LL has always known how to adjust to different eras and periods of hip-hop...this was obviously the peak of the shiny suit/jiggy era, but he still put his own stamp and rocked it.
Yes, an underrated album of his! 4,3,2,1. Phenomenon Father Starsky & Hutch feat. Busta Candy Despite the other soso/lacking songs, the first 4-5 are quality tracks!
You kids have no idea how fire 1997 was, man we partied harder than you can even imagine. I can still hear this vibrating inside my head in the club like i was still there. 90's forever!!!
I was just born that year but I grew up around music like this so it stuck with me I prefer 90s rap to today's they actually had real lyrical ability I'm about to be 27 I'm blessed to have grown up around real music 💯
They can change video how much they want as long its still looks natural its fine with me The real question is how they made this such good quality video in 1997 (for those new fans who thinks im talking nonsense Check this video date on google Man back then even wasn't created UA-cam ! interesting LL Cool J sayd " black and blue " just like Q-tip sayd the same in " Breathe and Stop "
LL was a menace. Always doing outlandish stuff in the videos. And it was gold. LOL. The fish Bowl era of the late 90s was wild. Then the 2000s came and everyone wanted to be upside down. What a time. I miss all those days,
@@Luvie1980 Yes he's talking it now On Twitter and saying we ain't ready for what's coming! Showing him in the studio. He's been promoting for about a year now. 🔥🔥🔥
@jessicarichter6436 awesome, but what song/video did the BEASTIE'S do?? And what album because, License to Ill only had one video from that album," You Gotta) Fight for Your Right To Party)....and that video production was in 1986 and those kind of fisheye video weren't even introduced in the 80's!!
The shiny suit era (jiggy period), back when Diddy was working with everyone. LL Cool J fit this perfectly since he was looked at as a pop rapper around the time this happened.
The bass line is 🔥. LL is just timeless. 2023. If Tik Tok gets ahold of this...it's over. I love Gen , if for no ther reason they'll take a song from the 90s and make it hot again.
Your truth gives me clarity and peace. Lord, You created truth. You are Truth. Live truth. Anyone who is suffering from visible or invisible pain. And an honest reflection of You. And excellence in all virtues. Keeps me. I am constant when I dwell in Your truth.
Wow, I was 10 years old at the time saw this music video come on BET Planet Groove in 1997. Therefore, I wish to rewind back to those good ol days that when music was popping better than today bull crap.
ALMIGHTY God, from whom all thoughts of truth . ... Amen. 20. A Prayer for Unity. O GOD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Saviour, the Prince of ...

I miss this era of music when you can dance and vibe with ease....
So true hero of our era
you fell off then bro
ANOINTING OF EASE peace
It's still a good jam to dance too for me 22 year's later
Welcome to the New World you more than likely helped create.
great bass sample
Man I miss these days....LL was dropping hits without talking about killing or selling drugs. #GOAT
Word 🙌🏽
Back then, it wasn't necessary..
He is a devout Christian (unfortunately)
But he was thinking it
@@-M0LE What’s unfortunate about that?
@@-M0LE So it's better to talk about killing and selling drugs than being a Christian?
Doesn't matter how many decades go by, this one is perfect. Fixes ANY mood/problems
Kinda like you 😍
And you immediately want to go to the nearest club and start dancing!
On God!!!
Ohhh yes
December 2023 and this song is still going strong.
THIS BEAT!!!🔥🔥🔥 MASTERPIECE
🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's was Diddy and his team who produced it
@madfrankiefraser2234 So, what's your Point??? It's still Dope!!!
@@Zo_1987 I was just stating a fact.
@@Zo_1987 Is that a problem?
This is one of my favorite LL Cool J albums
Yes, an underrated album of his!
4,3,2,1.
Phenomenon
Father
Starsky & Hutch feat. Busta

Dang right !
It went fun listening to that when I was 9 and the video made me chuckle a little when it was on BET. How would you react?
even being born in 2002 i felt this in my soul
His beats always knocking 🔥🔥
Classic Joint
That baseline is so ill!
Truly❤️🔥❤️🔥

