LL Cool J - All World: Greatest Hits

All World: Greatest Hits

This is a great collection of LL's songs from the 80s to the mid 90s. I always favor the old school 80s songs more then the 90s songs on collections. 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 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.
