'''James Todd Smith''' (born [[January 14]], [[1968]]), better known as '''LL Cool J''', is an [[United States|American]] [[hip hop music|hip hop]] rapper and actor. LL Cool J stands for "Ladies Love Cool James." He is known for romantic ballads such as "[[I Need Love]]" and "[[Hey Lover]]" as well as pioneering hip-hop like "I Can't Live Without My Radio", "I'm Bad", "Boomin' System", "[[Mama Said Knock You Out]]", and "[[4, 3, 2, 1]]". L has also appeared in several films. LL Cool J is one of a few hip-hop stars of his era to sustain a successful recording career for more than two decades. He has released 12 albums and a greatest hits compilation so far, with his next album, ''[[Exit 13]]'', set to be released early 2008. The album will be the last for LL's record deal with [[Def Jam Recordings]], a deal which has lasted for over twenty two years, making it the longest single hip hop deal [[as of 2007|to date]]. He now resides in [[Manhasset, NY]] with his wife and four children.<ref>http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_home.php?artist_id=202 Offical Site @ Def Jam</ref>
He has achieved significant commercial success as a rapper, with record sales of over 15 million {{Fact|date=June 2008}} in the U.S. alone.
==Early life==
{{Unreferencedsection|date=June 2008}}
He was born '''James Todd Smith''' in the working-class neighborhood of [[St. Albans, Queens]], and raised between there and [[Bay Shore, New York]] on [[Long Island]], the only child of Ondrea ([[married and maiden names|née]] Griffith) and James Smith, Jr. He spent his youth singing in the church choir, participating in the [[Scouting in New York|Boy Scouts]] and [[paperboy|delivering newspapers]].
==Music career==
===''Radio'' (1985)===
{{main|Radio (LL Cool J album)}}
''[[Radio (LL Cool J album)|Radio]]'' was released to critical acclaim, as LL Cool J was one of the first rappers to use conventional song structure to make pop oriented rap.<ref>Hirschberg, Lynn. "[http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/02/magazine/02rubin.t.html The Music Man"], ''New York Times Magazine'', September 2, 2007.</ref> "I Can't Live Without My Radio" and "Rock the Bells" were successful and helped the album go platinum.
===''Bigger and Deffer'' (1987)===
In 1987, he released ''[[Bigger and Deffer]]''. The ballad "I Need Love" was one of the first hit pop-rap songs. Also featured on the album was "Go Cut Creator Go," which pays homage to the DJ. The album was met with commercial and critical acclaim going 2x Platinum. In 1998, The Source Magazine named it as one of the top 100 albums ever. At this point LL was on top of the rap world, and was making frequent appearances on television shows and on radio as he was being featured on other Def Jam artists' work.
"I Need Love" was the second single from LL Cool J's second album, Bigger and Deffer. The song is considered the first rap ballad and was released in the fall of 1987. It reached #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop charts and was a well-received single on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, reaching #14, while becoming one of the first rap songs to enjoy mainstream popularity in the UK, reaching #8 in the UK Singles Chart. The single won a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap - Single in 1987. The song was parodied in 2000 by Brooklyn rapper [[Necro]] in his song "I Need Drugs", which alters the lyrics to a narrative of a man's addiction to crack cocaine. The song ranked #13 on the 100 Greatest Rap Songs.
===''Walking with a Panther'' (1989)===
LL Cool J would return in 1989 with his third album, ''[[Walking with a Panther]].'' The album featured the hit singles
"[[Going Back to Cali (LL Cool J song)|Going Back to Cali]],"
"[[I'm That Type of Guy]]," "[[Jingling Baby]]," and "[[Big Ole Butt]]." The album was a commercial success. This album came out during a time that the [[West Coast hip hop]] scene was beginning to really become popular and its gangsta themes were dominating radio. Despite this, the album went platinum.
=="Don't call it a comeback"==
Around the late 1980s, hip hop began experiencing a shift in consciousness away from the music's early themes of partying and braggadocio, to more socially aware issues such as drug abuse, race and racism, and economic empowerment.{{Fact|date=May 2007}} LL Cool J, as a result, experienced a drop in popularity due to the view that his music was behind the times and materialistic.
===''Mama Said Knock You Out'' (1990)===
Following this, LL released ''[[Mama Said Knock You Out]]'', generally leaning towards a tough street image. The record reestablished his reputation in the hip-hop community. It spawned three hit singles, "The Boomin' System," "Around the Way Girl," and the title track, which received special notice after LL Cool J's dynamic performance of it during an episode of ''[[MTV Unplugged]]''. It was also featured in the film ''[[The Hard Way (1991 film)|The Hard Way]]''. The album included themes of police misconduct ([[Illegal Search]]), spirituality ([[Power of God]]), his career troubles ("Cheesy Rat Blues"), along with back-to-basics hip-hop party rocking and balladry ("Around the Way Girl"). ''Mama Said...'' eventually went on to sell over two million copies. It marked the first of many self-reinventions LL Cool J would undergo to adapt to hip-hop's often changing atmosphere.
