Release Date: 1985
Label: Def Jam

LL Cool J radio was the first record I owned. I was given it to me by an older friend of mine, Mike Linn when I was in the fourth grade. I didn't know that much about LL (knew about his label mates Run DMC and the Beastie Boys) but this was his debut album, and I was in the 4th grade. It was hard to find out about New York Hip-Hop in Sacramento in the mid-80's. Let alone for a 4th grader, but there I was, shiny new wax of "Radio".

The track listing is amazing. Truly a work of art from producer Rick Rubin. Sometimes this album is overshadowed by Raising Hell and License to Ill. But this album was about one guy, one DJ and a lot of samples. ]]> http://danliveshere.com/2010/05/04/ll-cool-j-radio-my-first-record-yes-record/ http://danliveshere.com/2009/05/07/my-video-interview-on-the-row-show/ http://danliveshere.com/2009/04/29/usa-today-article/ http://danliveshere.com/2009/04/20/this-fatboy-is-always-good-for-presentations/ http://danliveshere.com/2008/08/07/not-big-into-tag-clouds-but-i-do-like-wordle/ http://danliveshere.com/2008/06/20/innovative-approachdesign-to-blogging/ http://danliveshere.com/2008/06/05/social-design-blog-bokardocom/ http://danliveshere.com/2008/04/18/oh-where-is-the-new-music/ http://danliveshere.com/2008/04/10/mobile-social-networking/
