Reviews (page 4 of 8)
Not my thing but I recognise the talent.
Had this album back in the day. Hasn't aged all that well.
Really fun despite some very cringey lyrics
No thank you. Filling a gap between 80's gangsta rap and before the explosion of east cost vs west coast rap of the late 90's this was a bad time for rap. Beats lack variety, lyrics aren't sure what they want to be.
Pretty good.
Me ha entretenido pero no logro destacar ningún tema en particular.
When my (very white) dad was a teenager he wrote down the lyrics of the title song on a piece of paper so he could rap them to himself whenever he wanted and thought that made him cool. How sad.
Really? I don't understand how it can be an album I should listen before I die. Is it cohesive? Well, yes, but it's so long that starts to become boring at some point. Is it fun? I would say... It could? I don't get the fun of hip-hop, of the lyrics or whatever is fun here, but I'm not going to judge. I don't like hip-hop at all, and that's just me. Is it the problem here? I'm pretty sure, but it doesn't change the fact that this album is just like much more of the same hip-hop has been about. Sonically, it's not interesting, it doesn't explore anything else than LL Cool J singing over samples, simple melodies and a rhythm base, which is the main thing about hip-hop... So, what's the interest here? I guess you have to like it, but, again, I don't like this stuff.
This is a 3.5 for me, but I can't round up to 4. I just think there are too many other great classic hip-hop albums. This one feels like it sits in an awkward phase where it lacks a lot of the fun and personality of the early hip-hop but also doesn't have the refinement of the later stuff.
Not bad, but not my cup of rap. Not enough variation
It’s ironic that LL Cool J raps about people calling his lyrics corny because I was thinking the same thing on a lot of these songs. I like old school rap but some of these songs are just dumb. The ones that work, work great though so overall, pretty decent.
A bit dated but not horrible. 3stars
Not available on apple. No hardship though, I think I can live without this.
More rap. Better than most. Rap I more about the lyrics than the music. Just don’t identify with the genre.
Rating: 3.1 LL Cool J is such a cultural institution at this point (not quite to the point of Ice Cube or Snoop Dogg or whatever) but I think his music is getting less and less praise with time compared to his peers and I feel like that’s not necessarily fair. He had some pretty weird misses (Milky Cereal wtf) but I felt most of this album was appropriately bombastic, very easy to follow lyrically (maybe less talking about killing people would be nice but that comes with the territory) and had a varied beat selection that gave birth to one iconic song (Title Track) and almost 10 good ones.
Absolutely no world in which this is a must listen. A part of me wants to applaud this album just for being so early in the development of the genre, but there are just so many other hip hop albums from the same year and even earlier that have aged so much better than this. It might have been something special at the time, but now it's completely dated and uninteresting.
uma tentativa de ser old school, e conseguindo nos piores aspectos possíveis o som até vai, mas as letras.......... meu deus
??????????????? DO NADA O MANO LANÇA AS PIOR LETRA DO MUNDO QUE ISSO, pelo menos são poucas partes horríveis!! mas os beats e samples tão em dia, pelo menos. 6 minutes of pleasure é bem boa, na real, mas é isso só
I wanted to like this. The man is fiiinne and the title track is a good time. But the longer this album went on the less I could ignore that he’s an awkward rapper. The album is too long and the quality of the tracks gets worse as it goes on.
Have you guys heard the Z-trip mix of Mama Said Knock You Out which features a mash up of Rock and Roll is Dead by Lenny Kravitz? Queue that up when you finish this album.
Day 42 This was fine as background music, not one I’m likely to revisit 4/10 Highlights Mr Good Bar Mama Said Knock You Out
Rap...
Hell yeah dude, some 90s rap!
Solid early hip hop. Only knew one song, kinda raunchy, which I forgot he had the reputation for.
Ladies may well love cool James, but I don’t. It’s like Will Smith found out about sex and some almost rude words and wanted to make a record but wasn’t quite brave enough. Humdrum, pedestrian hippity-hop that hangs around far too long.
Definitively his best album. A real great variety of diferent types of rap songs, hardcore, love, r&b, funky. Kind of like he covered all the bases. The gansta songs are raw and powerful. He shows his control over slow and fast beats and shows he cam donwhatever needed at that recording studio.
This album really feels like the transition from 80s hip hop to 90s rap. Some songs really blend the two styles, others go one way or another. I'm not upset that I listened to this, I just don't think I will ever need to ever again, and I'm not so sure I had to listen to this before I died.
This ain't it fam
Old skool rap - better than I expected.
Started listening to it and then thought: what’s the point?
Classic hip-hop.
some absolute great, some absolute cringe. 3
Decent album.
Some of it was pretty good but now I'm just anxious LL Cool J is going to steal my girl.
mama said this is cool 4 / 5
7/10
I can see why the Ladies Loved Cool J. corny as hell but it still has its place in this time. Its right at the turning point of the sillier fun rap that turned into gangster rap and r&b later in the 90's. it shows its age but its still fun.
It’s fine! Old and corny (following at times but his flow is stellar and overall it’s an enjoyable album. But this list really prioritizes early hip hop and largely ignores modern stuff. No Acid Rap, no Hell Hath No Fury, no Trilla or Deeper Than Rap?!?! Time to revise and get some of these oldies off of the list
This was... Fine. I prefer this style of hip hop and the lack of skits was a godsend. It wasn't all self aggrandisment too but I did wonder the mindset of putting some of this to tape and how you must have... Such a high bar for embarrassment in how cringey some of the lyrics were. Hardly unique here but given I didn't hate this I listened a bit more than I did for some others. There were some catchy bits and few annoying bits but everything sort of sat in the middle as being... flat and repetitive. Around the Way Girl and Farmers Blvd probably the best. Low 3.
Oh, I don't know. I'm not really into hip hop, it has to be top notch for me to get into it, but so much of it is filled with mysogyny and hate. This wasn't really that bad, but it was also just fine. It is just a 22 year olds guide to hitting on women. It wasn't too demeaning, he still felt like he was trying too hard though. Like the first word is him trying to say the word funky, but still sound like some kind of hard guy. I can't really take the machismo of it. There were a couple which felt worse than the others, there were some with naffer lyrics, like the one about milky cereal, but overall it was fine... Fine in a way that I didn't hate it but I have little want to hear it again.
