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

no

no

I’m here

Yup

Right tf here!!!! 9-1-2024 😎😎😎😎😎

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

You throwing it away

both CLASSICS

@@dorinacoleman7799 ohhh did they really?

Amen

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.

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

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

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

50 years old here and still playing this!!!!! 🔥

80s was sublime homie

Man definitely would give anything to go back

Me too. Lol

Me too

Me too Broseph. Me too.

Where can I watch the Last Dance??

@@ingonitojones4252 ESPN

Got to be

Marcus Thomas Debatable

Far from Top 10

He's a GOAT!

@@MrsMelMel1977 There can be only one GOAT

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

This shit still 🔥

40 years later still holding strong. lyrics still pure gold.

Say it loud

Cornball

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

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

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.

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

🔥 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🔥🔥

+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.

Certainly one of the truest. Temptation pushes us all

@@alphaomega8373 What do you mean?

No doubt🎯

Str8 up

Oh, baby boomer

Ioqkooqkmqi91mo91k1mo91k91k91kiiwm

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

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

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

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

Agreed my second is New York New York by Dogg pound

Yep!!!!! I'll testify to that!

@@rodbold7674 Ha fuck that LA LA destroyed it

@@jefffishkin5162 doesn’t explain why New York New York is more popular

Of Rap it's self!

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

Who 👀 👁 owl 2:40

Ong, this is how you put it down

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

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 !!

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 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

Ronnie Moore bruh 💪🏽

The L.A. Posse destroyed this.

It creeps like a panther stalking at night.

Yes sir, still a bop 35 years later

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!)

Word .

Me too 1987

My best friends n I were just born n "87"

Ditto that, I remember seeing this on Friday night videos and knew I had to get to the record store asap! 😂

I was in 1st ♥

Woow

Real talk

There are so many kinds of rap at this now, if you think rap is based solely around demeaning thuggish individuals who call women bitches, you don't know rap.

Juan lak I have been listening to hip hop far before you and like I said that is what rap songs today are based around. Only a small few can deliver a positive message now step back before I break out the cardboard and send you home

I guess you're right, only a few can deliver a positive message. And you're not one of them

Maaan

On god I was like how have I never heard this before and I’m and 80s music fanatic smh

Hopefully it can bring back real hip- hop . Not today’s garbage with materialism and drugs . Say no to drugs , kids

@@kiwan987 are u serious??? U had to know of this if you listened to 80s music...LL was a MADE man when this came out...

andre baker right

Me too

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

Me too! Raps that actually told a story👍🔥

Yeah

Don't call it a comeback!

You can’t be serious he’s the blueprint for every rapper that came after him

I wonder what he thought of n.w.a at the time?🤔

If LL is underrated Kool Moe Dee is more underrated

You got a future

Im also 43. The entertainment was dope back then!

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

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

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.

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

Ur learning son my son is a year older than u and I taught him dis era and he loves it and thanks mii n as a mom I’m proud of you guys keep it up young man!

@@shaylalove9877 yeah I'm 13 and I love this music

Glad you young ones are keeping it going and showing appreciation!

I’m with you✊🏼he’s my favorite.

My baby daddy love Ll Swint Dog Joseph Swint JR

We grew up in a great time my friend. I'm here jamming LL while watching breakin 2 electric boogaloo lol.

legendary

Who's fat?

@@baxtronx5972Weird Al 😂

YESSS!!!

"My vocals zig zag like a rack and pinion in a Jag!" Dude knew what he was talking about. Sporting a Jag in that era demonstrated that you made it! Timeless! One of One!

In my opinion the Brooklyn Drill beat is really cool in this generation and some of the new rappers have Brooklyn Drill beats in their lyrics fr

Hell, im a millennial even our parents too

Geez. Everyone forgot ab Millineals. I guess we’re the new Gen X smh

As a Gen Z'er born in '04, my parents definitely know who he is. Lol!

