''Mama Said Knock You Out'' is the fourth studio album by American rapper LL Cool J. It was produced mostly by Marley Marl and recorded at his "House of Hits" home studio in Chestnut Ridge and at Chung King House of Metal in New York City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mama Said Knock You Out )〕 After the disappointing reception of LL Cool's 1989 album ''Walking with a Panther'', ''Mama Said Knock You Out'' was released by Def Jam Recordings in 1990 to commercial and critical success.
==Release and reception==
''Mama Said Knock You Out'' was released on September 14, 1990, by Def Jam Recordings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gold & Platinum Searchable Database )〕 It was promoted with five singles, four of which became hits: "The Boomin' System," "Around the Way Girl," the title track, and "6 Minutes of Pleasure." The album was certified double platinum in the United States, having shipped two million copies.〔 According to Yahoo! Music's Frank Meyer, ''Mama Said Knock You Out'' "seemed to set the world on fire in 1990", helped by its hit title track and LL Cool J's "sweaty performance" on ''MTV Unplugged''. The title song reached number 17 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and was certified gold by the RIAA. LL Cool J won Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1992.
In ''The New York Times'', Jon Pareles wrote that ''Mama Said Knock You Out'' reestablished LL Cool J as "the most articulate of the homeboys", sounding "tougher and funnier" rapping about "crass materialism" and "simple pleasures".〔(New York Times review )〕 In Mark Cooper's review for ''Q'', he wrote, "This 22-year-old veteran has lost neither his eye for everyday detail nor his sheer relish for words."〔''Q'', November 1990〕 ''Select'' magazine's Richard Cook said, "LL's stack of samples add the icing to a cake that is all dark, remorseless rhythm, a lo-fi drum beat shadowed by a crude bass rumble. It could be Jamaican dub they're making here, if it weren't for LL's slipper lip."〔''Select'', October 1990〕 ''Mama Said Knock You Out'' was voted the ninth best record of 1990 in the Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of American critics published by ''The Village Voice''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Christgau: Pazz & Jop 1990: Critics Poll )〕
The album was included in ''Hip Hop Connections ''The phat forty'', a rundown of rap's greatest albums. "The LP's title track proved to be the single of the year and probably LL's best record since 'I'm Bad'," ''HHC'' said, "while 'Eat 'Em Up L Chill' and 'To Da Break Of Dawn' was () the sound of Cool J getting his own back – and in style."〔''Hip Hop Connection'', July 1994〕 In 1998, it was listed in The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. In 2005, comedian Chris Rock listed it as the sixth greatest hip-hop album ever in a guest article for ''Rolling Stone''.
