LL COOL J - Mama Said Knock You Out (Official Music Video) 

Who’s here because they actually just wanted to listen to this song

"Don't call it a comeback"....... so simple yet so brilliant introduction..

Just watched an LL COOL J documentary. After he wrote the song "I need love" he was heavily scrutinized and criticised in the industry from 87-90 with that track. He went to his grandmother for guidance and council. She told him "Todd, go to the basement and write a song, and knock 'em out" This was the response he took from those words from her about his treatment in the industry at the time.

The energy of this track was always ridiculous!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is my “kicking cancer to the curb” song. I listened to it at every single chemo session.

No curse words, but still raw as hell. Just a classic.

Who’s still bumping this shit in 2024 💪🏿

TeamLH were you at?

I love how he could show aggression without swearing, you have to be good to be this credible

Goosebumps were all over when this song blended with bumblebee 's entry

R.I.P.❤to his beloved Grandma🩷,who did that cameo in his video, I imagine she was his inspiration and champion 👍🏽

Happy Mother’s Day Everyone

“Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years” -sums up LL’s career, man’s a legend, always will be

You tube is the closest thing to a time machine that we will ever have

LL Cool J kept it real and knocked it out of the park. You can feel the intensity and conviction in his voice. He is a real OG. One of the greats.

2024. Who's still wit dis?? 🔥🔥

The energy in his voice is incredible

Me: I'm being bullied Mom's advice: Just ignore it, it'll go away Dad's advice:

👇 who still here in 2024

Who's here after Lewis wins the British GrandPrix 🇬🇧

Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.

No cussing just rapping. And I can understand what he saying.

He went fucking crazy

You can apply this song to every aspect of your life. Such as fighting a disease, exercising or pursuing a career. There is no challenge you can't overcome!

That energy and aggressiveness. That's what's missing in today's Hip Hop.

The ultimate hype song.

If Mum gives you permission then there is no holding back.

No swearing. No N word. You HAVE to be good to do this!!

Wish hip hop was Still like this

My mom: just ignore them LL’s mom: knock him out

Cant deny he went hard. Then. Now. Forever. Yall remember why he made this record? The rest of the rappers thought he was soft cause he was rappin to the ladies. Nice knockout

I like how this song and video are iconically tough and aggressive, and yet...not an obscene word or phrase to be found.

2024 anyone ?

Who else wants this as their entrance song for almost everything in their lives? Show of hands. 👋

One of the most iconic first lines of any hip-hop song ever. _Don't call it a comeback!_

God that scene made the whole theater cheer, best part of the film easily

An absolute hip-hop classic and still one of the hardest tracks around! LL Cool J literally knocked this one out!

This man doesn’t need the n word for his raps to be terrifyingly good.

That first line is iconic

3:48 “I gotta thank God, for HE Gave me the strength to rock HARD!” - Thank You ABBA Father
