LL Cool J is known to have two distinct personalities: the battle-ready MC who took on foes like Canibus and Kool Moe Dee, and the smooth heartthrob. As you go deeper into his catalog, these qualities become even more potent. On the one hand, you have the rapid-fire rhymes of “Mr. Smith” and braggadocio of “Wanna Get Paid.” But then there’s the sexy, New Edition-sampling “Candy,” reinforcing his status as rap’s resident loverboy.