LL Cool J and the LL stands for Living Legend ya heard!?!? Break beats and 90s hip hop goes together like peanut butter and jelly. The way LL flowed on these beats were absolutely ridiculous, brother was in the studio and just left earth. 5 stars for Hip Hop and 5 stars for the legend LL Cool J!
301125 13:18 3 / highlights: murdergram, mama said knock you out
Not my cup of tea.
I liked this album more than the other 90s hip hop/rap I’ve heard through this project so far. It was playful and even goofy at times but I think that’s part of the charm.
This classic by LL Cool J still holds up today. You notice the signs of the time here and there but lots of songs are incredibly funky. The highlight is "6 Minutes of Pleasure". Other songs were always a bit dumb like "Milky Cereal". I rate this one 4 stars because while it is a great hip hop album I don't consider it an essential masterpiece.
65 minutes is a long album.
One of my first albums. Still good.
прикольный, несколько раз глаза выкатились от текста, некоторые песни реально понравились, качовые. буду переслушивать их
My main exposure to LL Cool J is his role in NCIS: LA because my brother loved that show. It’s kinda funny to imagine he’s probably more well known nowadays as a cop. Anyway this album is okay, his lyrics are pretty shit but the beats aren’t too bad. Milky Cereal was fucking atrocious though and the line in Mr Cool Bar where he says “I sure wouldn’t rape you” is wild, like Mr Cool J that is the absolute bare minimum.
Not a genre I am familiar with but I enjoyed this album. Some neat bass lines and the lyrics made me laugh.
I love the smoothness of Around the Way Girl, and how big the beats feel on some of the other tracks. The braggadocio is pretty charming, especially in contrast to the outright misogyny of the Biggie album I listened to a few days ago. There are a few tracks I'd probably skip the next time (Milky Cereal, really?) but I would listen to this album again.
A pretty good album altogether, though sounded a bit dated and I didn't like how they removed most of the profanity. 2.7/5 - > 3/5
Didn't really enjoy this one
I just don’t think I’m built for hip hop - there are exceptions but for the most part, I just can’t connect with it. It’s just not for me. In the opening track, he just sounds bored! I didn’t think I’d make it any further but I enjoyed the music of the next one, Around the Way Girl - it has a more soul-like feel that I liked. It gave me hope for the rest of the album but, nope, it was an isolated incident. Nothing to see here. Move along.
What a load of crap. Ho's, cars and how great you are, get stuffed. Though "illegal search" held my interest through the whole song.
A few good ones the rest was meh.
Very cool album that I have not actually heard before today. I remember hearing the hit songs when I was young and I remember the Mama Said Knock You Out video on MTV. Brings back some great memories and I think the lyrics and beats are great. I'm sure I will listen to the hits on this album again but probably not the whole thing again.
The Boomin' System - 3/5 Around the Way Girl - 5/5 Eat 'Em Up L Chill - 4/5 Mr. Good Bar - 2/5 Murdergram (Live at Rapmania) - 3/5 Cheesy Rat Blues - 5/5 Farmers Blvd. (Our Anthem) - 4/5 Mama Said Knock You Out - 5/5 Milky Cereal - 2/5 Jingling Baby (Remixed But Still Jingling) - 3/5 To Da Break of Dawn - 3/5 6 Minutes of Pleasure - 2/5 Illegal Search - 3/5 The Power of God - 3/5 Average score: 3.4/5 (rounding down) there's a couple tracks i thought were fine, but this was some cornball shit for the most part. but that's to be expected of most 90s hip hop i guess
Får lyst til å reposesse biler i Los Angeles av å høre på denne.
I really don't appreciate all 90's rap, it is too raw and i did not listened to anything interesting, i'd rather put NWA or something else instead
Listened in the truck via YouTube music. Having just watch Freaky Tales this was a fun listen. One of the tracks had to be an inspiration for the movie since it had the terms Yuck Mouth and Danger Zone in it. The samples are great and raps are good for being boom bap. Would relisten to this for sure.
This is LOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNG. The ladies may have loved him, but for me he wears out his welcome. Best Tracks: The Boomin' System; Mr Goodbar; Mama Said Knock You Out
Very steryotypical 90s rap, but nothing special really. Lyrics also pretty mid.

Honestly fun
Fine for a 90's rap break. Not groundbreaking in any way, except maybe he's being all chill and sexy lyrics instead of "aggressive" like other rap acts. Wouldn't put it as a must-listen.
Skuffelsen var ægte da jeg efter at have lyttet til albummet hele dagen kun var kommet gennem 4 numre. Jøsses jeg keder mig af lyden. Det er sejt nok med et track hvor knejdene fra blokken får et værs, men det er nok også det eneste positive jeg kan finde på..
Titelnummeret står ud. Det er et klassisk Hip-Hop mesterværk. Resten er trælst at høre på.
Overstayed its welcome, but like only a little; most of this was great. LL has a great flow and the production rides a fine line between 80s and 90s. Title track is a classic of course, but others like Around the Way Girl, 6 Minutes of Pleasure, and Milky Cereal were a great listen as well.
Cover 4 Meh. The radio hits. That's it.
2.5 - aight
Some of this is a little creepy. Maybe it seemed fine in 1990. Some of the beats got a bit samey too; I swear multiple tracks sampled Funky Drummer.
classic, listened many times
Liked the sound and vibe, but not enough of the individual songs
Loved the beats in this album. I didn't realize how much influence LL Cool J had, because I know I heard these beats in other rap albums that came out years after. Definitely heard the same vibes from Jurassic 5's Quality Control.
KL Cool J
I always knew LL Cool J but never had any idea what his music was like. Never in a million years would I have guessed he was the Mama Said Knock You Out guy. Every song was too long and some were really annoying but overall I still enjoyed it.
Classic album that I enjoyed on my first listen. Held up
- pas ma came - tounes intéressantes - à réécouter 5.5/10
Quelques tunes que j'ai apprécié mais globalement ce n'est pas trop ce que je réécouterais.
Once again hip hop just isn’t my thing. There are some inventive rhymes and rhythms. But never once was I enjoying the listening experience. 2/5
Some of this is throwaway but some of this slams
Aside from the title track this sounds dated and weak. I actually thought Will Smith was guesting on one track as it sounded so cheesy
While this was not my jam when it came out back in 1990, I always enjoyed the tracks "Around the Way Girl" and "Mama Said Knock You Out." Upon revisiting those tracks, along with everything else, this was much better than I was expecting. Is it a bit sexist? Yes, but LL Cool J is one of the only hip-hop artists that actually looks like he could get the trim he boasts about here.
