I saw this years ago and this young man did an excellent amazing tremendous job!! He had the style choreography performance just everything!! I know LL Cool J was SO SO SO PROUD I LOVED IT ❤️❤️
Honestly No one can ever match the pure energy radiating performance of Original LL Cool J"s "I'm bad"!!! But man this kid did a hell of a job. Respect!
For a legendary artist, When someone performs your songs like the way he just did it, it’s the equivalent of that person giving you your flowers while you’re alive. It’s the ultimate tribute. Makes all the hard work worthwhile
He did!!! I’m excited to see where his career takes him. Hopefully him and his fellow youngins of Stranger Things stay the path of healthiness because we know how gross the entertainment industry is.
@@tanginasimms1753 It's NOT true. They can't rap like him anymore?? Lol Either you don't actually know anything about Hip Hop or your a trolling Tool. For all of LL's greatness and also for as many horrible new rappers that there are, there are a vast MYRIAD of lyrically gifted artists who even LL wouldn't admit put him to shame. I share this as a person who loves MOST genres and have listened to Hip Hop since it's early inception. There are horrible individuals spanning EVERY genre although it's amplified and PUSHED more in Hip Hop by music execs and white suburban kids who love to but it. ;) But if you actually knew anything about the Hip Hop you'd know that there's still plenty of amazing talent. So stop the bullsheit.
I gotta be honest this is STILL my favorite Lip Sync Battle moment. Lol! If they do another Stranger Things with this cast they HAVE to incorporate something like this. Or just this era hip hop in general. I mean come on man! We've gotten 3 seasons and not one hip hop song. LL Cool J looks like he's about to lose. Loved this.
Gaten Materazzo needs to come on decked out in a Limahl wig and do “Neverending Story.” And, of course, Sadie Sink needs to dress up like Kate Bush and do “Running Up That Hill.”
Simply Perfect! My sensitive self cried! I was so proud watching him nail the entire performance just like the video! When I saw how pleased LL was I cried even harder!! LL is one of my favorite rappers! He deserved that tribute!
I'm so Proud of this kid. He did such a great job!! You can tell that LL was Proud of him as well. I loved how they incorporated the same dance moves as was in the video back in the 80's. Bravo young man!!👏🏾👏🏾💙💙
Standing ovation!!!!!!! Yeeeesssss I love how LL did that dance in the original vid. ( crush you like a jelly bean) lmbo. And this was just amazing and looked like fun. This makes me smile with so much love and peace in my soul. Thank you LL for your light. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️AMAZING!!!
This kid is very talented and this is the best lip sync performance I've I've seen thus far. LL Cool j is a legend and I think that performance made him feel proud as he should.
Gotta give it to him, he picked one of the baddest song from ome of the greatest Emcees and he killed it, the boy is badddddd, all thanks to LL for making that happened
It’s still amazing how a kid born in 2001 PERFECTLY recreated a video that premiered in 1987. That’s talent
Exactly
Ikr? Almost like the whole video is there to learn and recreate the same simplistic movements.
You forgetting 2001 babies was raised by the 70’s and 80’s baby lol
Lol no that’s just him having great music taste
I mean he is an actor
LL is standing there like a proud Father and can blame him!!!!
Michael Jones can?
😂🤗😊no I don't blame him😊
That was the jam back then
It was like “he does me better than me!” 😂
Caleb did this 🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩😃😃😃😃
LL smiling like a proud dad watching his only son who made it.
He watched him grow up to be famous.
I did'nt know, that was is son
@@marcellagamble6633 it’s not
Alright baby Nas. 😂 Lol
@@TamaraGarrettAlpha not all people get that jOkE

He did the exact same choreography from LL's video. That's what made it more entertaining, even for LL Cool J.
IKR💯🔥
Not just the same choreo,Caleb did the swagger,confidence & smirk perfectly too❤️
RIGHT…exact SAME
Loved it
I saw this years ago and this young man did an excellent amazing tremendous job!! He had the style choreography performance just everything!! I know LL Cool J was SO SO SO PROUD I LOVED IT ❤️❤️
He recreated the music video so perfectly
On stage tho!!!...Nd when crushed that jellybean 👍🏾