@@catman3603 it was because of the cameras and the type of film they used... this type of film can be upscaled up to 4K
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fr..fr...it was bumpin!
Upside down like fifty? Haha brilliant . Yes I see why you mean that fish bowl big Willy style video
Yeah I really like the fish bowl era. And also the speedy film effect.
Fish bowl = Mo money mo problems. Upside down = In da club.
Afrofuturism upside down in all those Hype Williams vids
UNCLE L FUTURE OF THE FUNK!!!!💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💐💐💐💐
2023 and this beat still hits hard as fuck! Big Up from Poland!
'90s hip-hop at its finest!!
It’s alright but there are better examples out there
This song has a great beat,loving his rap video's,timeless classic...
That bass is so hot is should be against the law.
Yep this beat and song made me go search out the album when it dropped within 24 hours! 😂
This has aged very well.. plus the music video still looks fresh
This shit is a banger! Even in 2024!
2024 anyone?
My walking theme 😂
Came to mind, wish i can go bk to that time. 😢😢
🙃🙃🙃
Always ❤
Such an original comment
1997 classic hit
This is still a club banger for the older heads
2023 and still bumping to this BANGER.The Beat and LL's flow as always, on point like a fucking Decimal 🔥🔥🔥
This video is a masterpiece, one love LL
It’s so good
Phenomenon is LL’s best record. I can listen to it front to back without hitting next. Ten tracks; quality over quantity.
We wanted to be like LL COOL J, his style was extremely unique, goodness gracious.
No body I know wanted to be like ll cool j they wanted to be like Mike! 😎 choose one !🎉🎉🎉
Yeah Michael Jackson is not your best choice or best look! lol 😂
I remember being 19 watching this video and then jumping up and down when LL and the girls do The Wop! Best part ever!!
I miss those days of Cool music..what the hell happened.
cool music = 1995 to 2005...
I miss FUNK! I'm talking about Digital Underground, Prince, Nate Dogg, ect....
Heavy bass G-Funk!
That bass line classic
LL please come back to music!!!
He got a new album dropping soon
@@1CHOZN7 really?
@@Luvie1980 Yes he's talking it now On Twitter and saying we ain't ready for what's coming! Showing him in the studio. He's been promoting for about a year now. 🔥🔥🔥
@@1CHOZN7 I hope it's something like this! It's what we need right now.
Fisheye cameras in hip-hop videos in the mid 90's!! Missy elliott and the legendary James Todd Smith, aka LL COOL J, made them legit!! 💯
Busta Rhymes wants you to Put Your Hands Where [His] Eyes Can See...
Beasties boys did fisheye camera 1st & made that popular in the 80s but the way missy use it in the 90s was perfection!
@jessicarichter6436 awesome, but what song/video did the BEASTIE'S do?? And what album because, License to Ill only had one video from that album," You Gotta) Fight for Your Right To Party)....and that video production was in 1986 and those kind of fisheye video weren't even introduced in the 80's!!

LL any day is still Something like a Phenomena
Whisper application
I love the AESTHETIC from the videos of this time
The shiny suit era (jiggy period), back when Diddy was working with everyone. LL Cool J fit this perfectly since he was looked at as a pop rapper around the time this happened.
why do I feel like Busta Rhymes should be in this video looool
Fish eye lens was big in the 90s. It's sometimes still used today.
Hype Williams
@@ThePhantomKing and their videos usually followed one another on Viva and Mtv, Busta had the one video clip where he played Shonuff.
Bloooooooo. All of a sudden buster rynes they he developed his music on an island in Jamaica. He must mean Jamaica ,Queens. Noooooo RESPECT 😂
Same camera movements & body movement
Thats got such a great "Club" dance beat !!! Im 55 & I love it! Takes me back to 90s in the clubs having fun dancing!👍✌️
JAM GOAT RIGHTTTT
Im 52 and still play this since I first heard many decades ago

Classical music, a great genre, bless up bro salute from Milton Hewitt, Jamaica, West Indies, Portmore Garden
No one else could excel at Porn-Rap,except LL Cool J! Truly the greatest of all time!
Porn Rap? 🤔
Way better than today's so called music
Why do today's rappers look like transgenders with rainbow hair?
Maybe cause they are?! 😮
OMG, memories, sweet memories.... I truly was in love with LL back in the days.

L.L. Is a fantastic fantasy Bless His Beautiful Wife.
This is one of a very small selection of rap songs I truly enjoy.
Because it's brilliant, and alone, legitimises the concept of rap.