This was silly at times, but overall a nice listen.
His fourth album. Rap / Hip Hop. I can't believe this was 1990. It sounds a little ahead of it's time. Cool beats throughout but the lyrics are pretty crappy. Mama Said Knock You Out is easily the stand out track. The album also too long. It over stays it's welcome. Decent production. Apart from that one track, I lost interest fast.
Not my jam.
Maybe rap’s first superstar and deservedly so but he’s right on the precipice of the golden age of rap. It’s a little dated but the title track is an all timer (2.5/5)
Yeh,, yeh. Mama Said Knock It Off. Not sure why this album made the 1001 Must Hear List - Lame rhymes about juvenile topics. Mirror Mirror on the wall, Milky Cereal say it all. (1.1*s) More squeaking like Beasty Boys needed.
I always put LL into the 90s hokey hip-hop category along with the likes of The Fresh Prince and The Digital Underground. However, after listening to Mama Said Knock You Out, I give a little more respect to Cool J. This album packs a punch much harder than I expected. Title track is a classic with some good support from others like "Eat Em Up L Chill" and "Illegal Search." I got a kick a out of "Milky Cereal" and had some when I got home. I may need to check some more material out by James T. Smith. 2.82 stars for this record.
Weird to think that I'm more familiar of LL Cool J as an actor than a rapper. I'm aware he his a highly touted rapper but his discography is never anything I paid attention to. I went in not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Mama Said Knock You Out is a nice taste of the old-school rap hip-hop style that I prefer to modern gangster rap. Pretty simple production but LL's lyrics and flow are catchy throughout. It's got a couple higher energy tracks that I enjoyed. It's got style and smartly avoided a lot of the annoying aspects of stupid rap albums skits or contributions from a background MC's. I found this more polished than some of the Public Enemy or NWA entries that have appeared on this list. Seems LL Cool J's reputation as an early rap icon is deserved. 3.22 stars
A bit long and boring
The song Mama Said Knock You Out holds up, but the rest is like the Run-DMC stuff we had recently. It’s too basic. Some of the lyrics are pretty crap too.
Pretty damn good! Loved some of the songs and the production aged super well. Love early 90s New York hip hop. 3.5
Only gripe is the song called 6 minutes of pleasure is only four and a half minutes… bro finished early!
Back in the mid-80s, when hip-hop still had a strong underground component, LL Cool J was one of the first rappers to go mainstream and make the genre popular. But in 1990, the hip-hop scene was already firmly established, and I’m not sure this album brought much novelty to the genre. It’s a pleasant enough listen, it was good for his time, but quite a lot of tracks now sound very dated. He’s a good emcee, no doubt about that – tracks like Eat’em Up L Chill, Mr Good Bar or Mama Said Knock You Out are still classic examples of old-school NY rap. But it’s not something I’d really want to listen anymore except for the historic value.
The tracks are an occasionally interesting collection of early 90s cliches. LL’s rhyming style hadn’t evolved since 1985 and generally he comes across like someone who’s more interested in being famous than making music; who’s more magnetic than creative.
This is a solid rap album. I've always liked LL Cool J, and this is just another great one by him.
I rate an album a 4 when I actively enjoyed listening to it, which I definitely did here. Favorite song: mama said knock you out
Ok, I’m starting to think this list might be deliberately messing with me. After saying that I sort of enjoyed a hip-hop album yesterday, it immediately throws me another one, but this time we’re back to the tedious bragging over tired beats. The only track that I really enjoyed was an ode to the joys of eating cornflakes, and I realised that the hip hop albums I like are the ones that have a sense of humour and don’t take themselves too seriously.
It's a very uneven album, with good songs (good flow, good background music), with some meh songs (kinda laid-back, way too repetitive music) and some huge WTF (Milky Cereal?! at least it shows some sort of self-deprecation).
LL COOL J: Mama Said Knock You Out: This shit sucks. Its really long, boring, and repetitive. I don't really see any appeal outside of the title track which is good and has a lot of energy. Was honestly really disappointed even though rap and hip hop are not genres I typically enjoy. 3/10
4/10
I have no idea why I like this so much lol
La transición del rap de los 80 a los 90 en forma de álbum, con temas claramente old school (por ejemplo, Cheesy Rat Blues) y otros más funky/R&B (6 Minutes of Pleasure). Una producción simple pero de calidad y unas bases muy buenas llenas de samples de temas conocidos al estilo de su época. Las letras, por su parte, son más ochenteras que otra cosa, típicas en plan "soy el mejor y tú no" y muy sexistas aunque, por lo general, sin llegar al estilo gangsta, no tan burdas y con un pelín más de sensibilidad. Pues no sé, creo que es un álbum importante dentro de su género, pero a mí me ha dejado algo frío. Lo que más me sigue sorprendiendo cuando escucho álbumes de esta época es lo tremendamente atrasada que estaba la escena del rap en España por aquel entonces.
This album didn’t age well. Some songs seem too tame (around the world girl) most tracks are built around one sample loop and get boring around the 30s mark. Compared to Dr. Dres Chronicles album (got this last week) this sounds lame.
Ladies Love Cool James Around the Way Girl and Mamma Said Knock You Out are the standout tracks on this album. The Boomin' System is also pretty good. The rest of the album is not bad, but is probably 10 or 15 minutes too long. LL Cool J is not my favorite hip hop artist, but he definitely has his moments.
Not too bad but the beats are all the same and not the most interesting.
"Pumpin up the funky beat until the break of day..." good summary of opener The Boomin' System. LL's flow is on point, promising start. Around The Way Girl her a somewhat dated-sounding chorus but the verses are just as strong as the opener. I'm enjoying the darker beat on the next track. This straddles a couple decades of hip hop but the overall sound is more 1980s for me. Title track still goes aggressively hard with a classic drum break and simple melody. Not sure there's enough standouts after that, but the consistency is there with plenty of variety in the beats and samples. Earns at least an extra half point for not having any skits or interludes.
4.5 - Oh this was fun
Its mostly very simple direct tracks, but i like it. 3.9/5
That's not even good enough to be rated garbage. It's proper place is in the 1001 albums you should avoid.
