LL COOL J - I'm Bad (Official Music Video) 

no

no

I’m here

Yup

Right tf here!!!! 9-1-2024 😎😎😎😎😎

Oronde Kairi I am crying 😂😂😂😂 I never saw it that way

lmao kinda reminds me of michael jacksons smooth criminal video, he spend all that time busting out smooth moves and asking anne if she is ok rather then saving her, like bruh anne aint ok she about to die lol

Stupid funny!🤣🤣

Gotta Gold Nameplate that says I wish you would $$

Oronde Kairi 🤣🤣🤣

Watch from chicago as they had who kill Michael Jackson wow ... 🎱

You throwing it away

both CLASSICS

@@dorinacoleman7799 ohhh did they really?

Amen

That aged well and so did he❤❤❤❤

And he does lol

Keith on the progressive commercial proves this! Remember when many a parking lot back then would have some guy selling thick fake gold rope necklaces for $30 for the look haha

One of the best metaphors of rap history!

I read this the moment he said it in the song. Super weird lol

Sorin DeBarge yea pay for my ticket too

@@dulciegreen6693 I am starting saving Money...

Naw son the 90s is where it's at

Make sure you dont get Jerry curl juice in your eye.

ME. I HATE THE CRAP RAP HERE!!!

Same here lad

She kicked me out the house because of it

She sounds delightful. Is she married?

@@davey70dave I’ll put in a good word

😳..😜😝😝lol..

Less is more. Kane frequently did the same thing.

Plenty of rappers from that era could rap without using profanity. Even some of the most vulgar rappers such as Too $hort and Eazy E either had clean songs or clean versions of their profanity laced songs.

I read where his grandmother heard him rapping one day and asked him if he could do it without curse words.

rappers today are imitators and not innovators. Plus LL, can drop rymes cause he can actually control his pitch naturally. these days auto tone is used by all rappers.

And the way that he said mutherfucker just blended so well with the song and had so much impact

He was 18 when this dropped💯16 when he dropped I need a beat(84) and I cant live without my radio album in 85 17✅️💯

Great memories. I was about the same age as you class of 88' I cant live without my radio came out and Im Bad ..It was the shit and still is.

@@deancloud1327Class of 88’ here as well, those were the days in high school when this came out not to mention the house parties during summer vacation. 😎✌🏾👊🏾

@@Akumaa2000 😎👊

catfish poacher? oh vulture... haha, never knew he said compositions sculpture

In this he says, "Kamikaze, take a look at what I've done". Em says that in his song Kamikaze on the album lmao. Not mtbmb but Kamikaze

High Hopes 93? Right?

This song was fire at the night clubs every one hit the floor

He references ll alot almost as much as Pac or Biggie. He talks about him very highly throughout several albums. I loved the format of the walk on water mention.

He's OG GODFATHER.

Blew the windows out of my car with boomin system,4 amps 24 12 inch woofers in my 77 Nova. 48 years old and still kicking it to the real music.

Yes LL is definitely a legend.

@@seanhughes9191 haha truth! blew out my 15 inch fosgates to booming system, im 45 and still trying to.blow these stock speakers out on this bitch lol!

@Ken Sharp Rakim, Grandmaster Caz

I am.

Me!🙋‍♀️

I am but your comment is cringe “gOoD tAStE” CRINGE

@@stevenrogerman2110 saying cringe is cringe

RobinFlysHigh CRINGE

I had this album on cassette and this is still my favorite line ever. Cool j cookies all day!!!

I've played this song several times for my nieces, nephews, and granddaughters that are all under ten years old and stressed that line. Maybe a couple of days after I had played it for them late last year, one of my sisters posted on Facebook that her five year old son gave her some oreo cookies. Needless to say, he got scolded by me about that. But what can I say? He's bad!!!

Certainly one of the truest. Temptation pushes us all

@@alphaomega8373 What do you mean?

No doubt🎯

Str8 up

Oh, baby boomer

Yup lol

Heard this last night and was like I must bump this while I'm working tomorrow 😂🤣🤣

Yo someone needs to upload that edit it went hard🔥🔥

🆑😂

🙋🏽‍♂️can’t even lie that shit was on point

+Arthur Lockley He did name one of his albums "G.O.A.T." With songs like this it's hard to deny.

+TheCrypticKnight I think LL Cool J, Eminem, and Jay Z are among the best rappers, they're not the best but they are included in the list. Dr.Dre is more of a producer than a rapper most of his stuff was ghost written for him. on "Still D.R.E" his verse was written for him by Jay Z. So i really don't think you putting in Dre on that list will be effective lol. Don't get me wrong Dre's voice is suitable for hip hop, but in terms of rapping he doesn't write his own stuff but he's a great producer.

+cartoonworld1000 and Kanye wrote for Jay Z. Its plenty of ghost writers. Drake has ghost written also. We just get blessed when they finally get a chance at the mic

+Tamara Whitney exactly!

+TheCrypticKnight Seems like a typical 16 y/o white kid list.

Goat!

