This is a Fan Made Unofficial Video i made for LL Cool J Song: Rock the Bells
James Todd Smith (born January 14, 1968), known professionally as LL Cool J ( Ladies Love Cool James), is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and actor.
He is one of the earliest rappers to achieve commercial success, alongside fellow new school hip hop acts Beastie Boys and Run-DMC.
Signed to Russell Simmons & Def Jam Recordings in 1984, LL Cool J’s breakthrough came with his single “I Need a Beat“ and his landmark debut album, Radio (1985).
“Rock the Bells“ is the third single from LL Cool J’s debut album, Radio. It was released in 1985 for Def Jam Recordings, was written by LL Cool J and produced by Rick Rubin.
It was the follow-up to “I Can Give You More“. “Rock the Bells“ peaked at #17 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Despite the song’s title, no bells can be heard in the album recording.
The original version of the song, riddled with bells of various types including a cowbell, is 7 minutes and 11 seconds long and was only released on 12 inch vinyl.
It was based on the 1982 song “Breaking Bells“ by Crash Crew.
The song was later sampled by LL Cool J himself for his song “Mama Said Knock You Out“, from his album of the same name.
The intro was famously parodied by English footballer John Barnes for his 1988 single “Anfield Rap“.
The song also featured in the 2002 video game Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX 2, the 2006 game Scarface: The World is Yours, the 2008 game Skate It and 2009’s Skate 2.
The song was also used in the video game DJ Hero in which it was mixed with The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony“.
The song was later featured on LL Cool J’s compilation album All World: Greatest Hits.
The song was also used on Smith’s own channel Rock the Bells Radio (formerly Back Spin) for Sirius XM.
Lyrics:
LL Cool J is hard as hell
Battle anybody, I don’t care who you tell
I excel, they all fell
I’m gonna crack shells, Double-L must rock the bells
You’ve been waitin’ and debatin’ for oh so long
Just starvin’ like Marvin for a Cool J song
If you cried and thought I died, you definitely was wrong
It took a thought, plus I brought Cut Creator along
Evened up with E-Love down with the Cool J force
Specializin’ in the rhymin’ for the record of course
I’m a tower full of power, wind, rain and hail
Cut Creator scratch the record with his fingernail
Rock the bells!
The king of crowd rockers finally is back
My voice is your choice as the hottest wax
True as a wizard, just a blizzard, who ain’t taken no crap
I’m rhymin’ and designin’ with your girl in my lap
The bass is kickin’ always stickin’ ’cause you like it that way
You think it’s fresh and plus it’s def because it’s by Cool J
Cut Creator on the fader, my right-hand man
We rock the bells so very well ’cause that’s the name of this jam
Rock the bells!
Some girls will like this jam and some girls won’t
’Cause I make a lot of money and your boyfriend don’t
LL went to hell, gonna rock the bells
All you washed up rappers wanna do this well
Rock the bells!
Now I’m world-wide known, whether you like it or not
My one man band is Cut Creator, . Philpot
He’ll never skip it, only rip it when he’s on the fader
What’s my DJ’s name? (Cut Creator!)
Now you know, at my show, who’s on the wheels
He’ll drive the cross fader like a cut mobile
So precise with a slice that you know he’s greater
What’s my DJ’s name? (Cut Creator!)
Now you know, what do you know, Earl rolls the weed
I go to the store and get Old Gold
So all you crabby lookin’ nappy headed girls get back
’Cause there’s a ten-to-one chance that you might get smacked
Rock the bells!
The bells are circulatin’ like the blood in your veins
Why are girlies on the tip? (LL’s your name!)
Cut Creator’s (good), Cool J is (good-good)
You bring the wood pecker, I’ll bring the wood
The bells are whippin’ and rippin’ at your body and soul
Why do you like Cool J? (It ain’t rock and roll!)
’Cause it ain’t the glory days with Bruce Springsteen
I’m not a virgin so I know I’ll make Madonna scream
You hated Michael and Prince all the way, ever since
If their beats were made of meat, then they would have to be mince
Rock the bells!
So listen to the rhymes align the rhyme on time
He’ll cut the record in a second, make your DJ look blind
So all you Jheri Curl suckers wearin’ high-heel boots
Like ballerinas, what I mean is you’re a fruit-loop troop
All you gonna-be(s), wanna-be(s), when will you learn?
Wanna be like Cool J, you gotta wait your turn
Some suckers don’t like me, but I’m not concerned
Six G’s for twenty minutes is the pay I earn
I’m growin’ and glowin’ like a forest blaze
Do you like Michael Jackson? (We like Cool J!)
That’s right, I’m on the mic with the help of the bells
There’s no delayin’ what I’m sayin’ as I’m rockin’ you well
Rock the bells!