Maybe it was more revolutionary back in the day, but it's kind of boring.
Pleasantly surprised by the banger beats and his flow. His lyrics are witty and full of finesse. I found myself nodding along to the songs.
Dope
I was patien enough to listen to it till the end but SUCH A TIRING EXPERIENCE IT WAS. Nevertheless, there are some good songs and it gives this very hip hop vibe. 3/5
interessant
Fun for a rap album
L can certainly throw down, even if his lyrics do feel a bit cheesy at times. Overall, I found the experience less challenging than most others in the genre (despite running long). I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this again, but I'd also be fine letting it roll if it ever DID come back around.
This wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I actually quite liked it. Makes me think I should NCIS LA a shot. Maybe his acting isn’t that bad either. I’m giving this a bonus point for the cereal song. It’s so non serious it earned street cred for me.
I liked the music on this. There beats are good, with lots of jazzy samples and musical flourishes. But I wasn’t sold on LL Cool J as an MC. He’s decently charismatic on a few tracks, but just as often I thought his performances fell flat. He lacks a certain oomph. His flow is solid but unremarkable, and his lyrics are overly reliant on rap cliches. Not a bad album but I didn’t think it was anything special either. 2.5
Really solid early 90's hip hop. For some reason I have some notion in my head that LL Cool J has always been some kind of jokey artist but these songs are genuinely really great. He's got a nice laid back flow and the production is tight. The one thing that holds it back for me is that the lyrics aren't exactly profound or deeply artistic, which is one of the best facets of hip hop and rap. I do recognize that it's just one aspect though, and not every artist strives to be some incredible timeless lyricist. "Mama Said Knock You Out" is one of the best 90's rap songs. A true classic that is fun, just a bit tough, and catchy as hell. It's a nice 3/5, maybe a 3.4/5. Not quite high enough to be a 4, but it does deserve a place on this list.
J - 2/5 Best Track - "Mama Said Knock You Out" F - 2/5
Enjoyed this but I am bias as this is my era of hip hop/rap.
It's alright
7/10 not a fan of this genre but I think it’s pretty well made
A fairly solid LL, which sees him start to come into the golden age from the mid-80s basic beginnings. A lot of people love those early albums, but I often find the production too rudimentary. This is where he starts to shine, in my opinion, for what turns into a pretty good 90s run of albums. Title track is absolute classic. Jingle Baby is great. To the Break of Dawn is a great diss track, aimed at Kool Moe Dee, Ice T and MC Hammer. Lots of smooth picking up girls type rap that has always been a focus of Ladies Love Cool J. Production, which is mostly by Marley Marl, is classic for the era. 3.4/5 probably.
Nah, why do so many rappers from this era spend their time trying to fuck me through the speakers? I’m sick of hearing about this guys dick by the end of track two and there’s FOURTEEN tracks on this album? It’s honestly pathetic, and the music holds no sway over me either. This was poor, very poor indeed.
More rap crap not worth a listen
Better than almost all other 80-90's rap but is still way too long. Shave off 20 minutes and this is a SCC.
DNF; what I heard wasn't horrible, but annoyed me just enough.
6.4/10 A lot of it sounded the same to me. Good beats and flows, but needs more variation
Boring
Don't usually listen to this kind of music, but enjoyed it a lot.
Well I’ll never look at a Mister Goodbar the same way again.
I only know a couple of LL Cool J songs, “Going Back To Cali,” and the title track off of this album. Both songs are pretty good, but neither one of them has ever inspired me to check out an album by LL Cool J. However, I saw on Reddit this morning that Mr. Cool J was supposed to play a show today, July 4, but some workers involved with the venue were on strike, and LL decided to not be a scab, and backed out of his performance. Good for him. Anyway, I expect this album to be pretty dated in its sound, but I hope the whole thing hits as hard as the title track. LL Cool J didn’t knock me out, but he almost put me to sleep with this album. LL’s rapping is super crisp and clean, like a freshly pressed shirt, but listening to this album was like having a closet with 14 of the same freshly pressed shirts. Despite the crispness of his rapping, LL’s voice isn’t that great in my opinion. The rhymes and flow were fine, but there just wasn’t anything about the subject matter of the lyrics that I found particularly interesting. Even though I didn’t care much for this album, there were a few songs that I liked: -The production on “Around The Way Girl was dated and cheesy, but I loved it. There’s something in early nineties hip-hop that just hits my ears in a way that awakens my sense of nostalgia. The opening really hooked me in, and the beats and backing music were great. The backing vocals were super smooth, and I liked the distorted refrain too. -“Murdergram” was really good. I loved the energy that the beats and samples brought to this song, and LL’s flow was really strong. There were some parts of this song where he was rapping with a machinegun-like pace, and he absolutely crushed it. The lines ‘I boost a party like jumper cables’ and ‘save the beat and put it on layaway’ were awesome. -The title track is absolutely fantastic. I wish this type of energy and intensity had been present on the whole album, because LL Cool J absolutely crushes this song. The production is great, the rapping is fantastic, and the chorus really hypes me up. -“6 Minutes of Pleasure” sounded great; I loved how the beats and trumpet sounded together. Despite the great title track, Mama Said Knock You Out was a chore to get through. Most of this album was pretty bland, and I can’t see myself seeking this album out again, or listening to any other LL Cool J albums.
Yeah, its some cool rap. Album overstays its welcome though. Some good production.
What a brilliant comeback album... Oops!
Yah this album did nothing for me. The beats are bland. The rapping is bland. And worst of all everything is so clean and edgeless. I’ll say it over and over, clean rap is so redundant and boring. I guess the big hit is “kinda” right. It should be called “mama said put you to sleep…with boredom”.
LL Cool J combina calidad y comercialidad. Mc respetado e influyente (sin ir más lejos el chipmunk de Around the Way Girl su mejor canción de este álbum). El problema es que ese mismo año Public Enemy publicaban Fear of a black planet, A tribe called quest, Ice cube....
Playful, clear-in-your-ears hip-hop! Slightly RNB! Gangsta but listen to your mama!
Not much to say, except I really enjoyed listening to this. It’s out of my wheelhouse, but it’s interesting musically, intelligent and has a consistent and great groove. Love it.
LL cool j is so quintessentially 90s
2.45
Interesting album…I liked it!
Liked: Farmers Blvd, Mama said know you out, and milky cereal. Ice-T diss track
While LL Cool J is an extremely accomplished musician, I found this to be too commercial for my tastes.
