Wow wow. “Pots & pans, grits & gravy, y’all ready baby?” Um, no. Absurdly good performance, L *destroys* unplugged, incredible, explosive energy.

I think they had to cancel “Unplugged” after this, it just imploded under the weight of the semantic contradiction introduced by L’s electric fucking performance.
LL Cool J, Mama Said Knock You Out
MTV Unplugged 1991. 5 of the greatest live music minutes ever.
