ʻO ka mea mele kaulana ʻAmelika ʻo LL COOL J, ʻo James Todd Smith ka inoa maoli. Hānau ʻia ʻo Ianuali 14, 1968 ma New York. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻelele mua o ka honua o ke ʻano mele hip-hop.
ʻO ka inoa inoa he mana pōkole o ka huaʻōlelo "Ladies love tough James".
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio o James Todd Smith
I ka piha ʻana o ke keiki i 4 mau makahiki, ua kaʻawale kona mau mākua, a waiho i ke keiki e hānai ʻia e kona mau kūpuna. Ua makemake ʻo James i ka rap i ka makahiki 9.
I ka piha ʻana o kona mau makahiki he 11, ua lilo ʻo ia i alakaʻi no kahi hui o nā hoa i makemake i ka mea like. I ka makahiki 13, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo James i nā demos ma ka home ma nā mea ʻoluʻolu i hāʻawi ʻia e kona kupuna kāne. Ua kākoʻo ʻo kupuna kāne i kāna moʻopuna aloha ma nā mea a pau.
ʻAʻole i kaupalena ka ʻōpio iā ia iho i kēia a hoʻouna ʻo ia i kāna mau mele i nā hui liʻiliʻi i komo i ka "hoʻolaha" o nā mea hoʻokani pila. ʻAʻole i nānā nui ʻia ka rapper ʻōpio 15 makahiki a loaʻa hoʻokahi wale nō pane. ʻAʻole ia he lepili kaulana, akā ʻo Def Jan Records, ka mea i hoʻomaka i kāna hana a lilo i kaulana.
A ʻo ka album mua o James Radio he mea hoʻomaka ʻaʻole wale no ka mea pena, akā no ka lepili pū kekahi. Ua kaulana koke ka mea hoʻokahi I Need a Beat. He manaʻo maikaʻi loa nā limahana ʻōpio o ka ʻoihana no nā talena ʻōpio, ʻaʻole i kuhihewa ʻo James.
Pōmaikaʻi uila LL COOL J
Ua kūʻai maikaʻi ʻia ka disc mua a komo koke i ka papa inoa o nā haku mele hip-hop. Ua kūkākūkā ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani mele, e kapa ʻia ʻo ia ka album mua loa o kēia ʻano.
ʻAʻohe hoʻokūkū ma waena o ka poʻe rappers i ka makahiki 1980 - ʻike ka lehulehu i kekahi mea hou e like me ke ʻano.
Ua hele ka mea mele i ka huakaʻi honua i ka hui o nā mea hoʻokani pila, i hana mua i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni. ʻO kāna haku mele ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke ola me kaʻu lekiō.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka disc ʻelua ʻo LL COOL J Bigger a me Deffer i ka makahiki 1987. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka "West Coast Rap Gang". Mai ia mea i kū mai ai ka trio LA Posse, nāna i hana i ka album hou na James.
Ua loaʻa koke i ka diski mega-kaulana a loaʻa iā ia ka platinum. ʻO nā hits I'm Bad and A Need Love aia i loko o nā alakaʻi papa kiʻekiʻe 5 no ka manawa lōʻihi.
Ma hope o ia kūleʻa, "pahū" ka media, he mea nui ka nānā ʻana i ka mea pena. Ua komo ʻo ia i ka 10 mau mea kaulana loa. Ua ukali ʻia e kahi huakaʻi US 80 mau lā. Ua lilo ʻo LL COOL J i kiʻi a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana no nā mea hoʻokani pila makemake nui i koho i ka rap no lākou iho.
Hāʻawi ka poʻe kaulana o ke ao mele iā ia i ka launa pū ʻana. No ka laʻana, ua hana ka wahine mua o ʻAmelika, ʻo Nancy Reagan, i ka mea pena i ke alo o kāna waihona kālā anti-drug.