Milky cereal is hilariously unhinged. I also thought illegal search was pretty funny as well Jingling baby was catchy the title track Mama Said Knock You Out is probably the best one
This album is not that great. The title track is good and is definitely a must hear before you die. But Milky Cereal is the freakin worst! 1001 album worthy: No - 99/182
Around The Way Girl // Mama Said Knock You Out // 2.5/5
3.5 - Good
This is not my kind of hip-hop, I know it's probably pretty early, but the whole thing is just a bit naff
Over an hour and didn’t grab my attention even once.
Bang average
It's not the worst of its genre on here, but I didn't enjoy most of it, which makes it feel like a chore, especially when it's over an hour long
I was enjoying it until he said he wouldn't rape me. Then he started talking about cereal.
DNF, sorry!
Mediocre.

Ok ... after six good albums I suppose it was time again for one of those terribly boring albums, which are simply painful to listen to. The whole body fights with the ache spreading through your brains, your lung, your heart and the only thing you can think about is when this terrible, terrible pain will end. I guess that is the also the reason why these album are on this list. Before starting the journey of the 1001 album I had never encountered such nasty feelings when listening to music. And I guess that it therefore makes sense to introduce these albums to a wider range of listeners. And I really to congratulate the organiser of this list for these albums. They really make you feel - in a negative sense - the music. Enjoy the pain!
A handful of bangers with decent lyricism and flows. Could’ve benefitted from a few slower cuts tossed in to break it up from just constant rhymes which kind of wears me down. 6/10
A good album , best song by far is the title track, one of the first rap songs i ever liked and it still holds up
Fun listen for sure. I like how some of the songs are just clearly silly on purpose lol
4/5 big fan of the flow and witty lyricism of the album. Some choruses were a little bit weak, but the instrumentals more than made up for that
Clásico del rap. Buenas barras bien flow y buenas instrumentales
Not a bad record but nothing I would come back to. Cool to listen to once though!
Not really my vibe, but some good tracks and a fun listen. I didn't hate it, but I probably won't be listening much in the future
My first reaction to this was annoyance at how long it was. But you know, it's a pretty enjoyable album. It's pretty funky with some nice rhymes in there. I'm not a hip-hop guy, but I much prefer these kind of vibes compared to some of the more modern stuff.
Kind of average hip hop.
Any time I paid attention to the lyrics they were SO cheesy, but the music makes me feel like I'm strutting down the street with a boombox on my shoulder, so overall I had a good time
Other than the title track, didn't really enjoy this one.
Non è brutto, ma è anonimo come il voto
This is when the downfall of civilization began. 1/5
I had this album growing up. Naive me at 10 years old never understood why 6 Minutes Of Pleasure was only 4 1/2 minutes long. I haven’t listened to Ladies Love in 35 years. It’s been a good run.
This album is considered “Golden Age Hip Hop.” If that doesn’t make you feel like an ancient relic, I don’t know what does. With that said, listening to this album was a bittersweet experience. On one hand, its juvenile innocence and simplicity took me back to a time when the world seemed so much simpler than it is today—a reminder of how far removed we are from that era. The music production and LL Cool J’s rapping are both full of energy, and I can just imagine how much fun this album was to play at house parties and other lively environments back in the day. But on the flip side, that same juvenile innocence and simplicity mean that a lot of hip hop from this era hasn’t aged well.
This is technically very tight: the production is progressive and immaculate, while LL Cool J's delivery and rhyme schemes are extraordinary. Subject-matter wise, a lot of this falls into the category of 'why do we need to know this?'', but as a vehicle for the technical prowess of LL Cool J and his producers this is a good album. Title track is unreal but it's all very listenable.
This was really fun! Rap is not for me, but LL is a great entertainer, and I was surprised at how easy a listen this was. I was really getting into the cornier tracks like Mr. Good Bar and Milky Cereal. Maybe I just enjoy songs about food products - All of these lyrics are supposed to be taken at face value right?? ✨
Epic!
Meh, kind of a let down of an album if I'm being honest.
It's not my cuppa, but I must say it was quite nice for 1990
Old hip-hop, it sounds old & nice... nothing good nor bad...
A typical example of a pivotal album from the early ’90s transition period, but when hairy chests were still a thing :). Quite innovative on tracks like “Mama Knock You Out” and “Eat ’Em Up L Chill,” where the flows finally start to loosen up. Clearly not my favorite from that era, but still a solid and influential record.
Idk if this is because I'm just not a rap fan in general, but this bored me. Around the Way Girl was weirdly wholesome though. Would I revisit this: no.
A good album, noty usual style of music but I liked the way LL Cool J raps. I liked Around The Way Girl and Eat Em Up L Chill the most.
Lacks the same punch as LL's previous output. RADIO was a vicious album announcing LL as a formidable foe in the hip-hop game. The follow-up showed he could be as smooth as he was raw and he benefitted from better production. But by this one it had sort of lost the sharp edges. Great songs, but aggressive screamers like the title track just didn't land as hard as it may have had it been on the one of the previous slabs.
Solid
I like the beats and the hooks here, but it all just sounds too dated. LL Cool J is also now so famous for non-music things that this feels strange to return to (like with Queen Latifah's music). There also isn't a single track that I'd be excited to return to here. 2 stars feels a bit harsh, but I'm rounding down.
Good beats for the most part. The rapping is often quite good. I just would appreciate more singing.
Favorite Track: Mama Said Knock You Out
There's some rap I like, there's some I don't. This is the latter. It was quite tiring to listen too.
Makes me move. Seems a bit childish now to me. Sort of Jr High. Two songs are enough to get the idea.
More listenable than many albums of the time with an all time great in "Mama Said Knock You Out." Still, I had a hard time getting through many of the songs and the Mack Daddy misogynistic lyrics ("Milky Cereal," really?)
