LL Cool J – “I Need Love”

One of the most well known hip-hop ballads to ever hit the musical landscape.   “Uncle L” put forth this masterpiece over 20 years ago, and it still remains as arguably one of the best hip-hop ballads of all time.

Memorable lyrics from the song:

See what I mean I’ve changed I’m no longer
a play boy on the run I need something that’s stronger
Friendship, trust honor respect admiration
this whole experience has been such a revelation
It’s taught me love and how to be a real man
to always be considerate and do all I can
Protect you you’re my lady and you mean so much
my body tingles all over from the slightest touch (© LL Cool J)
