I noticed tonight (after Gonzaga's victory over IU - yay!) when flipping through the channels that my old fave LL Cool J was performing in concert on the Oxygen Channel. "Huh," I thought. "LL, hard as hell, and all that."
(Because, when you think of old-school rappers - and LL's been around long enough that you can call him "old school" - you think of the Oxygen Channel.)
Anyway, because he was my favorite rapper back when I still liked the stuff, I stopped and took a gander. He was yelling about something over thump-thump-thump, as is his wont - I didn't know the song, because he dropped off my radar after "Mama Said Knock You Out," about a hundred years ago. (It's the greatest rap crossover hit ever, and there was no way he or anyone could ever top it. And they still haven't.)
But here's the thing: He was dressed in a red T-shirt with some art on it, black pants, and - I swear this is true - a Texas Tech hat.
I couldn't believe it. My respect for him all those years ago has finally paid off.
I don't *think* it's one of the signs of the Apocalypse - I need to brush up on my theology - but just in case, we'd all better stock up on bottled water.
Update: P.S. Some of you might ask, "Was LL representing?"
Yes. Yes, he was.