East coast classic. Some great boom bap, creative samples and a nice flow throughout. Maybe hasn't aged as well as stuff from his contemporaries like Tribe and Public Enemy, and occasionally cringy lyrics, but still a fun listen and a highlight of the golden age of hip hop. Title track is an all time great
i think the problem with a lot of early hip hop is that the genre advanced so fast and moved in such different directions that even five years between albums feels like the difference between the bronze age and the space age. so with that in mind, early stuff just sounds ancient and way behind everything else. however this doesn't even sound good compared to other albums released in 1990. how is this a classic when it sounds like ass compared to like straight outta compton which was released a full year earlier
First? 3/5 Again? 1/5
Very in your face. Can tell it influenced a lot of modern rap and even some rock with his cadence, beats and lyrics. Cadence and beats: Macklemore, Beastie Boys, Kendrick. Cadence: Red Hot Chili Peppers (Give it Away). Lyrics: Kendrick, most other clever rappers
Not usually my vibe at all, but really enjoyed it. Just loved the old school sound. Bobbin' my head the whole time.
Not my thing, but it’s a fun album
Well produced and honestly a solid rap style. This stuff is all antiquated, and comically aged. However, LL has an engaging style and the music holds up well. I wouldn’t listen to this frequently, but I was glad to have visited a strongly made album, which was artistic, fresh, and well put together. Complete with passionate delivery.
I liked about half of this album, and the other half was pretty cheesy
Good rap album. Enjoyed it.
I didn't engage with this at all, it was just a procession of plain vanilla rap songs. Maybe the content was absorbing but the sound wasn't.
Classic Hip hop album. LL was in top form.
Nice album for 1990 3/5
Personally I just think this album was too long and also similar to a lot of stuff I have heard before HOWEVER I do recognize there is immense influence and therefore give it praise.
You could call some of this dated and might be right (e.g. some of those keyboard stabs in "Around The Way Girl") but I feel like that's a feature not a bug here. There's never been better music for rap than when organic instruments and/or samples were used (see: "Golden Age of HipHop"); not just drums (although yes 100% drums - kill the 808s forever) but great old funk samples (e.g. James Brown, Rick James) as used liberally here. So the music is catchy as hell and/but LL's rapping is top-notch - not just his great deep voice but his rhythmic flow is perfect. The album is a bit too long (should have capped off around 45 minutes) but the high points make it a great hiphop throwback. 7/10 4 stars.
Surprisingly good. I shan't listen again but it's thr kind of hip-hop i can get on board with
The Milky Cereal was kinda wild, but it was a cool listen.
I really like LL Cool J's rapping style, pretty laid back but he has a smooth easy flow that's easy to listen to with some added intensity when it's required (like the title track) Not sure this is anything ground breaking. Considering the politically charged lyrics of the likes of Public Enemy and NWA in the late 80s, this is a bit more chilled. But I enjoyed it
So repetitive and just did my nut in by the end tbh 2 ⭐️
Rap. Nah. At least it's not mumble rap. 3/5
The title track and “Farmer’s Boulevard” still hold up, but there are a lot of skips on this one.
Innuendo a 12 year old would find clever for 45 minutes, Mama Said Knock You Out, and the only pleasant surprise Cheesy Rat Blues where he drops the “I’m the shit” shtick to seem like an interesting artist with some depth for just a few minutes. Mr. Goodbar and Milky Cereal are the corniest songs I’ve ever listened to.
Cool 90’s hip hop
Some cringe lyrics ('I sure wouldn't rape you'?) but there's still some enjoyable moments here and there. Suffered by comparison from listening to Kendrick the prior day. Standouts: Mama Said Knock You Out, Milky Cereal
I liked this one. It had a bit of funk and even if some of the lyrics were questionable, it wasn't enough to put me off.
Приятное качевое дерьмо, хоть и старческое
One of the best rap albums ive ever listened to. Every song is brimming with great beats and some of the best lyrics and delivery I've heard. A complete masterpiece with no skips or weak spots
This has to be the Apex of old school, right? Or maybe a bridge from old to new? It's fairly simple sampling, with some inventive beats here and there. Around The Way Girl is a top track for me and I still know almost all of the words to Mama Said Knock You Out. Plus, I was a huge House Party fan and To Da Break Of Dawn was there too. Consistently fun and great album--4.5 for me, going to 4 only because of some filler.
Did not enjoy.
Very nice but not really my jam
Great 90's sound but nothing stuck with me enough to revisit
Enjoyable, maybe dated (what early 90s hip hop album isn't misogynistic) but some good jams, 4* Highlights: mama said knock you out (don't call it a comeback!), around the way girl
Title track is a classic and for 1990 it generally doesn't sound too dated, but as usual with a lot of hip-hop it could definitely do with trimming a few tracks. The last few you could probably just clip off completely and have a solid 45 minute 90s rap album.
Much better than expected. When I think of LL Cool J I mainly think of his acting career even though I'm very familiar with the title track and I think it's a banger. I really thought it the track was an outlier but the rest of the tracks are also hard hitting. Maybe the album was a bit too long.
I wanted to get into this alot more than I could, it's just a bit dull
Smooth
God this hurts. It’s taken 4 sessions to get through this. A lot of rhyming couplets I would expect to read if I was marking a 12 year old’s homework. “When we began her hairstyle was neat/But when I left the next morning it looked like shredded wheat”. Pathetic. “And I can't make you/I sure wouldn't rape you”. Well that’s SO kind of you. And you've got a detention. Lame lyrics, Boring repetitive tunes. Got 1 star written all over it. But I feel I have to upgrade to 2 for shoehorning in a bit of Northern England slang “Big juicy legs/And a nice pair of kegs”. Sound.
More hip hop/r&b than I was expecting, which I feel is often the case with rap albums from the 90s. It's fine.
first listen golden era imo
I hate hip-hop, and so it's going to be an interesting experiencing wading through the handful of hip-hop albums included on this list. This is the first, and I don't completely detest it. Good beats and a few decent songs (title track, Around The Way Girl). Not a complete disaster. But I will never listen to this again.
An album with a couple hits, one I know pretty well, but the whole album reeks of being a transitional album. The album has beats and production sometimes reminiscent of the 90s, other times the lyrics and and flow is purely 80s. It not only suffers from that "I'm the illest," bars that were dated years before this album, other times the lyrics are just terrible. "Surely I won't rape you?" Seriously? Sickening, and just plain creepy. The beats are also cut too short, leading to anger only a few songs in, as they hardly do enough to warrant the 4+ minute runtime. It not only is dated, but it is aggravating, and while I cannot deny the catchy factor found in Mama Said Knock You Out, the rest of the album fails to even sort of reach that song, and even that falls into the same realm as something like Hammer Time, and I'm sure you don't need explanation on how that's an insult. If this is the best LL Cool J gets, I fail to see how he was one of the main MCs of the time.