FACTS, This when Stories were told and thought was put into the song. LL always gave us good music and lyrics and DOPE ASS BEATS!!1

omg, looked for this comment. Was completely stunned when I heard it in the video

Thats what brought me here.

Someone needs to upload that clip. Great editing.

That montage was great

Word up

It's normal . New generation rappers 95% of them garbage af

🤣

Can almost guarantee you haven’t even given a try to even understand what Mumble rappers main intention behind their music is or the fact that new school has a far better underground scene

@@cjl-uda4048 They just try to rip the triplet flow from old school Memphis and the same spaced out effect from Texas chop and screw and still fail miserably

The mumblers come from a dumbed down generation/society , they can't read or write .

Me too. Lol

Me too

Me too Broseph. Me too.

Where can I watch the Last Dance??

@@ingonitojones4252 ESPN

There’s like 50 new-school rappers I can name off the top of my head that are better than him, just stop with the oldhead shit and disrespecting new-school rap

@@cjl-uda4048 name em then

BustaNutzz 5150 Logic or Joyner Lucas?

@Da Bears none of those are as good as this song

Swirly derp a lot of people could make a rap like this is just no one likes it so it won’t get attention so this style died

yup!!

real talk...youngsters should learn from him...

+Walder Ross not the only mc, i can think of a lot. the most famous one I can think of is Eminem. He reinvented himself so many times, his style changes every album and he has always been successful.

Andre 3K

+ChaseKayzer - Gaming i like "em" a lot..but i mean on a much broader level than that.Mr. Mathers has been rapping about as much as ten years or mabe 15..im not sure he was even born in 1984.(that's how long "L" has been doing this.not to even mention movies and plenty of tv series..all hits.they shouldnt even be compared to each other..totally different generations.

Mike Flay

LL is a real dude stayed true to his label instead of signing with another label for more $$

+Tony Micel He was the first with Russell and Rick from the beginning.

mine is big L's "nigga named Dex, was in the projects layin threats I jumped out the Lincoln, left him stinkin Put his brains in the street Now you can see what he was just thinkin I'm chokin enemies til they start turnin pale Satan said I'm learnin well, Big L's gonna burn in"

he didn't say that

🔥 now that 🔥 turns on 🔥

LL was badass even at 16... Saw him live a grip as a kiddo myself...

Huh???

They call me Jaws, my head is like a sharks fin..

Oreos eat cool j cookies🔥🔥

Khari While also eating it...LL is the only one who can squash a jelly bean and eat it at the same damn time.😂

man!! they don't understand how great LL was back then! like sheeeeeeshhhh!!! he MURKED this rhyme for real!! miss these time. the 80/90's were the greatest and hardest decades of all times lol ;) miss this music!!!

Technically it's just rap music

@@beebeethagoddess761 Hell yeah! Nobody didnt know who he was nor not have a tape even us rockers. Catchy tunes, original style fun, upbeat could jam to it. Not like the hate garbage out today

@@Blxuu Hes the OG...this music got everyones attention back then it got kicked off into mainstream immediately

Makia Humfree He did curse, though...

FrankWonderBeantown they bleeped with the car sound

Rabi M Only for the video. If you listen to it on the album, he curses.

How come that the same year (1987) Michael Jackson released his bad album? 😂They must have copied each other

Yes so true

Yeah really dope

One of the pioneers of rap and maybe the first successful teen rapper.

Word.

He still is a star I'm not sure which one he plays in but it's one of those detectives series

@@dr.johnettemason9044 he Stars in NCIS

Bass line is fire! Kind of sounds something like the "Corageous Cat and Minute Mouse Theme" bass line, but in a lower key - check it out for yourself. (Dang - I just gave away my age... lol!)

Ioqkooqkmqi91mo91k1mo91k91k91kiiwm

Exactly

Some real deal battle rhymes

One of the most fire verses of all time..

"I'm the baddest taking out all rookies so forget oreos eat cool j cookies...im baddd"

ll cool j I'm bad

“I Ain’t Met A Muthafucka Who Can Do That Yet!” He did cuss

There's never profanities or naked females for anything that's nationally televised on basic cable channels as this video was. But there were some naked women back then. You just had to know where to find it since there was obviously no internet back then. There was also plenty of profanity back then too, including a little in this song. You just had to have the cassettes.

This was one of those songs I recorded by waiting for it to b on the radio, to hold my tape deck to the speaker while it played. Then took THat tape, and put in a boom box with a double tape deck, to make a mix tape. THAT mix tape had this Guns N Rose's, RunDMC, Sir Mix Alot, (beepers) Weird AL, my favorite show intros (transformers, GI Joe, pee wees Playhouse,) being a kid was so fun back then

​@@BigCeezaro ok well it's not every other line

Now I'm going to agree and disagree I agree the sisters weren't naked I disagree with the no profanity because in his first stanza he said mother effer and I am paraphrasing so not to break you tube rules third point he had Boris beats and lyrical excellency

Me too

Facts. It's November 2019 and I'm here bumping this 🔥

Me too! Raps that actually told a story👍🔥

@@noloveinward5780 no... 🤦

Me too!