Ppppp

Him and rakim

💯💯💯 And Lyrics is Fiyah after All these Years

@LikeNobodii a single bar in this song is better than any whole mumble rap song, but quote a better mumble rap bar and prove me wrong.

@LikeNobodii yes it does...

@@hule1186 Nope.

@@silva_j3080 stay in ya lane....yep

@@hule1186 Not all new school rappers have to mumble dumbass. 🤦

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!!!

Exactly & facts!!

Can i have fun too plz $$

Not some times but all the time.

Still got THE energy.

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

@HOSTILE MGTOW facts!

"My tongue's a chisel in this competition sculpture"... his metaphors were lit.

LL is the GOAT

After he claims he'd never retire or put his mic on the shelf

@@c.moriarty1178 LL is a legendary dude

The LakeShow prime? I think that happened at mr smith. He was still rising here.

Them 💋 tho😂😍🥰

Listen to him destroy KoolMoeD , 1st rap beef ever

62 years old from the South Bronx, lived there in the 70's nothing but clean rap bro. Nuyorican.

56 and wore this tape out in my 69 Camaro back then . Only non metal tape I owned Rock on sister!

You're bad

I'm 30!

The energy elbow. Was super saiyan

He was 18. What you expect?

@@Jame6999 There are people in there 30s with high energy

💯💯💯

And dance

Real talk

LL’s just the whole package; bars, moves, and looks.

Rocket k Damn look who called it

U called it bro

@@stefanjovanovic7491 you know he is!

LL is a bad boy ! The man, the myth, the legend!

@@rocketk1442 they said u called it because they used this song forthe michael jordan documentary on netflix haha , good call.

This was LL's equivalent to Michael Jackson's Thriller (video) .

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.

That’s not true at all. If everyone had their own style, we wouldn’t be able to identify either as 80s or 90s rap. The fact that I can hear a song and assume it’s from the 80s means there was general sound that many from that time shared

That's what I tell the young people these days,creativity was in full effect.80's-90's

Same with the 2000s

This video is good

0 😊Nox

Man I did the same thing😂😂😂😂😂

​@@BaileyHale-x2rherd😂🎉❤ 4:41

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

THAT IS DEEP NEVER HEARD A LINE LIKE THAT JHEEZ!

logic and lil dicky is good tho

Nigga said "some"

He put in work. ha

hah

😘

He looks even better now

@@aprilleerose It's crazy he was only 18 or 19 in this music video

Real fine....

+Da Author Nonsense! The best songs are on the "Radio" album.

That's your opinion.

Da Author That's right. It's just my opinion.

Ours was a masculine, protective SWAG. You felt that shit. Today...these boys seem kinda...well.....fruity and sedated by lean n pills.

DLX MYSTIK lol niggas was rocking curls and glitter jackets and boots you don’t find that fruity? Lol not everyone dressed like LL

Right tryna be white

Yea, but blame THE PARENTS from THAT era that are raising the kids that you speak of in THIS era. If it was so great back then, then howcome it didn't rub off on your kids and/or why didn't y'all just raise them the same way too?? You can't blame the kids without also blaming the parents. It's not thier fault. They were just raised to be this way, or just raised to be however they turned out to be the way that they currently are right now. Y'all are complaining about how the kids are today, when it was y'all who raised them. But everyone would just rather point fingers instead of just owning up to the problem tbh. And you know I'm right.

RJ Bell he changed the game

Add Rakim as well.

No

LL and KRS have lost ALLLLL CREDIBILITY 😢😢😢😢

For me it’s gotta be nas but LL is definitely a valid argument

This song was what inspired Eminem to start rapping. LL even gave Em the chain he was wearing in this video when they met.

Shitting me.lil wayne is more lyrical with a catalog to match

Ll cool j is the original goat before 2pac biggie Jay z

@@deshayblackman7827 waynes catalog is the same shit. He doesnt have the versatility

There is a lot of lost arts in hip hop today

The scratching on this song is all done by DJ Bobcat from the L.A. Posse. Russell Simmons brought them from L.A. to work with LL and the rest is history.
