LL Cool J is a Hip Hop legend, on Def Jam Records one of the most legendary Hip Hop labels. All World is a collection of some of his biggest and best hits from his first six albums and it doesn't fail to disappoint. You can really see how LL's style has changed over the years from the raw basic beats of the opening 'I Can't Live Without My Radio', to the hilarious 'Big Ole Butt', through to the slicker more soul orientated 'Hey Lover'. This is an ideal purchase for any younger LL Cool J fans who weren't around when the earlier albums were released, and absolutely Essential for the anthems 'Rock The Bells', 'Jingling Baby', 'Around The Way Girl', 'Mama Said Knock You Out', 'Doin' It', and 'Loungin'!!
Format:Audio CD
This product is great because you get an extra cd of unrealesed material and dont forget the original cd.

Goin' Back To Cali.
21 Mar 2000
Format:Audio CD
I confess I'm not a big fan of rap in general but there are a few rap artists I enjoy. LL Cool J is one of them. I can't explain what it is about his music that I like more than other rappers, but perhaps it's his sense of melody. I don't own all of his cds because I didn't feel LL was a great musician. He did create some great rap songs though, and this compilation is worth owning because of that fact alone. "Goin' Back To Cali", "Mama Said Knock You Out", "I Need Love", "Doin' It", "Loungin" and "Hey Lover" they're all here plus more. The only hit missing is "I'm That Type Of Guy" which is sorely missed, but nonetheless, this is still a superior collection of songs. A must have for any rock collector.

GOAT? Maybe.
12 July 2002
Format:Vinyl
In 1987, I was nine years old and this older kid that I knew gave me a bunch of 45s that he had. One of them changed my life forever. The record was by this guy named LL Cool J and the song was "I'm Bad." It was the first time I'd ever heard a hip hop record and I've been hooked (obsessed?) for the past 15 years.
Uncle L has gone through several incarnations and I really don't like anything that he's done since MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT (except for the brief period when the lion was re-awakened by Canibus) but fortunately all the classics are here: "Radio," "Rock the Bells," "Mama Said Knock You Out," and of course "I'm Bad" showcase the self-proclaimed baddest rapper in the history of rap itself, while he still speaks to the ladies with "I Need Love," "Jingling Baby," "Around the Way Girl" and depending on how you look at it, "Big Ole..."
Yeah, LL Cool J in 2002 isn't the same that was LL Cool J in 1991, but nothing great lasts forever. But his work changed my life and I can always relive that with this.

For all hip hop fans!
7 Feb 2006
Format:Audio CD
If only "Phenomenon" would've been included in this great list of songs! That's the one that's missing here to completely make this the perfect CD. LL COOL J is definitely in a league of his own. He can't be compared to anyone else even though he is a rapper and he's in a lot of company and his sound is unique.
Since the beginning L.L. said he was the best and although he's had tracks that didn't satisfy everyone, all of his tracks satisfied someone. L.L. has yelled, whispered, talked, and laughed on albums, something only half the rappers out there wish they could get away with. This album says a lot but in my opinion, it's only part of the story. Like I mention earlier there are a lot more forgotten hits on his albums and singles. (Check out G.O.A.T) There are a lot of great artist out there, and L.L. is definitely one of them. And still going strong (Talk about longevity).
Not only does this CD bring back childhood memories for me, but it's one of the best hip hop albums out there. Buy this, you'll love it. Every hip hop fan should own this if they haven't already.
