LL Cool J: Bigger And Deffer (BAD) (1987)
This record features what has been labelled the first commercial rap ballad. I object to the use of the word ballad to mean a slow song. That's not the original meaning of ballad. Also, I am not a fan of love ballads, and I Need Love is simply boring. But, whatever.
On the other hand, I was a big fan of the show S.W.A.T., so I'm Bad had some resonance.