Probably better than I expected
A few bangers. Gets repetitive, though. Won't likely revisit the entire album but noted the tracks I liked. 2.5/5
I am unabashedly nostalgic for this album and the era of hip hop it came from. LL was never my favorite, but this is the pinnacle of his work as the East Coast transitioned from 80s to 90s rap. The title track is still a banger and the MTV Unplugged edition is even more iconic! 4⭐️
A pioneering rap album
I'm sure this was great for the golden age of hip hop, but even by 1990, Public Enemy and NWA made this stuff look corny as hell. The eponymous track is dope though
I listened to the first four songs, and they were so campy. They reminded me so much of Hamilton, that I decided to go listen to the entire 2.4 hour Broadway soundtrack before coming back to finish the album. And let me tell ya, this album felt longer.
classic 90s hip hop album! i feel like a lot of current rap artist pay homage to this album in a lot of ways. clearly was extremely influential in the hip hop/rap scene
Please, don't give me any more rap. I can respect it but I can't appreciate it. I suffered my way through this nevertheless.
ma bbooona
Pretty boring album. Can't see what I'm missing and why this is on the list. There's 100 things missing from the list that could easily replace this. Mr. Good Bar is brutal. Mama said knock you out saves this from a 1.
This has the feeling of still having a foot in the old school. He's kind of obnoxious. Mama Said Knock You Out is a jam tho. I dont think this does anything that unique. It's fine. Marley Marl does a solid job.
What originally turned me away from hip hop is that a lot of rap artists had seemed to hard-focus on lyrics and put pretty much all the other aspects of music production on the back burner. As someone who's a lot more fond of instrumentation than vocals and doesn't like analyzing lyrics all that much, for the longest time, I thought that rap was something that I'll never be able to get into. I've since learned that this approach to hip hop production is not at all universal. There's a lot of hip hop, especially in the last couple of decades, with more detailed and engaging (at least for me) instrumentals and more variety in lyrical delivery. But a lot of modern hip hop and most of the older hip hop still consists of basic, rhythmic, repetitive beats and flows with not much variation, of which I'm not huge fan. This album is definitely of the more "traditional" variety. The tracks here are not bad, but none of them excite me. Like, I didn't mind this album playing in the background—the beats and the rapping are solid—but nothing about it made interested in paying more attention. This album is just pretty generic and not that imaginative. But if you're into this style, I can totally see you enjoying this far more than me. Cool J is a good rapper (can't really talk about the lyrics because I didn't pay a lot of attention to them), and the production is pretty clean. But this minimalistic approach is not for me. This album is fine, but it's not something I would consider relistening. There's a lot of hip hop I like, and none of it follows this formula.
Title track is still a banger! That cereal song was a bizarre choice. Overall, nit bad but didn't do much for me.
I do understand that this is an impactful album for people, and there are plenty of songs and moments that are gems, but for some reason it was a struggle for me to get through. 3.5 stars.
Title track rocks.
I think I'm already on record as saying that I really like any rap song in which the rapper proudly describes himself as 'funky' - so when LL informed me in the very first track that he 'gets funky, frequently' I was very much in. I know that my rap opinions are invalid because I liked this more than Wu-Tang. To me, LL seems like an ancestor to Drake. Especially on songs like 'around the way girl' He's a smooth dude who likes the ladies not just for their bodies, but for their minds and personalities too. That's how I like to think of myself too, come to think of it. And the ladies love cool Frank too.
Some decent tracks for a non hip hop enthusiast like myself. I really liked Mama said knock you out, Cheesy Rat Blues, the boomin system (awesome sampling). I didnt know how young he was here - dayum
This is one listen through for me - kind of fun and silly - not sure I'll come back. Decent songs: Murdergram, Mama, 6 Minutes. Makes me wanna lick my lips. Had no idea this is where Run the Jewels name came from (Cheesy Rat Blues) - I like some of their stuff, so 2.5 rounding up.
I’m in my LL Cool J appreciation era for sure. I def undervalued him as a rapper bc growing up I knew him more as a cheesy action star/ubiquitous CBS personality. But this man has serious skills. The lyricism and storytelling are a cut above. The beats are funky fresh and playful as hell. It’s not just the ladies, listeners love cool j, too!
Another album where you feel it's impact at the time has been lessened. At the time it must have been a shock to hear Ll get aggressive, but now the lines just sound a little cheesy, whether he's threatening you with a bad time or a good time. It's not appalling, just lacks anything to back up the lead single.
5/10. I really feel like if I get the right 90s American rap album it's gonna get a crazy good score but so far all the ones I've just haven't quite been my jam. I still feel like the beats are so fire and I love the flow, I just feel like lyrically this just didn't quite do it for me - like the rhyme schemes felt quite basic (might be my terrible ear) and the lyrics didn't resonate as much with me as I'd expect. I did the more melodic aspect of 'Around the Way Girl' but I don't feel like I can give this one more than an average score for me personally. 🤷
The cringe is strong with this one. 2/5
I can’t take a man seriously who has a self appointed nickname. Milky Cereal is the worst song I’ve heard in a while.
Some excellent instrumental samples and pretty sick beats. This was definitely forward thinking for 1990, but there are a significant number of skips for me.
Not much of interest on this album for me - a couple of beats that were ok but other than that I have no positive feelings about this. If I never have to hear another song off the album, I would be happy. But it didn't make me hate it so it gets 2 stars.
More 90s hip-hop. I didn't find this particularly interesting sound-wise but at least the lyrics were ok. Stand-out: Farmers Blvd. (Our Anthem)
it's kind of crazy this is from 1990, you can hear a lot of what will come in the late 90s and early 2000s, which is generally my least favorite era of hip hop, but this is much more varied sonically and with a lot more of the humor and playfulness later mainstream rap lost and never quite regained. it is overly long though, especially considering there are some (in my opinion) obvious stinkers that break up the album flow and could have been cut with no loss whatsoever
Pretty good
I'm tired of this type of rap album on the list. It's an unpleasant surprise to start my day in the office by listening to these uninteresting 60-ish minutes, and I cannot find differences between many of them. Subpar and boring.
3 maybe 4
not for me. sounds like noise.
It was an alright album. I only added the first song on it to my playlist, but I can see why people who like older songs would enjoy the album. Mr goodbar and the cheesy eat rat blues were decent. I don’t think I’d listen again unless it was the first song which is a solid 7.5/10.
