10 [PA] - LL Cool J

Advantages: One of L.L Cool J's best albums
Disadvantages: a few dead tracks

...BAD-Bigger And Deffer Release Date: 10/17/1987 Tracks: 12 Length: 00:45:13 Hrs Label: Sony Type: CD,CS Genre/Styles Old Skool Hip-Hop, East Coast Rap L.L Cool J "Ladies Love Cool James" was born James Todd Smith III. Cool J is a rap artist who started his career back in the early days of Hip-Hop which is where my interest lies. This was the second album release by L.L after Radio released in 1985. Being released 2 years later meant that adequate time would be given in making a great album and still in the right time zone to ensure an old Skool style. The Tracks 1. I'm Bad 2. Kanday 3. Get Down 4. Bristol Hotel, The 5. My Rhyme Ain't Done 6. 357 - (with Break It On Down) 7. Go Cut Creator Go 8. Breakthrough, The 9. I Need Love 10. Ahh, Let's Get Ill 11. Do Wop, The 12.

Advantages: smooth grooves from a modern rapper
Disadvantages: not every track is up to scratch

...This album is good if you like modern rnb and rap with good vocals. There are a couple of really good tracks on here and they kind of make up for the rest of the album which isn't fantastic although it takes some getting in to like most albums. He's not very original, quite mainstream but talented and this album shows exactly that. I would only advise that you buy this album if you're really into this kind of music. Ashanti makes an appearnace fo one of the singles from the album which is probably the best track but has been spoilt by airplay. There's also another version of the same song but with the original vocalist. Buy if you like LL Cool J.... Read review
