Product Description

LL Cool J's egotism is his m.o., his sex appeal, his greatest strength. He'd been on top of the world since he started scoring hits as a teenager, but anyone who's been in the rap game for five years, as he'd been when Mama arrived, has something to prove. So he came out swinging--literally--with the title track, which claims boxing trash talk as proto-rap and turns it into a declaration of ongoing mastery. Beyond that, Mama, with its ultrahard Marley Marl production, pumps up his love-man rep (the sweetly affectionate "Around the Way Girl" and an even hornier remix of "Jingling Baby") and his ego (pretty much everything else). It's mostly just old-school boasting, but damn if it isn't deserved. --Douglas Wolk

Going back through my albums the other day, I dusted this off and played it. What can I say...but that they dont make ALBUMS like this anymore. In that its a whole album where every song is great in its own right. Sure there are a couple of cracking singles on here, but its a rounded piece of work. LL coming hard off the brunt of criticism for being too extragvant with panthers, girls and champagne all over his album covers (which is what hip-hop has morphed into today), went back to the lab with Marley Marl and cooked up this masterpiece. Theres funky LL (Eat Um Up L, Booming system), battle rhyme LL (Murdergram, to tha break of dawn, mama said) New Jack LL (Illegal search, 6 minutes of pleasure) and of course a few obilgatory LL tunes for the ladies.
Most importantly, even in 2006 the beats still bang hard - a testament to the amazing production skils of Marley Marl. This sadly was what I consider the last great LL album - so its worth picking up. A Hip Hop classic

Probably LL's Best Album. The only L.P. that is even close to this is Radio. LL was underpressure to bring ou a real Hip Hop album after his last offerings and came back with an absolute peach. A real Hip Hop album. If you have not got this then you don't know Hip Hop. PEACE

YOU NEED THIS!
You just need this album in your life. Some of the finest hip-hop work ever on this album. All tracks are brilliant, but the stand-out track is 'Mama Said Knock You Out.' MUST BUY!

One of his best
We all know LL Cool J was great until the late 90's. Phenomenon was one of the biggest let downs to me when it was released. Read more