I really think cool j saw himself in this performance... You can tell
I could see it too!! He look like he wanted to hop on to the mic again?!!!
Yes yes yes
Of course he did, that young man brought the energy. Made LL join in and do some parts so u know he did a great job.
I doubt it
Yes he couldn't hold back he went to the mic
This one is so underrated ugh

Stfu
Didn't it win?
Right? I watched all the other kids and they had 24,000 likes... ALL of them! I can’t believe how little this one does

LL is like, I will call him Mini-Me.
IKR!!!🤣🤣🤣
👌🏾 niiiiiccceee
Lol!
While holding his hand to his mouth with his pinky sticking out! Lol
“Even when I’m bragging, I’m being sincere.” Still one of my favorite LL lines of all time lol.
Caleb gave that man vindication, pride, and goosebumps! He’s probably still feeling it!! That smile was as wide as the stage!
Honestly No one can ever match the pure energy radiating performance of Original LL Cool J"s "I'm bad"!!! But man this kid did a hell of a job. Respect!
Little man handle his business.... One of my best LL Cool Jay songs....Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa im BAD.
Absolutely
For a legendary artist,
When someone performs your songs like the way he just did it, it’s the equivalent of that person giving you your flowers while you’re alive. It’s the ultimate tribute. Makes all the hard work worthwhile
Yassssssss that part right there
He's killin it like he killed Ricky Bell in the New Edition movie
Kareem Beaman right
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE.
He did!!! I’m excited to see where his career takes him. Hopefully him and his fellow youngins of Stranger Things stay the path of healthiness because we know how gross the entertainment industry is.
You can tell he's a natural dancer. That New edition training FYRE
Thought he looked familiar
You can see the joy and respect on LL COOL J’s face.
LL seems genuinely amused... bet he never imagined viewing this in his wildest dreams- too bad they cant rap like him anymore.
So true
Agreed.......today’s so called rap music can’t touch old school hip hop. 😎
@@tanginasimms1753 It's NOT true.
They can't rap like him anymore?? Lol

When LL sang along to it....GOLD!!!!
"My hat is like a sharkfin" Classic!
I was waiting for that part..I'm going to be playing L.L. Joints tonight

He crushed it. With LL looking on like a proud father. Loved it
How every boy growing up dances to their favorite artist when alone lol killed it

Definitely walked in on my brother dancing around like this 😂
He reenacted the original video. I take it you haven't seen it? ;)
@@MasochisticMaiden If you've ever watched LL's video for the song you'd know that this young man brilliantly reenacted his moves. 😎
@@robinvolpi I seen the original music video with LL...I was that kid trying to copy every dance, back when BET had Aj and Free
This is best form of ode to an artist. I watched this a billion times.
This song is Thumping.
He killed this!! He literally brought my childhood back for a 1 min and 41 seconds lol
Pls tell me I'm not the only one who replayed the body roll
Your not why does it move like that😅
Your most definitely not

Gaten Materazzo needs to come on decked out in a Limahl wig and do “Neverending Story.” And, of course, Sadie Sink needs to dress up like Kate Bush and do “Running Up That Hill.”

He's on the Netflix show "Stranger Things" and he was in the movie "The New Edition Story".
He killed the entire performance!!!
This kid is very talented and this is the best lip sync performance I've I've seen thus far. LL Cool j is a legend and I think that performance made him feel proud as he should.
He was amazing
SICK!
Lawd,this took me back to 1988!!! Caleb killed it,he definitely did LL proud!!!!
He nailed it !!
So far the best performance I have seen in the show

caleb is so underrated it’s sad
Is he though? He’s rated
@@ted1990 yes he is actually.
@@ted1990 so bye.
Nah he isn't. 11m followers on instagram isn't underrated, he isn't the most underrated in the cast either.
L L so proud and enjoyed every moment.
Go straight to the winner’s circle! Dayum!
Bro killed it ❤😂
LL has to be so proud to know that he is a true hip hop legend.