===''14 Shots to the Dome'' (1993)===
''[[14 Shots to the Dome]]'' was LL's fifth album. The album had three singles ("How I'm Comin'", "Back Seat" and the strangely titled "Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Getting Crushed by Buildings") and guest-featured labelmates [[Lords of the Underground]] on "NFA-No Frontin' Allowed". The album was considered a commercial failure. Fans turned a deaf ear because of its lack of a pop song or a lack of a single being released. The album still managed to certify plantinum.
===''Mr. Smith'' (1995)===
After acting in ''[[The Hard Way (1991 film)|The Hard Way]]'' and ''[[Toys (movie)|Toys]]'', he released ''[[14 Shots To The Dome]]'' (1993) to muted sales and mixed reviews, despite producing the small hit "Back Seat of My Jeep." He starred in ''[[In the House]]'', an [[NBC]] [[sitcom]], before releasing ''[[Mr. Smith (album)|Mr. Smith]]'' (1995), which went on to sell over two million copies. Its singles, "Doin' It" and "Loungin", were two of the biggest songs in 1996 and both songs' [[music videos]] were hugely successful on [[MTV]]. Another of the album's singles, "Hey Lover", featured [[Boyz II Men]] sampling [[Michael Jackson]]'s "[[The Lady in My Life]]," which eventually became one of the first hip hop music videos to air on American [[VH1]]. The song also earned LL a [[Grammy Award]]. Yet another single from the album, "I Shot Ya Remix", is notable for providing the opportunity for upcoming rapper [[Foxy Brown (rapper)|Foxy Brown]] to start her career.
==Life after "Mr. Smith"==
===''Phenomenon'' and Beef with Canibus (1997)===
After the double [[platinum]] success of "Mr. Smith", LL began work on his next album. In [[1997]], he released the album ''[[Phenomenon (LL Cool J album)|Phenomenon]]''. The first single, "[[Phenomenon (song)|Phenomenon]]" as well as the [[autobiographical]] "Father" were minor hits. The official second single from ''[[Phenomenon (LL Cool J album)|Phenomenon]]'' was "4, 3, 2, 1," which featured [[Method Man]], [[Redman (rapper)|Redman]] and introducing [[DMX (rapper)|DMX]] and [[Canibus]]. In the original version of the song, Canibus rapped "Yo L, is that a mic on your arm? Lemme borrow that", referring to LL's [[tattoo]] of a microphone on his arm. LL heard the verse, interpreted it as a diss, and responded to it with his own verse. This essentially created a battle between two MCs in the same song. In an attempt to calm tension, LL later called Canibus to say he saw the line as disrespect, and asked him to change it, to which Canibus complied. LL did not remove his verse, believing that with Canibus' verse gone no one would know who he was referring to in his verse. However, the original version of the song was leaked to the public. This would set up a [[Hip hop rivalries#LL Cool J vs. Canibus|rivalry]]. Canibus released his single "Second Round K.O.", containing lyrics dissing LL, who later responded with "Ripper Strikes Back." In this song he not only dissed [[Wyclef Jean|Wyclef]], Canibus' producer, but went on to berate ex-friend [[Mike Tyson]] for appearing on "Second Round K.O." LL did another diss, with "Back Where I Belong" featuring [[Ja Rule]]. Canibus replied to both tracks with his "Rip the Jacker" using LL's "I'm Bad" backing track.
===''G.O.A.T.'' (2000)===
In [[2000]], he released the album ''[[G.O.A.T.]]'', which stood for the "greatest of all time." It debuted at number one on the Billboard album charts<ref>http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/bio/index.jsp?pid=78164</ref>, giving him his first chart-topper on that chart. The album produce the numbers of LL's previous releases going platinum. The album featured the infamous diss record "Back Where I Belong," featuring [[Ja Rule]]. Ironically, LL thanked Canibus in the linear notes of the album, "for the inspiration".
===''10'' (2002)===
Cool J's next album ''[[10 (LL Cool J album)|10]]'' from [[2002]], which denoted LL's 10th studio album, did fare much better than his 9th. Although it included the popular singles "[[Paradise (song)|Paradise]]" (featuring [[Amerie]]), "[[Luv U Better]]," and the hit 2003 [[Jennifer Lopez]] duet, "[[All I Have (song)|All I Have]]," the album reached platinum status.
