LL Cool J - All World: Greatest Hits

All World: Greatest Hits

This is a great collection of his songs from the 80s to the mid 90s. I always favor the old school songs more on collections that cover the 80s and 90s. My favorite songs are "I Can't Live Without My Radio", "Rock the Bells", "I'm Bad", "Going Back to Cali", and "I Need a Beat. "I Need Love" is a really good rap ballad from 1987. This was played on many radio stations that did not even play rap music. "Doin' It" is a good 90s song.
