LL COOL J

'GOAT'
[Def Jam]

7.5

He may not be the Greatest of alltime.. but he's back..

A solid album from LL. It's much better then his last one. His rhymes are more potent and he brings to life the style that has made him a Hip Hop icon.. LL raps for the ladies with a combination of enticing rhymes and commercial yet seductive songs..Stand out tracks include;'You And Me' which is a cool ass love song featuring songstress Kelly Price. Another cut is 'U Can't Fuck With Me'. Here LL brings some west coast heat with some Cali soldiers Snoop Dogg, Xzibit and Jayo Felony. Plus LL heats up on actor Jamie Foxx. Amil adds some much neede flava on a song called 'Hello'. Also on point is a sizzling track called 'Queens' which is an underground thugged out joint that pays tribute to LL's native hometown..Queens..
