LL Cool J’s Bigger And Deffer, the only tape remaining in my collection from Me: The Cosby Years. It wasn’t the first tape I ever bought– that honor goes to The Hooters’ Nervous Night — but it was the first tape for which I developed a corresponding choreography. May have had something to do with its purchase coinciding with my first room that had a lock on the door. This is the same room in which I used to try 360º Nerf Hoops dunks on my brother and he’d forearm me into the door, tearing huge holes in my 6 ft. poster of Michael Jordan dunking on Kenny “Sky” Walker. I also had this one. Funny how much I loved Jordan as a kid but then annoyed Brendan in high school by saying Bird was superior just because Jordan was his favorite player. I like to argue. Anyway, this tape is still awesome. I’m listening to it right now, and LL just called himself the “ninja of rap.” Brendan is a ninja of some sort, as well.
