Let’s just face the facts, LL Cool J is the original Drake. James was the biggest sex icon in Hip-Hop for a long time and he had the range to go from “Radio” to “I Need Love” and back again. How many R&B singles did Cool J have? “Loungin (Who Do U Luv),” “Around The Way Girl,” “Doin It” and the list goes on.
If Drake re-worked that “Hey Lover” beat and really attacked it like we all know he’s capable of? Shit might be a fucking problem. It’s been 15 years anyway, none of these kids remember the track at this point.
