Smith grew up around music in all shapes and forms but it was hip-hop that truly captured his imagination, and he was writing his own raps and making his own mixtapes by the time he was nine.
Once he had it he was able to make these tapes to a nigh on professional level of quality and produce a number of them at a time, and he started sending them out to some of the nascent hip-hop labels around the Queens area. The label that signed Smith in the end was one that had been started the very same year by a producer called Rick Rubin and a manager and promotor called Russell Simmons.
Its name? Def Jam Recordings. Without LL Cool J, Hip-Hop would be a very, very different place, and for his influence, his skill at the mic, and his hand at giving the world Def Jam Recordings, he still comes highly recommended.
He needs to be the Sexiest Man Alive every year and on stage well he's even sexier. I saw Mr. Don't get me wrong, I love this venue, I usually like to see concerts and have lawn seats so I can sit and chill with the crowd. But not for LL, I needed to be up close and personal to see this man. After all these years performing he still has game. I have adored him from the beginning and loved him more and more over the years. As soon as he stepped on that stage, he owned it.
It's not an overly big stage either, but with him on it it seemed small. LL's charisma and perfection penetrated every single one of us that night. By the end of his show there wasn't one person not moving at least a little bit. The lights moved with every beat and the DJ was scratchin' the records like it was again.
I was hypnotized and giddy like a school girl. This was just a fun and exciting concert done by one of Hip Hop's greatest. Read more. Report as inappropriate. I mean you have to be a pretty confident guy in general to be bold enough to make your stage name abbreviate to Ladies Love James. Luckily for the rapper the strength of his music seems to support the bravado as away from all the showmanship, Jay is very skilled when it comes to spitting lyrics.
The largest cheers are reserved for the nostalgic values of 'I Need Love' which is shouted back by the entire venue. James capitalises this and attempts to smooth every single lady inside simultaneously to the sounds of high pitched cheers and unimpressed male accompaniments. The whole crowd are in high spirits though for a finale of 'Rock the Bells' which sounds as fresh as ever, having been reimagined by the man himself.
This was an awesome concert. I enjoyed myself. I wish I had closer seats though. Not too happy with the lay out of the place.
There should be big screen monitors to see the performers closer for those that have higher seats. See all videos 1. See all photos 6. See all posters Want to see LL Cool J in concert?
