DEAR Y-VETTE!This song will forever remind me of my oldest friend, Scott. We grew up across the street from each other, and in the mid-80s, he had this weird little Panasonic cassette player that was shaped kinda like the CBS eye logo. He carried it with him everywhere in the summer and it seems like it was always playing "Radio", "Licensed to Ill" or Motley Crue "Shout at the Devil" (nothing wrong with that at all). Did I mention that said cassette player was beige? 'Cause it was.

Well, there's probably also the fact that after a while, the luva luva act that Cool J uses goes from "overwhelm them with my playboy charm" to Chris Rock's fabled "guy who's too old to be in the club."
Basically, if there's a male version of a cougar, then that's what LL has become.
I think he's been happily wifed-up for a minute and is only the old guy in the club when it's for a video.
As terdlicious as his carrer has been in the past decade (!?!??!?!), dude is still an awesome performer and can still handle his classics ,live, as if he just recorded them.
but him being painted in silver and sprinkles for the "Phenomenomn" video is memorable for all the wrong reasons .
The one Oliver memorably attempted to hype this song up when it came out.
They're so bad baby you might have to skip outta town
There's a handful of tracks on this i can mess w/.
See something's smelling fishy, and they say that it's you.