Ma hope o nā makahiki 1980 a me nā makahiki mua o 1990 Ll Cool Jay
I ka makahiki 1989, me ka hoʻololi ʻole i ke ʻano mele, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i ka album Walking with a Panther. ʻO ke kumuhana o ka hōʻino ʻana i nā kuleana o nā ʻeleʻele i hui pū ʻia me ka romanticism o nā ballads rapper. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, hāʻawi ka mea rapper i nā hana aloha ma ʻApelika.
Ua hōʻailona ʻia ka makahiki aʻe e ka hana pū ʻana me DJ Marley Marl i kāna keena hoʻopaʻa leo. ʻO ka hopena, ʻo ia ka album Mama Said Knock You Out. Aia i loko o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻehā mau mele pāʻani, kokoke i nā kūlana alakaʻi.
I ka makahiki 1991, ua ho'āʻo ka mea mele i kona lima ma ke ʻano he mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni, e hoʻokani ana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo The Hard Way. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope - i ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni Toys. Ua koho ʻo LL COOL J iā MTV e hoʻolaha i ka ʻaha mele rap mua.
Nā hana Ll Cool Jay i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka ʻōpio
Ua alakaʻi ka mea hoʻokani pila i nā hana kaiaulu, no ka laʻana, ua komo ʻo ia i kahi papahana e hoʻihoʻi i nā ʻōpio hele hewa i ke kula. Ua hoʻolaha pū ʻo ia i ka heluhelu ʻana i nā puke ma waena o ka poʻe ʻōpio a hoʻolaha i nā hale waihona puke.
Ua holomua kēia mau hoʻolaha. A laila ua lilo ʻo James i mea hoʻomaka i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi hui ʻōpio, nāna i kāhea i nā ʻōpio i makemake i ka ʻike i nā haʻuki e hui pū me lākou.
Nā hoʻokolohua a hoʻi i ke kumu LL COOL J
Ua lilo ka album 14 Shots to the Dome (1993) i hoʻokolohua. ʻO ka mea mele, i manaʻo ʻole ʻia no nā mea pā, ua lawe ʻia e ke ʻano "gangsta". ʻOiai ua hiki iā ia ke hoʻokolohua, ʻoiai he "rap shark", ʻaʻole i kaulana kēia diski.
I ka hana ʻana i ka album ʻelima i ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻoholo ka mea hoʻokani mele ʻo ia ka manawa e hoʻopau ai me nā hana hou. A ʻo Mr. Ua loaʻa koke iā Smith "platinum" a pinepine.
Nui nā James i hoʻokani i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā papahana hoʻolaha. A laila ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e hoʻopaʻa i ka pahu me kahi hoa papa mua. I nā makahiki ʻehā e hiki mai ana, ʻaʻohe mea hou i ʻike ʻia, koe wale nō ka hōʻiliʻili o nā mele kaulana loa. Akā, i ka makahiki 1997, ua hauʻoli ka mea pena i ka "fans" me ka disc Phenomenon, no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kono ai i nā mea kaulana hip-hop. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua loaʻa iā James kahi makana mai ka MTV channel, i mahalo nui i kāna mau wikiō. A laila kākau ʻo ia i ka puke autobiographical I Make My Own Rules.
Ua hoʻomau ʻia nō hoʻi ka haku mele. Ua ʻike ʻo 2000 i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album GOAT Featuring James T. Smith: The Greatest Off All Time. Ua puka mai ka ʻohi me ka manaʻo a me ka nani. Ua hōʻike ʻo ia ua kūleʻa ʻo LL COOL J ʻoiai ka puka ʻana mai o kahi helu nui o nā mea pena ʻōpio.
Aloha ʻo jay i kēia lā
I ka makahiki 2002, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi album hou "10". ʻAʻole i lilo ka diski i mea koʻikoʻi, akā ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka ʻino ma mua o nā hana ma mua. I ka makahiki 2004, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo James i ka The Definition, ka mea i hoʻopaʻa i kona kūlana hōkū i ka lani o ka rapper. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā disc ʻelua i ka makahiki 2006 a me 2008.
