- This is a Fan Made Unofficial Video i made for LL Cool J Song: Rock the Bells
James Todd Smith (born January 14, 1968), known professionally as LL Cool J ( Ladies Love Cool James), is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and actor.
He is one of the earliest rappers to achieve commercial success, alongside fellow new school hip hop acts Beastie Boys and Run-DMC.
Signed to Russell Simmons & Def Jam Recordings in 1984, LL Cool J's breakthrough came with his single "I Need a Beat" and his landmark debut album, Radio (1985).
"Rock the Bells" is the third single from LL Cool J's debut album, Radio. It was released in 1985 for Def Jam Recordings, was written by LL Cool J and produced by Rick Rubin.
It was the follow-up to "I Can Give You More". "Rock the Bells" peaked at #17 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Despite the song's title, no bells can be heard in the album recording.
The original version of the song, riddled with bells of various types including a cowbell, is 7 minutes and 11 seconds long and was only released on 12 inch vinyl.
• LL Cool J - Rock the B...
It was based on the 1982 song "Breaking Bells" by Crash Crew.
The song was later sampled by LL Cool J himself for his song "Mama Said Knock You Out", from his album of the same name.
The intro was famously parodied by English footballer John Barnes for his 1988 single "Anfield Rap".
The song also featured in the 2002 video game Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2, the 2006 game Scarface: The World is Yours, the 2008 game Skate It and 2009's Skate 2.
The song was also used in the video game DJ Hero in which it was mixed with The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony".
The song was later featured on LL Cool J's compilation album All World: Greatest Hits.
The song was also used on Smith's own channel Rock the Bells Radio (formerly Back Spin) for Sirius XM.
Lyrics:
LL Cool J is hard as hell
Battle anybody, I don't care who you tell
I excel, they all fell
I'm gonna crack shells, Double-L must rock the bells
You've been waitin' and debatin' for oh so long
Just starvin' like Marvin for a Cool J song
If you cried and thought I died, you definitely was wrong
It took a thought, plus I brought Cut Creator along
Evened up with E-Love down with the Cool J force
Specializin' in the rhymin' for the record of course
I’m a tower full of power, wind, rain and hail
Cut Creator scratch the record with his fingernail
Rock the bells!
The king of crowd rockers finally is back
My voice is your choice as the hottest wax
True as a wizard, just a blizzard, who ain't taken no crap
I'm rhymin' and designin' with your girl in my lap
The bass is kickin' always stickin' 'cause you like it that way
You think it's fresh and plus it's def because it's by Cool J
Cut Creator on the fader, my right-hand man
We rock the bells so very well 'cause that's the name of this jam
Rock the bells!
Some girls will like this jam and some girls won't
'Cause I make a lot of money and your boyfriend don't
LL went to hell, gonna rock the bells
All you washed up rappers wanna do this well
Rock the bells!
Now I'm world-wide known, whether you like it or not
My one man band is Cut Creator, a.k.a. Philpot
He'll never skip it, only rip it when he's on the fader
What's my DJ's name? (Cut Creator!)
Now you know, at my show, who’s on the wheels
He'll drive the cross fader like a cut mobile
So precise with a slice that you know he's greater
What's my DJ's name? (Cut Creator!)
Now you know, what do you know, Earl rolls the weed
I go to the store and get Old Gold
So all you crabby lookin' nappy headed girls get back
'Cause there's a ten-to-one chance that you might get smacked
Rock the bells!
The bells are circulatin' like the blood in your veins
Why are girlies on the tip? (LL's your name!)
Cut Creator's (good), Cool J is (good-good)
You bring the wood pecker, I'll bring the wood
The bells are whippin' and rippin' at your body and soul
Why do you like Cool J? (It ain't rock and roll!)
'Cause it ain't the glory days with Bruce Springsteen
I'm not a virgin so I know I'll make Madonna scream
You hated Michael and Prince all the way, ever since
If their beats were made of meat, then they would have to be mince
Rock the bells!
So listen to the rhymes align the rhyme on time
He'll cut the record in a second, make your DJ look blind
So all you Jheri Curl suckers wearin' high-heel boots
Like ballerinas, what I mean is you're a fruit-loop troop
All you gonna-be(s), wanna-be(s), when will you learn?
Wanna be like Cool J, you gotta wait your turn
Some suckers don't like me, but I'm not concerned
Six G's for twenty minutes is the pay I earn
I'm growin' and glowin' like a forest blaze
Do you like Michael Jackson? (We like Cool J!)
That's right, I'm on the mic with the help of the bells
There's no delayin' what I'm sayin' as I'm rockin' you well
Rock the bells!

