The thought that.... even when the shyt was out and the singles were dropping.... the thought that LL Cool J dropped something like Mr. Smith was fukking crazy.
Hey lover dropped, had nikkas madder than a motherfukker. "if his love real he gotta handle competition. ANd you only knew him 5 months. Plus he drink too much. And smoke too many blunts. And I be working out every day, thinking bout you.
"
Doin' It
Loungin remix..... I don't care if you ain't heard it in years. Play that shyt when the sun going down and you about to go out somewhere. God forbid your girl doing makeup in the mirror with the bathroom door open. I damn near teared up just thinking about it.
I Shot Ya remix.... These rappers coming on and burning the shyt up.... then LL coming on and talking shyt to the nikkas he on the track with
Like damn.... this old nikka really dropped an album like this and he came out in like 1985!?
then.... I remember him collecting some award and looking coked up.... No, I don't remember which one is was. he had a white escort looking broad on either side of him. Not no famous broads. He gave some wack, rambling speech and at the end he was like "
PHENOMENON! PHENOMENON!!!!!
" for no reason at all. Whole audience did this awkward golf clap.
Phenomenon single dropped a few months after. shyt was wack. It went platinum, yeah. But what didn't go gold or platinum back then? It was a wrap.
They never shoulda tried to repackage a HUGELY successful repackage.
He never recovered.
