Know hes always with you, this comment broke my heart because my father did the same with this song & I couldn't imagine losing him. Hes always by your side darling ❤
This song was my brother's all time number one favorite. I see why. Sad thing is I've lost him to a heart attack and now I sip on my Wine...with this song on Rewind. I love and Miss you brother ❤.
My mom was going through chemo therapy and she would be feeling down bad but to make her feel better she made all of her kids learn this song. I love this song just for that reason
Fourteen years old and middle school crushes! LAWD, this song was the pure, unadulterated ISH back in 1986! Malls, the skating rink, sleepovers, big hair, jerry curls, leg warmers, shoulder pads, playing double dutch jump rope, break dancing, Michael Jackson's "Thriller," Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." Salt N Peppa's "Push It," staying up on the phone all night with your boyfriend until you fell asleep or until your momma made you get off, lol!! We still had lockers at school. No cell phones or beepers and we didn't miss a beat. I sure miss those days.....
@@jeffyeager4045 stfu who do you think you are? Keyboard warrior telling someone they’re a loser because they are single. Maybe he lost his wife or girlfriend tragically…maybe he’s gay…maybe he did find love. You wouldn’t know.
My sister loved this song.....She knew it word for word.....Everytime I hear it...I think of her....Well , now she found love....After 30 years later.....Im soo for her....I love you Melanie
This song still hit after all this time. My son luv 's this song and he is 17. This is the difference between rappers and artists. Rapper's songs come and go, artist 's songs stand the test of time. Personally I'm in a good place in my life but it's 2020 and the world is not. So even though I live in my home with my girl who I love very much, I have a healthy son and a wonderful step daughter. Thank god I still have all my siblings and my girl has her 's and we both have our parents. We both are working and doing well with finances and morals but I look around at the world in 2020 and my heart is hurt for alot of ppl. I don't have it all, and I'm no judge of ppl but the hate that's out here pointing at each other, it's just sad. I listen to these words in this song and it once applied to me and I know that it applies to over half of the ppl in the world. When you're really happy their's certain things that you engage with, so when I see and hear ppl pouring so much time and energy into certain things, well that tells me everything I need to know. And at the root of most problems is a common denominator. Their's a absence of LOVE. Weather it's love from mother, father, brother, sister, friend, girl /boyfriend or no relationship with GOD which is more popular than what ppl are willing to admit. I say all of this to say is just, be true to yourself, forget about what you think the world wants you to be and be what god intended for you to be. You'll know if your on the right track because your stress goes down, your smile will appear and it won't be their because of you being happy at someone else failures. Good ppl will naturally gravitate towards you, and hateful one's will come and try to take your sunshine but once they see that they can't they'll back away because you'll be a reflection of what they should be like and they can't stand that reality. It worked for me so I know that it can work for others. GOD BLESS. 2020 WE NEED LUV
I grew up in L.A. county in the 70-80's, and I really loved the variety of music I'd hear. This was always a favorite of mine as well. When this track was released in July of '87 I was heading into my 10th Grade year. I memorized it back then, wearing out the cassette tapes and CD's. Now, a lifetime (or more) later, I can't help but wonder where this type of music has gone, the kind that could touch a soul and speak in volumes about that thing we seem to have forgotten... ... Kindness.
The art of Hip Hop love songs changed after this masterpiece dropped! LL hit the nail right on the head and kept all us from the beginning of this jam, to the ending of this jam listening and trying to make our own love song raps! Peace!
I remember when this song first came out in the 80's! I was I the 10th grade and my high school best friend and I would sit at the Pizza Inn on Buford Highway and put like $10 worth of quarters and play this song over and over and over, etc. LOL Those were the good ole' days!! God Bless, Robin Adams Cruickshank
"laughing n giggling nose" LISTENING to this song just now reminded me of a poem i wrote when i was maybe 10 the first one i wrote n my mom loved it. However I always loved this song n LL. HE IS A LADY'S MAN FOR REAL.
I love that there's only about 2 verses repeated throughout this song and the rest is all different an you're hearing a new verse pretty much every time.... instead of the bullshit we call R&B and Rap now a days that ONLY have 2 verses that make up THE ENTIRE SONG lmao!! .... I miss old shit like this!! THIS is an oldie but GOODIE!!💙💚💙💚💜💙💜💙😎👌
I am such an A hole I have an amazing woman but she can’t be with me she says she has to tell her mom first who lives in another country they are very traditional and I’ve never jumped through so many hoops for a person and I get upset when I’m alone every night she is amazing and she has shown me so much kindness I listen to this classic after bumping it so many times as a kid and I realize here today right now I need love I have love and I need to cherish her put her up on a pedestal and honor and love her and treat her like a queen I HAVE LOVE ❤️ THANK YOU LL the great for helping me god bless to you all and to all of you here right now take notes this is some real shizzzzzz 1 Love ❤️
I’ve always loved this song but now when I hear it, makes me think about my girlfriend, it fits us exactly. I was a player when I was younger and since, I’ve been looking for the one and the girl I’m with now makes me feel everything LL says in this song. She makes my body tingle when she touches and kisses me too and even has me frozen in time after kissing her
To my youth when Romance, pure Feelings and Love was surrounding myself. Thanks God who gave me all these beautiful feelings back when I thought all this was over as an adult🙏. Open your heart to God and you'll Love like a young adolescent once again and forever ❤️
This song has always been to "strong" for me to listen to because I have serious trust issues and when he says "holding in my laugh as I say that I love you" gets me every time😭 I wish boys would be mature and realize what LL Cool J is saying. Playing with a girls feelings isn't cool bruh💯
My dad could rap this whole thing without missing a beat...miss that man more than anything :/
bnhopkins520 damn man sorry for you loss

I'm so old school I'm conservative and I'm so old school I'm a Christian and that's as old school as old school gets Brothers
It's sad that this new generation will never know beautiful melody's like this song and others.
I remember seeing LL perform this in concert with the velvet couch and all the women went bananas...LEGENDARY🔥

The Best Hip hop Love Song Of ALL TIME LL COOL J Puttin' Down for 1980's And My ChildHood ✌🎶🔥
One of the most important hip hop songs ever made. So moving and honest.
I was 14 when i heard this first in 1987 on my walkman. Today I am 51 and still listening to this epic track. Now on youtube, Time runs to fast!
After hearing all these other songs on my local throwback hip-hop station, this one shines the most. Maybe rap itself 'needs love' and a message.
This is my all time favorite song!♥️♥️♥️ I play it so much that my 12 year son loves this song😁
Best hip-hop love song Eva!!!
this is why i love rap. It takes some talent to combine rhythm and rhyme together.
THAT is a real man.
