Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years I'm rocking my peers, putting suckas in fear - Mama Said Knock You Out   Next album up: Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J.  People thought LL went soft after Walking with a Panther dropped.  His grandmother told him to knock the critics out on the next one. Is it a classic?

For the first time in Rap Rankings history, Moulz & Mel are reviewing an album released before either of them were born, and the honor goes to LL Cool J's groundbreaking 1985 debut, Radio.

Billy Danze joins the show to discuss the legendary "Ante Up (Remix)" by M.O.P. featuring Teflon, Remy Ma, & Busta Rhymes.

Live Session with DJ EFN, co-host and co-creator of the world-famous Drink Champs podcast. In this conversation we discuss his celebrated docu-series "Coming Home" which was just picked up for rebroadcast by LL Cool J's Rock The Bells and includes two all-new episodes. The first four episodes of the series were originally broadcast on Revolt TV. We also discussed the evolving perception of the American Hip Hop culture in other countries that have traditionally looked to this side of the pond for direction for the global community of the genre. DJ EFN and crew documented their experiences in Cuba, Peru, Viet Nam, South Africa, and more. One of the dopest conversations I've had this year!
