 they signed him and released his first single, "I Need A Beat." The single sold more than 100,000 copies and established LL Cool J in the rap industry. His debut album, I Can't Live Without My Radio, (which went platinum) was recorded in 1985 after LL left high school to pursue a career in music. 1987 marked the release of his second album Bigger and Deffer, which soared to the No. 3 spot on the pop charts with the help of the hit single, "I Need Love". LL's ability to intuitively combine rap and pop is his strong point, but at the same time it has cost him the respect of many rap fans who claimed he has a sold out. The successful single, "Goin' Back to Cali," appeared on the Less Than Zero soundtrack in 1988, further boosting his crossover popularity. In 1990 LL struck again with Mama Said Knock You Out, which marked him as a rap super-guru and pop deity. After this ascension, he starred in two movies and appeared and performed at the MTV Inaugural Ball in honor of President Clinton. He released 14 Shots to the Dome in 1993. LL returned to the studio to record the double platinum album Mr. Smith in 1995. Throughout the mid-90s, LL continued to branch out into acting, taking roles in films such as Woo, Halloween: H20, and the Oliver Stone football opus Any Given Sunday. During this time, he released All World: Greatest Hits (1996) and Phenomenon (1997), an album that did not do well commercially or critically as it appeared LL was more interested in Hollywood than the hip-hop scene. LL confirmed his attraction to acting over the next few years, taking a small part in 2000’s Charlie’s Angels and then scoring a starring role in the 2002 remake of Rollerball. In between, he found time to release G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time), a self-assured collection that highlighted LL’s classic lyrical flow and gave him some much-needed cred in the ever-changing rap landscape. With his 2002 release, 10, LL reaffirms the strength of his position in the popular culture of music. “I consider this disc to be a milestone in my life,” says LL Cool J. “A tenth album for anybody is truly an amazing moment.” While the world of hip-hop has not, historically, provided much stability or staying power for the artists that shaped it, LL Cool J has managed to take a stand within it, combining rap and pop influences that appeal to both realms.

LYRICS

Do you remember first time you heard the legend in leather?
The career ender with the road-killer stuck to his fender
I'm on another bender, drunk off the power
That make a coward surrender as I devour contenders
Talkin' foul of whoever, your head is 'bout to get severed
Then I bounce it with pleasure, I'm pouring out Amaretto
Homies, I won't forgеt 'em, so tap the bottle and pour it
Supermodels I ignore 'em, later on it's like porn
Reincarnation of the Ripper, I give stitches and chest zippers
Cinderella's get propellered out their glass slippers
Time is tickin', giving ass whoppin's how we keep the cash flippin'

What? A supa-dupa switch up (What?)
I can't understand a single word you're saying
I think you have syrup brain
'Bout to finish you like polyurethane (Huh)
All that molly probably sure to drain your spinal fluid from your vertebrae
This the Murdergram and I brought my murder game
My shit fire, that is why you log on it like Duraflame
But as far as boulevards, I'm talking 'bout Farmers like insurance claims (Pff)
I just blew your girl away, but she on so much blow and lean (What?)
I call that fucking ho Katrina, somebody better give her a cane

And that's on everything (What?), she love my heavy chain
My yellow diamond shining, got her whipping like lemon meringue
Stripping in front of the gang, she's slipping inside of the Range
Quick to go out with a bang, it's like I threw out a grenade
Once you pull the pin, that's when the killing will begin
You feel me pulling off your skin, I really came to get it and deliver
Murdergrams, turn over your ambulance, thirty bullets in advance
Candlelight and crying fans, we gon' win it by a land-slide up behind you, testing my rifle
Give blessings to my disciples, professional I'm a sniper
Like eight miles away, me and Marshall doing murders
With dirty burners, break them down and melt them in the furnace

Unapologetic and we're gonna cause a headache
Me and L about to set it, we about to murdergram it
Anyone of y'all can get it, so you might as well forget it
Either way you will regret it, cemetery’s where you're headed
Come on! (Yeah)

The message in the chorus, you bastards got nothing for us
The overlord is the rawest
I ain't talkin' 'bout a rental car when I'm pullin' the Taurus
This Halloween them candy bars'll get you killed in the forest
We are lyrically lawless, stackin' money, hoarders
Slugs that make you forget all that slick-ass shit that you thought of
Blow your mind with the sawed off
Just when you thought it was safe, we bustin' at you from the Wraith
Then hittin' a donut, ain’t nothin' sweet when we come in to play

When I say that you ain't fuckin' with moi
I do not mean kisses blew, but I got the potential to
Fuckin' flip when I'm mentioned with a penchant to (What?)
Come back with a vengeance like Jack the Ripper
To rip it, just givin' you a sample, a fuckin' snippet (Snip it), like scissors do
Now when I hit the booth, I think of the days of old when I was quick to fool
Used to fly off the handle like a fuckin' witch's broom
I called it pluckin' flowers 'cause I was so quick to pick a tool up (Click-click)
Like it's petunias, sick medulla, but thanks to COOL J, he created a monster (What? Yeah!)
Spaghetti sauce and mozzarella on a tray full of pasta (What?)
You got a couple of motherfuckin' trained killers on ya (Trained kill-lasagna's)
And I'm just bein' as frank as Sinatra (Haha)
When I be sayin' that I'ma keep this shit gangster as mobsters (What?)
But when you got fanatics goin' so crazy, they mob ya
Lookin' like organized crime because you can't get 'em off ya (Mafia)
And all your motherfuckin' enemies, they wanna off ya, like Hoffa
And dump your body in Lake Minnetonka (Shhh)
That's how you know you fuckin' saw, and you came, and you conquered
Veni, vidi, vici, stompin' and makin' 'em bonkers
Now women treat me like B.D.K. (Kane), the king, and they feed me grapes (Yeah)
Either way, I got more on my plate than an all you can eat buffet (Woo)
So better pick a B.C. date 'cause your history is shady (Yeah, set)
As they 'bout to set it on you like a TV tray (Haha, yup)
Man, I see the way people say I'm so evil (What?)
They fuckin' think that Timothy McVeigh and my DNA are exactly the same
But when I leave this game (Nope)
Things just ain't gonna be the same (Nah)
But it's in need of change (Yeah), and I'm the meter maid (Haha)
Go ahead and crack a bottle, 'cause this is E and J
Meaning me and James (Yeah)
Got that avocado and we the sociopaths
And we got your ho on our laps
And we're goin' back to Cali so she can blow on our sax (-sacks)

Brang-brang, brr-brr-brr-brrr, brr-brring
I don't think so
