Yesterday at the opening day of the Taste of Chicago, LL Cool J blessed us with his presence.  L-Boogie (Lauryn Hill) was SUPPOSED to be the act, but for whatever reasons she cancelled. And we were NOT mad. LL was one HELLUVA replacement.

He did a bunch of classics (Rock the Bells, I'm Bad, Radio) and he did some of his new stuff, too. But aside from his handsomeness, I also noticed that he can outperform MANY of these so called 'rappers' from the new school.  He did an amazing job, and his performance confirmed for me that I old school hip hop is the SHIZNIT!!!