===''The DEFinition'' (2004)===
LL's eleventh album ''[[The DEFinition]]'' was released on August 31, 2004. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts. Production came from [[Timbaland]], [[7 Aurelius]], [[R. Kelly]], and others. The lead single was the Timbaland-produced "Headsprung," which peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100<ref>http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?JSESSIONID=J1mkLjKCHfkyBFbJL9qLzKFHkpbJsc9jjMDcf2hq5HhGyk4nW8Sn!-1461580446&model.vnuArtistId=78164&model.vnuAlbumId=1156934</ref>. The second single was the [[7 Aurelius]]-produced, "Hush," which peaked at #26 on the Billboard Hot 100<ref>http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?JSESSIONID=J1mkLjKCHfkyBFbJL9qLzKFHkpbJsc9jjMDcf2hq5HhGyk4nW8Sn!-1461580446&model.vnuArtistId=78164&model.vnuAlbumId=1156934</ref>. The album sold well and went plantinum.{{Fact|date=June 2008}}
===''Todd Smith'' (2006)===
LL's latest studio album, ''[[Todd Smith]]'', was released on [[April 11]], [[2006]]. It includes collaborations with [[112 (band)|112]], [[Ginuwine]], [[Juelz Santana]], [[Teairra Mari]] and [[Freeway (rapper)|Freeway]]. The first single was the [[Jermaine Dupri]] produced "Control Myself," another song with singer [[Jennifer Lopez|Jennifer "J-Lo" Lopez]]. Cool J and J.Lo shot the video for "[[Control Myself]]" on [[January 2]], [[2006]] at Sony Studios, [[New York]]. The second video, directed by [[Hype Williams]], was "Freeze" featuring [[Lyfe Jennings]]. The album didn't perform well as some of its predecessors. LL has shifted the blame of the disappointing album on his own lack of focus in addition to Def Jam and the former President, [[Jay-Z]].<ref>http://www.vibe.com/blog/vc/2006/09/ll_cool_j_i_think_jayz_does_a.html</ref>
===''The Return of the G.O.A.T.'' (2008)===
{{Unreferencedsection|date=July 2008}}
LL Cool J has stated a partnership with [[DJ Kay Slay]] to release [[The Return of the G.O.A.T.]] mixtape. It is LL's first mixtape of his 24 year career. The mixtape includes LL freestyling on new beats in addition to other rappers giving their rendition of classic LL songs. A track entitled "Hi Haterz" was leaked onto the internet on June 01, 2008. The song contains LL Cool J rapping over the instrumental to Maino's "[[Hi Hater]]".
===''Exit 13'' (2008)===
In [[July 2006]], LL announced details about his final album with Def Jam recordings, the only label he has ever been signed to. The album is titled ''[[Exit 13]]''. The album will reportedly be executively produced by fellow Queens rapper [[50 Cent]]. The duo have worked together previously on the remix to the single "Freeze" from the ''Todd Smith'' LP, which was titled "Bump This". ''Exit 13'' was originally slated for a fall 2006 release, however, after a 2 year delay, it will be released August 26, 2008. This is the final album left on LL's Def Jam contract. <ref>[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1535528/20060630/50_cent.jhtml?headlines=true 50 Cent, LL Cool J Teaming Up For LP - News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>He has recently released a single and video from the upcoming album called, ''Rocking With The G.O.A.T.''.<ref> [http://www.theblackspotlight.com/news/LL_Cool_J_Tells_Fans_To_Rock_With_The_Goat.html LL Cool J Tells Fans To Rock With the G.O.A.T.]</ref>
==Other works and ventures==
===Fashion===
Smith had previously dabbled in fashion, having worked behind the scenes with the mid-eighties Hip-Hop sportswear line TROOP.<ref>http://www.allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=4109</ref>
In the mid 90's, LL also helped to launch a clothing line named [[FUBU]] — an acronym for "For Us, By Us", meaning the clothes were made for, and marketed to, African-Americans by African-Americans. LL was a spokesperson for the brand in addition to being a model for the clothing. Unbeknownst to many, LL was also part owner of [[FUBU]] as well.
LL Cool J launched a clothing line (also called [[Todd Smith]]). The initial concept of the brand seemed to focus toward towards the higher end of the market with a less expensive brand called "T.S". The aim of marketing for the clothes line is to be oriented towards the clothing rather than LL Cool J. It now seems that the brand has shifted to quality urban apparel. [http://www.toddsmithny.com]
===Modelling===
LL Cool J is featured on the front cover of the August 2008 Men's Fitness magazine. The magazine article concentrates on LL's fitness regime.<ref>http://www.taletela.com/news/44/ll-cool-j-features-on-mens-fitness-cover</ref>

LL has since founded another record label, "Platinum Harvest," and also signing a 15 year old rapper named, Nicolette. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005112/news] In the midst of his controversial comments concerning then-Def Jam President [[Jay-Z]], LL admitted that he was once part owner of Def Jam but has since sold his ownership. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taQqkXTiUIw] He was offered the role as President of Def Jam, but he reportedly turned down the position 10 years ago (as of year 2007) based on his belief that he was not qualified enough.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z26YrZM6fHE]
===Acting career===
LL has had his share of acting roles and cameos in various television shows and movies.
