11. "LL Cool J's "14 Shots to the Dome""
In response to In response to 0

  

          

Though I guess some would say "Walking With a Panther," but I feel like that album gets a bad rap.

After going back to basics with "Mama Said..." he got waaaaaay into excess with "14 Shots..." and did way too much. Tried kicking hardcore gangsta shit. Multiple attempts to recreate the success of "Around the Way Girl." And "Crossroads," with its full orchestra is just overblown nonsense.
