 Takes me back...Remember when Rap could be clean?!
Submitted on: 2009-07-07 |

I ordered this on a whim. I remember all of these songs from my youth and they all continue to hold up well. I have been blasting this on my car stereo on my commute off and on for the past month (and I forgot how much bass there was...my speakers may never recover!). Only "I can't live without my radio" seems dated, although it is grin inducing whenever I heard any mention of "casettes". Rap could push the envelope and be great while being curseword free. His rap was saucy as all rap is (the "...Big Ole Butt" and "doin it" songs will attest), but did so without being grotesque and profane. My only pet peeve was that although the record does not have an "explicit lyrics" sticker at least one slipped through, that is on "I'm Bad" you can clearly hear the MF word at one point. That was the only curseword that I can ever remember and that slippage is no worse that all the S... words on "Bananas" by Gwen Stefani that never earned a sticker either.
By far my favorite moments occur in the sublime song "Momma said knock you out". I love the absurd bombast of yelling "I think I'm gonna bomb a town!" everytime I hear it. |

| This CD I believe is filled with LL Cool J bests! From his beginning to more recent (but not too recent) stuff he's a very talented individual. The coolness of "Going back to Cali" to "Hey Lover" this cd has not only a few of my favorites but almost all of my favorites. I'd say this is definately a must have in your collection. |

The greatness of Uncle L is based on the first half of his career.

| The second half was hit or miss. But for the most part all of LL's biggest hits from the mid 80's to the mid 90's are here. |

 A Ten Year Span Of Greatest Hits (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars)

Not many people can have an excellent career like LL Cool J. From 1985 to 1995, Uncle L has really given us many rememerable jams for us to kick it with. From old school tracks like "Rock The Bells" and "I'm Bad", LL has proven why he is one of the best of the 80's & 90's. Back in 1990 when I was a kid, one of the first rap songs I heard was "Mama Said Knock You Out", and every time I play that song, it always bring back memories. "Back Seat Of My Jeep" is another classic single that I found to be one of my favorites from this album.
I do have a few guilty pleasures on this album. "Going Back To Cali" is one of them (possibly because of my love for that state). And the female songs like "Jingling Baby" the smooth "Hey Lover" is more that I had an enjoyment for. And the pop song that still gets play on the radio frequently "Loungin (Who Do You Luv Remix)" is another great addition. There are a few songs that are missing (just like almost every greatest hits album), like "Pink Cookies..." and "I'm That Type Of Guy", but I'm not going to sweat that. This album is still excellent for a ten year span of LL. If you're a fan of 80's and 90's rap, don't hesitate to pick this up here. I really started getting into him when he dropped "The G.O.A.T." and thought this CD would help me catch up with his earlier work. Now only if his most recent CD's were half as good as this here.
Peace!

Love LL

| I love LL. This CD brought back so many memories from back in the day. It's so hard to believe that LL has been in the game for so long and on top. This is a great compilation of his older tracks. |
