LL, part II

Incidentally, in addition to the greatest rap hit in history in "Mama Said Knock You Out," LL Cool J also has the greatest song about infidelity, ever. "Big Ol' Butt," from 1988's "Walking With A Panther" album, finds LL rapping about messing around on his girlfriend, then rationalizing it as follows:

Tina got a big ol' butt
I know I told you I'd be true
But Brenda got a big ol' butt
So I'm leaving you

If it's good enough for LL, it's good enough for me. Kidding! But things go on in this vein for three verses - he cheated on his original (unnamed) girl with Tina, then he cheated on Tina with Brenda, and then on Brenda with Lisa, who was apparently a co-worker of Brenda's at Red Lobster, but LL forgot.

That's three infidelities in one song. LL set the bar high, didn't he?
