This week's vid comes from that piece of sexual chocolate otherwise known as LL Cool J.
"Around the Way Girl," the first single from 1990's Mama Said Knock You Out, has long been overlooked in favor of this album's title track, older stuff like "Going Back to Cali" and "I Need Love" (barf), and even newer tunes like "Doin' It." But it's still my favorite LL tune. I think it was the first rap song that I was ever able to rap along with, word for muthahumpin' word. And I think Cool James gave me my first case of jungle fever...unless I count Michael Jackson. But I won't, because I'm not sure that crush really applies.

I didn't know it then, but yes, baby it was jungle fever.
I'd still do 'im.
Thanks dredging that one up for me. I love this.
Word Ver: nughts. Nuts, indeed, Word Ver.
Thank you for confirming that I made the right choice in a mate, and thanks to Cool J for putting it in music.

For my money, "Mama Said Knock You Out" is the best rap song ever.
Jungle fever is HOT! LL is sooo COOL!
