LL Cool J - "Ain't Nobody"

[A Thug Named Slickback]

James Todd Smith scored his only UK #1 hit with this song in 1997. But I've never quite understood why it semi-flopped in the USA (Hot 100: #46, R&B/Hip-Hop: #27) -- especially since it came on the heels of three of his biggest hits: "Hey Lover," "Doin' It," and "Loungin'."

This song was pretty much the same formula as the previous hits: Incredible beat, heavy sample, and hypersexual lyrics. Actually, maybe that's exactly why it flopped. LOL!

Anyway, I thought this was a really fun, if unoriginal, record. I also really liked it because I'm a huge fan of the original Rufus & Chaka Khan song.

This song came from the Beavis And Butt-Head Do America soundtrack... So don't be alarmed when you see them in the video.

This must be the most forgotten #1 in UK chart history. It came out in a VERY slow week. I bet most people here don't know it at all, apart from the sample.

not to mention it's a horrible remake/sample. the original Chaka/Rufus song is untouchable.

Eh, you might as well go listen to the song it samples. Not one of his best at all.
