Eva Marie King's Hip Hop History blog

 Why Was LL Cool J born?  (blog)  Days like this make me wonder why @LLCoolJ was born  As I attended class in the Stuart Building on Jamaica Avenue in 1985-1986  I recall a young LL cutting through traffic and passing by the double-parked BMWs and Mercedes Benzs, as he and his homeboy walked into Reval Knox for the mandatory FlyGuy gear - mock necks, British Walkers, Kangols, Double-knits, Alpaca sweaters, suede fronts and Playboys.  Many years earlier in the late 1970s I witnessed a young Mr. Ness aka @ScorpioFurious5 make his way across Bronx River Avenue to the "center jams" at Bronx River Community Center.  Never in a million years did I ever dream LL Cool J would announce via social media on Tuesday, January 12, 2022 that Scorpio would be hosting his own show on LL's "Rock the Bells" radio.  This is why I loved rhyming so much as a young FlyGirl in 1977.  It was in hopes of one day seeing the movement fall in love with itself. ...
