Chapter 7d- A letter to L.L.Cool J
Dear Mr. Cool J,
I was flipping through tv stations on commercial break of the Angelina Jolie interview (yeah, I know she's hot) on Good Morning America (I think), when I happen to fall upon your newest music video. First off I'd like to congratulate you as I wasn't aware you were trying to make a come back. Did your momma knock you out too many times for being lazy all day in between movie rolls, and tell you to get your butt back into the studio? Your momma's a good woman. While watching this latest visual creation of yours a few questions popped up in my mind that I would like to ask you.
#1) & #2) How old are you really? and how old do you intend to look?
When there was a brighter light on your face you looked as if you could have passed for a twenty- something year old. But when darker lights if your face you would rapidly transform into some 40 year old looking dude. I know you wouldn't want to trick the younger audience who don't know you as well into thinking your twenty something, 'cause that just wouldn't work. And I know you don't want to look 40 something either, 'cause age is a key factor in the music industry. But considering you've already made it, I suppose you can do what you wish age wise. You might want to choose one look over the other though. Two looks may confuse people.
#3) You're rockin' the usually female hip hop dancer that everyone's got these day. They do a fine job of shakin' their booty or whatever they are suppose to be doing. My question is that when you get to the line of the chorus that refers to "banging your head against the wall"...or something to that effect. They all start head banging. But hip hop head banding dancers just look like they are have epileptic seizures. So are they hip hopping or head banging?
If you are trying to infuse metal into hip hop, I hate to break it to you, but it's already been poorly attempted. Perhaps you missed this when you were going through your movie phase. It's understandable...just thought I'd let you know.
Thanks for your time.

P.S. The location for your video looked like it was it had warm sunny weather. My house is very cold, and my dog is curled up in a ball at my feet. Would you mind sending some of that warmth to my dog and I? I can give you my address is you need it.
