Throwback Thursdays: L.L. Cool J

DateThursday, May 19, 2011 at 8:45AM

James Todd Smith (a.k.a. L.L. Cool J)........a far cry from NCIS.

I remember seeing this on Friday Night Videos.  He was 18 years old here.  I was 14.  I love how the video has an anti-drug message - but the song is 100% badass braggadocio.  Also, I'm pretty sure I would have been a good "jacket holder".  Seems like an easy job.