Rap
Yikes. Aged like milk. Mr. Good Bar is one the weirdest songs easily, but the rest is just so damn corny. I was never a fan of Mama Said Knock You Out, so the rest of the album was just downhill from there. Can’t believe they let him run with the Mr. Good Bar joke like 5 times on the album. Just terrible.
The songs/raps are repetitious - after about the third song, you have pretty much heard the rest. "Mama Said Knock You Out" is catchy, and by far the best track here. It has a good groove.
Those New Jack snares.
Kind of surprised that LL Cool J is on this list at all, and I'm a hip-hop fan through and through. I guess if anything, I would've expected one of his earlier albums. But in any case, it's crazy impressive that LL was doing this at 22 years old. He was practically a hip-hop veteran at this point and the titular single "Mama Said Knock You Out" is the most LL Cool J song ever (maybe next to "I'm Bad"). LL just knows how to command attention from the mic and isn't afraid to boast about himself (or try to steal your girl). I will admit that this album is a bit bloated and varies a bit in quality here and there. It felt like I was wading through some gunk to occasionally find some treasure ("Around the Way Girl", "Murdergram", "Mama Said Knock You Out", "To da Break of Dawn"). Not bad overall I guess, but it has its cheesy moments.
I didn’t like it but I didn’t hate it. Just another rap album. Too many on this list.
Another late 80s, early 90s rap that just isn’t good. Title track keeps this from being a 1 star.
Late 80s, early 90s rap. Could be Run DMC, could be Vanilla Ice, could be PJ and Duncan.
Kind of like Will Smith's rap career, without the sense of fun. Not my thing.
Well, this is certainly an interesting album, even though I can't say that I find it all that engrossing. LL Cool J very much feels like he's caught between hip-hop's past and future here. At times he shows the intensity of gangsta rap, but the lyrical style often sounds more like the 80s than the 90s. The sampling is using a lot of well-known songs, much like groups like Tribe and De La Soul were using at the time. It's a weird little time capsule that doesn't feel connected to any particular movement in hip-hop, but rather straddles several of them. I don't think I'll ever listen to this album again, but I have to admit that my initial skepticism that this doesn't belong on this list was unwarranted. It feels like it represents a true inflection point for hip-hop 4/5
Not at all interested.
3/5
God damn is LL Cool J funny as hell. So many hilarious lines. This guy is a rap OG and after a few years of getting made fun of LL had enough and shit on everybody who doubted him, creating an album that inspired every rapper who heard it. Legend
A little too long, but some absolute bangers on here.
This feels like one of the most dated hiphop albums of the 1990s.
LL Cool J found himself in an odd position at the start of the 90s. Having started as a hip-hop wunderkind, he had seemingly regressed into a punching bag for fellow rappers to lay their licks in and LL was taking notice. He dropped the phony act, put on his own boxing gloves and reformed himself from punching bag to power machine, hence Mama Said Knock You Out. Of course, that was just one song; the remainder of the album contains not just brazen reminders of LL's initial potential but a silver of what was keeping him down in the eyes of critics (Mr. Good Bar and Milky Cereal coming after the title track are egregious examples). Overall, Mama Said Knock You Out offers a valuable lesson to supposedly struggling rappers everywhere: if you want to remind those that you are tough as nails, you probably need to sweat out the Atlantic Ocean. Favorites: The Boomin' System, Eat Em Up L Chill, Murdergram, Cheesy Rap Blues, Farmers Blvd. (Our Anthem), Mama Said Knock You Out, Jiggling Baby (Remixed But Still Jiggling), To Da Break of Dawn, The Power of God.
His big comeback after falling off in the late 80s. Several songs have that early 90s NYC, "boom bap" sound. I feel like he can't decide if he wants to be extra hard street dude or Mr. Ladies Man. Highlights: "Around the Way Girl" (big pop rap hit with a sticky hook. The type of thing that Puffy would do and make lots of money from in the mid-late 90s), "Murdergram" (where LL pretends to be Ice Cube and actually does pretty well), "To Da Break of Dawn" (flow is a little old school but the music is coolly funky, reminds me of a Pete Rock production with the horns on the chorus, makes sense because he learned from Marley Marl who produced this track) Notable: "The Boomin' System" (voice seems deeper, something about the flow reminds me of "Summertime"), "Mama Said Knock You Out" (should've been the opening track instead of halfway through the album), "Milky Cereal" (um...ew)
Way cheesier than I remember it.
Some good songs, but too bloated. Easy to lose interest listening to it.
Not for me
Funnier than I expected. Overall it was decent beats and flow. Easily distracted, but for the most part it did a good job of keeping my attention
Enjoyed this on the whole, some amusing rhymes which had me laughing a few times, marred slightly by grating choruses on a couple of tracks Favourite tracks: 6 Minutes of Pleasure, Mama Said Knock You Out & Cheesy Rat Blues Will probably revisit. 3/5
As rap R&B goes, it’s pretty good. Seems all the R&B these days talks about wet pussies and fucking bitches. I tried to listen to the latest stuff on Apple Music… made it thru 3 songs and about 50 N-Words. It’s worthless crap. No hope for black youth in America.
Old Skool’s last gasp was fun enough
Perfect!
Decent
Favorite Track: Illegal Search
I’m a fan of early 90s rap, and this album definitely brings that classic sound—with hard beats, battle-ready bars, and a confident delivery. But LL Cool J just isn’t really my guy. “Mama Said Knock You Out” is a legendary track and still hits hard, but beyond that, most of the album didn’t leave a lasting impression. Solid for what it is, just not something I’d come back to often.
This was not bad. Pretty tame for a rap album. Definitely sounded more mainstream.
Good for the time. Now basic 80s hip hop.
Me parece escuchable, muy de los 90/2000, pero no es un tipo de musica que escucharia en mi dia a dia como album, si bien puedo apreciar alguna que otra cancion. Si me gusto la cadencia, no me parece repetitiva ni abrumadora, sino con espacios y mezclas que suenan bien al oido, en cuanto a letras, lo mismo, pude entender partes y me parecen una pintura de la comunidad en la que se desarrolla y eso me gusto
It's got a lot of hip hop classics.
Wonderful.
Otroligt bra hiphop, inga skits direkt (som jag minns). Lite för långt