people who are here from 2k24👇
If no one else..... I am.
I'm here!!
2024 LL is always good,
Fuck 2k
Rock the Bells!
those beats back then were so fire!!
Especially with the throwback subs too; that’s always have the top speaker missing and the bottom big speaker smushed in 😂
Rick Rubin is crazy for this one.
I been a graffiti writer since the 80s started "EPISODE" dkl 1985-2024 still bombing at 52. 😅😂😅😂❤❤❤👊👊👊
Me too. "Krylo -718" with C.I.A - 718 (krylo from krylon & C.I.A is City Inside Artists / 718 Brooklyn) .
There was no place to be except NYC, 5 Boros & Stong Island Long Island in the 80's & 90's. .
I know everyone thinks their time & generation was the greatest, & I'm not taking that from anyone, but trust me you just can't do what we did back then. Too much interference from everyone & everything. Whether politics, cameras, smart phones, fake ass reality tv etc etc etc. By the 2000's what was , was fading fast.
BEAT WENT CRAZY!
For when it came out this beat is insane
2024 and the beat is still banging!!!
Waiting for the Fat Boys to jump in with, "Huh uh huh, huh, huh, huh, tu tu tu tu tu, beat box!"
Loved his style....FLAWESS!!!!
gotta love the brick cellphone from 1980s
This isn't the video for this song but this song was dope when I was growing up. In 86 Cool J was the best rapper alive!!!

This THAT SHIZNIHHHTTTT!!! 💯💝 Forever Love For Mr. LL CoolJ!!
My brother would play this entire tape on our boom box until the tape broke I'm a fan of NYC hip hop my grandmother is from NYC rest in heaven Grandma Irene the strongest most beautiful woman I know I'm proud to your your granddaughter 🙏❤️
@malikahdavis7587 I grew up to this & also played the “CASSETTE TAPE” ✨🙌🏽 Praise to Grandma Irene 💫 I miss mine too, Grandma Alma ❤
I had a Grandma Irene, too. I didn't learn how strong she actually was until after she died. Granddaddy wasn't a very nice man in his younger days. But her love was longer than his mean streak. Mama said, Mr.___ and Celie was a lot like them -- She stayed with him and refused to become bitter. Dark Family Secrets.
MY favorite LL song. listen to that beat
High school days!!!! ❤
One of thee hardest raps I ever heard.
Facts!!
*the*
1 of 3 WHAT ARE THE THE Other 2
What Are The OTHER 2
I used to think the best rap came from Brooklyn. But it's hands down Queens.
He's from LA you think everyone is from the east coast if they rap west coast is a place for refinement of music style and culture and you know it we don't talk with that awfull accent from jorseay
@@Ramirez-j1h who was relevant in rap from the West coast at this time?
@@american_muscle444exactlyyyyy! wasn’t for another 3-4 years till NWA came out with Dopeman
@@Ramirez-j1h LL is from Queens

For some odd reason In the mid 80s when i was a kid everytime i heard ''Rock the Bells'' with that hard guitar break throughout the song I always thought of the 1985'' version of Jason And that Hockey Mask back then. And Its Weird that the person who's youtube video this is has a face with a Jason Hockey Mask on As His Logo!🎶😎

LL Yëët J
Cool Mo Dee
X'ed him out!
Right....
LL said he wanted to make the song rock my balls but his producer said no way man you gots to wait to biden is in office ll cool j said no way i better stack up the dollars for that day!!!lol 😂
he put the attitude in hip hop, legendary.
i luv llc but that was a shit song on the day
It was a crossover sellout that didn’t quite hit the vibe: too rock for the black audience , too black for the rock people. Was ahead of it’s time . Just . Not as ludicrous as his ballad ‘I need love’ but looking back that was ahead of it’s time too.
Maybe the perfect blend of old school and new school for the time. Old scholl was corny AF and didn't hold up. I heard THIS on KDAY the other day and it was fire. Brought me here. I had Radio back when I was like 11.
🔥🔥
Nice Fan Video
Appreciate the video
Don’t Appreciate Syko on the screen the whole time.
Boy. That band is really crack. Lol. They get paid to just hold their instrument. Rap/ hip hop has always been lame and over hyped.
Well get lost then, I don’t know why you came to say this here when many others won’t agree with you
@@lekaoforty.726 it is ok to be wrong. But really, you know that is garbage.
@@rickmerritt128 nah, at this point you’re the one that’s wrong
@@lekaoforty.726 ok
People who spent 12 years learning to play the solo from a van halen song now butthurt that hip hop took over chart music . Personally idc , I like everything from Death metal to disco .
