Appreciating Hip Hop- 10: The Worst Shall Be Ten
This is my ninth review of LL Cool J’s catalog that I originally published on Epinions.com two years ago during Hip Hop Appreciation Week.
Roughly 7 years since his last hot album, you wonder what LL had up his sleeve. Even though G. O. A. T. wasn’t a bad release, just inconsistent, I would say that [...]
American Idol Season 5: And The Winner Is ….
(At the bottom of this write-up is the post game show that my dear mother and I did. I’ll apologize in advance for the awful mic popping as my original mic didn’t want to work. There are a couple of uneasy edits there as well, but I’ll blame my lack of sleep for those.)
It’s time [...]
American Idol Season 5: And Then There Were 2
When we were down to the final four, I had hoped the final two would’ve been Elliot Yamin and Chris Daughtry. They were the two best singers left, but of course, America had an affinity for Taylor and McPheever. I can understand the appeal of both. Taylor is a likeable guy who uses gimmicks to [...]

Appreciating Hip Hop- Phenomenon: The Puff Daddy Experience
This is my seventh review of LL Cool J’s catalog that I originally published on Epinions.com two years ago during Hip Hop Appreciation Week.
There were two unique things about LL’s seventh solo album (HE would count it as his eighth with his greatest hits package All World). One was that he was scribing his life [...]
Appreciating Hip Hop- Mr. Smith: LL Cool J Becomes James Todd Smith
This is the sixth review I wrote for Epinions.com two years ago during Hip Hop Appreciation week.
For the longest time, I didn’t know what LL Cool J’s real name was. In certain songs, he’d make reference to the name Todd, which I thought was his first name. But if you take what his name really [...]
Appreciating Hip Hop- 14 Shots To The Dome: This Is How He’s Comin’
This is my fifth review of LL Cool J’s catalog that I wrote for Epinions.com two years ago during Hip Hop Appreciation Week.
14 Shots To The Dome was the follow-up to the very successful Mama Said Knock You Out. This was probably one of the more difficult albums LL had to make. As a youngster, [...]
Appreciating Hip Hop- Mama Said Knock You Out: Eat Em Up L
This is my fourth review of LL Cool J’s catalog that I posted on Epinions.com two years ago during Hip Hop Appreciation Week.
I walked into the weight room, with my buddy Thinh and we were scared. We were freshmen trying out for the JV basketball team. We’d never lifted weights before in our lives. [...]
