I feel the same! I grew up around jazz, my dads a musician and owned a few real estate companies but he played lots of cool music, he wasn't sure about rap though or heavy metal lol, but having six kids, we all had our favorite music and some of us played musical instruments. One of my brothers was a heavy metal drummer and played at the Troubadour in L.A. a few times. I was totally into heavy metal but loved alternative rock, too. We were lucky we each had all kinds of electronics to play our music (my poor parents, lol).. but this from LL COOL J is still one of the best rap ballad love songs to this day. 😁

@TheRealMerBer

When I was in high school, LL Cool J moved down the block from me. There were a bunch of celebrities that lived nearby, but LL's career was on fire and my friends & I were huge fans, sooo... we decided to welcome him to the neighborhood (I'm cringing as I'm sharing this), We walked up to his door & rang the bell, someone answered the door (later learned it was one of his bodyguards) & asked if he could help us. My friends didn't say anything so I tried to stay cool & blurted out "Hi! Is LL home?", like a kid knocking on a friend's door to come out to play. The guy stared at us for what felt like eternity before he said no "LL" isn't home (he emphasized the LL which I'm assuming meant no one who knows him actually calls him that😂) But it wasn't a total fail, my friends had started cracking up laughing after I spoke up & apparently decided to hell with dignity lol. Eventually the guy let us inside, we sat at the kitchen island bar and he gave us drinks (non alcoholic). LL was, in fact, not home. After that day we'd run into him many times, never knowing if he found out about the girls who rang his doorbell

@kaohsiung99

Look how ll is putting a dark skin beuatiful woman at the fore front of his video! I love it! And this exactly why ll was my idol!

Right!!! That was 300 years ago though!!!! That time is goooooooooooone

@brattyannmarie7334

It seemed like so long ago that dark skin women were being represented as beautiful in music videos now it just a bunch of white and mixed girls being used as props

This song and Heavy D & The Boys' "Don't You Know" were the first two rap ballads. Although LL COOL J's "I Need Love" released first, Heavy D said in an interview, that his ballad was completed BEFORE LL COOL J's track but "I Need Love" hit the radio waves first and so rap fans swill always recall that LL COOL J's song was officially the first rap ballad. 🧐

In real life she(he) was - with all honesty- in fact, born a male. Justin O'Neil, not Jessica O'Neil, but what does it matter with such genuine NATURAL BEAUTY- thats the magic of LOVE ?

“My body tingles all over from the slightest touch
Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time
Till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
If I find you, girl, I swear I'll be a good man
I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands” I felt that

I sincerely wish we still had great music 🎶 like this as well. The sad part of the so called "music"😢 today is all the toxic, disgusting, disrespectful language they use the guys calling females extremely disrespectful words and even worse is the females calling themselves basically the same things.😢😮 It's like this generation has no morals what so ever and if they do they are not displaying it to try and be like the other "artists" that don't. I'm 50 years old and I have a 28 year old daughter and I have always tried to instill in her respect for herself and others. I really appreciate music back then ❤ and miss it a lot. That's partly not completely why I listen to basically nothing but gospel music now.