@Gms ChariotsOfWar i tell ya, dudes came up with all kinds of variations of that walk, lol LL the pioneer!

Who 👀 👁 owl 2:40

I can, I had just put my new system in with 2-12 in subs when this came out. LL still owes me a new windshield. : ) Shit I guess Im old.

@@schinbone0 me too it was my jam!

@@Gorgeouscorliss This and Mama said knock you out, oh shit. Two of the best ever, IMO.

Why do you think Eminem has the utmost respect for James Todd

LL Cool j had the best flows in rhyme schemes back in the day no one could touch him and for Eminem to study ll's flow patterns and schemes that tells you he was raining supreme. Mia

He was the best in the game when this came out people forgot him and Pac even went at it for a bit

The best to ever do it !!!!

Mama said knock you out

No doubt!

Bro. Never knew he was so dope

Did you see him live on American Bandstand. I was glued to the tube.

This song and his cameo on Crush Grooven

You old asf lol

Me too

@@sirepledge6808 😂😂😂

80s was sublime homie

Man definitely would give anything to go back

It was much better!

This kid don't look back I'm bad mother fucker

Umm... first verse: You think you can outrhyme me, yeah boy I bet cause I ain't met a mutha****** that can do that yet.

Giga Blaster you don’t know a damn thing fool lmao

He used the word motherf.....:)

Seriously! He's really did

If he is talking about this version of the song he is right because you don't hear L say bad MF the tires is what you hear

I feel ya, cruising my senior year of HS rockin LL.... ouch So epic though, not going to say todays music or artist suck or rip offs since at this point all music just in a way a rehash of something from the past done with the current day artist twist on it and really to me art is art and is a matter of taste. But seriously though Justine Beebers?? what is she so good at to be famous compaired to stuff like this?? LOL

BillyBlaze22 òi

Kim Wright be proud of your age and Era, clean hip hop not one curse word.

to MadeMan. Um actually your statement is categorically false. I bought this album on vinyl in the 80s, the song actually has a curse word around the :45 sec mark (when you hear the "car" overdub in the background to mask the word for censorship). Listen to the ORIGINAL version. cheers

Funny you said that because around the same time MJ song came out with the same title ✌

Man LL was a force of nature in the Rap game during his day.

Ll is an hip hop legend. The only rapper to host the Grammys 2 times. Host Country music awards and other major Events. Any Rap fan who doesn't know Cool J isn't a true rap fan.

Bruh the rappers that talked that shit on the mic and dissed LL are in pine boxes, career dead and stankn. When it came to rap beef, that man was undefeated, and undisputed. Meaning there careers are over after facing him.......he's going to be worshipped like an old battleship on Daytime tv lol

LL was hard alot of people stepped him and stomped them down

Actually top two and he not two !!

Nomadic Conquistador 7-5-3 he cussed in this video

he said muthaphaka

As always, it's not just what you do, but how you do it. He did cuss when he said motherfucker at 0:40 & I'll treat you like a stepchild, so tell mommy bye bye at 3:45 But his point is made, as to say that the track isn't completely fueled by vulgarity & misogyny. One line was vulgar, one bar had a misogynistic tone; and it was done (perhaps) as tactful as possible, while maintaining the arrogant confidence of the overall theme. Dude is bad.... you could never deny his talent or skill.

This is mumble rap without mumbling and well made, because he's basically saying "i'm badass" all the song.

【 Chilael 】 well he is ,so he’s just spewing facts

This the comment I was looking for....

That's how songs used to be, 3-4 verses with hooks between. Because they were in a studio with actual producers and engineers making SONGS. Today anybody can whip up a beat and record whatever and put it on RU-vid by themselves. I'm not hating, music is supposed to evolve or whatever but it's definitely weird to me hearing songs that don't follow a normal kinda format.... and 3 minutes is long now, I hate these little 2 minute songs. Like King Von's "Wayne's Story"..... the song is dope, but right when it's getting good it's over. Like that shit should've been twice as long. I miss full length songs.

can you explain how ll cool j impacted the music culture in those times?

Agreed...Greatest rap song ever

​​@@glockz4940he was so frickin sexy and strong. Probably still is! To embellish, he has more than base, he has baseline melodies

Got that right

Better believe it my young one ..😂😂😂😂

@D-Tae' Im glad you know. Now tell a friend!!!

Definitely . LL is definitely one of the GOAT. The beat is crazy and u actually can understand him🤣

Me too. But LL just had too many hot barz to not give it some play.

True story

Yeah he was Jesus for like a week after I saw this video

True

His rhyme structure was ahead of his time. Not as advanced as Biggie, who obviously took it to another level, but he was a step above the NYC MCs at the time.

Exactly

And he's a good actor too.You seen Deep Blue Sea? Damn shark killed his parrot,man. NCIS LA. Is a great show aswell.LLCoolJ never fell off. He's bigger and stronger than ever.He knows some sort of martial arts too.Did you see when he beat the shit out of that fool that broke into his house?.Lol

Bear Major, LL took notes from Run from Run Dmc. He just added a little more swag to it.

Yaaaaassss! Lol! 😍😍😍😍😍
