Music reviews of All World: Greatest Hits
Music Review: Takes me back...Remember when Rap could be clean?!
Rating: 5 Stars
I ordered this on a whim. I remember all of these songs from my youth and they all continue to hold up well. I have been blasting this on my car stereo on my commute off and on for the past month (and I forgot how much bass there was...my speakers may never recover!). Only "I can't live without my radio" seems dated, although it is grin inducing whenever I heard any mention of "casettes". Rap could push the envelope and be great while being curseword free. His rap was saucy as all rap is (the "...Big Ole Butt" and "doin it" songs will attest), but did so without being grotesque and profane. My only pet peeve was that although the record does not have an "explicit lyrics" sticker at least one slipped through, that is on "I'm Bad" you can clearly hear the MF word at one point. That was the only curseword that I can ever remember and that slippage is no worse that all the S... words on "Bananas" by Gwen Stefani that never earned a sticker either.
By far my favorite moments occur in the sublime song "Momma said knock you out". I love the absurd bombast of yelling "I think I'm gonna bomb a town!" everytime I hear it.
Description of All World: Greatest Hits
The very epitome of "been there, done that," LL Cool J also has the distinction of having originated (or, at least, being the most proficient at) half a dozen rap styles. On the hits collection All World, all the phases are represented: he was "hard as hell" on 1986's "Rock the Bells" and again on 1991's "Mama Said Knock You Out"; on 1987's "I Need Love," he was the painfully sappy precursor to Boyz II Men, but he had the formula down pat for 1990's "Around the Way Girl" (and then he went sappy again on 1995's "Hey Lover," a collaboration with the Boyz); and 1988's "Going Back to Cali" found him stylin'. He's had his ups and downs and managed to produce only a couple of truly killer albums, but LL's first dozen years show that he's left his stamp on nearly every facet of the hip-hop world. --Randy SilverGeneral CDs
