LL Cool J defined an entire era of hip-hop, but how well does his massive discography hold up today? In this episode of 50 For 50, Mike Joseph and Garrett Gonzales take a deep dive into the career of the G.O.A.T., from the early Def Jam days to his biggest commercial hits.
We kick things off with a high-stakes round of "Rock With It, Stop With It." We’re putting LL’s most debated tracks under the microscope—from the controversial "Accidental Racist" to the smooth (and maybe overplayed?) "Luv U Better" and the classic "Big Ole Butt." Is it a skip, or is it a classic?
Then, the main event: The LL Cool J Top 5. We’re debating the tracks that defined our generation. Does "Mama Said Knock You Out" take the #1 spot, or do "Doin’ It" and "Around The Way Girl" prove that LL was the king of the hip-hop ballad? Join the conversation and see if our list matches yours.
