It succeeded mightily, making him an across-the-board superstar and cementing his status as a rap icon beyond any doubt. LL COOL J MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT/AROUND THE WAY GIRL 12 VINYL RECORD 1990. It leaves no doubt that Mama Said Knock You Out was intended to be a tour de force, to regain LL Cool J's credibility while proving that he was still one of rap's most singular talents. The album's hits are a microcosm of its range - "The Boomin' System" is a nod to bass-loving b-boys with car stereos "Around the Way Girl" is a lush, winning ballad and the title cut is one of the most blistering statements of purpose in hip-hop. LL Cool J ’s powerhouse fourth album, Mama Said Knock You Out, came out 30 years ago this week and its rhymes and production techniques still resonate today. Even apart from the sympathetic musical settings, LL is at his most lyrically acrobatic, and the testosterone-fueled anthems are delivered with a force not often heard since his debut. Marl's productions on the slower tracks are smooth and soulful, but still funky as a result, the ladies'-man side of LL's persona is the most convincing it's ever been, and his ballads don't feel sappy for arguably the first time on record. But its greater variety and more layered arrangements make it LL's most listenable album, as well as keeping it in line with more contemporary sensibilities. Mama Said Knock You Out isn't quite as hard as Radio, instead striking a balance between attitude and accessibility. Part of the credit is due to producer Marley Marl, whose thumping, bass-heavy sound helps LL reclaim the aggression of his early days. Im ready (Were ready) I think Im gonna bomb a town (Get down) Dont you never, ever, pull my lever Cause I explode And my nine is easy to load I gotta thank God Cause he gave me the strength to rock, hard Knock you out, mama said knock you out (Huuh) Im gonna knock you out (Huuh) Mama said knock you out (Huuh) Im gonna knock you out.
