MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released in late February of 1991…
by April 30th…
this one was still going strong.

LL Cool J – “Mama Said Knock You Out.”

(Music Cut #2)

Before this…

LL was getting booed at shows –
too many love songs.

So this wasn’t just a hit.

It was a comeback.

And the push behind it?

Grandma.

(Music Cut #3)

LL was in his grandmother’s basement…
complaining about all the criticism –

when she snapped:

“Just knock ’em out!”

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Don’t you dare stare
You better move
Don’t ever compare
Me to the rest.” – L.L. Cool J
