LL's Loveliest Bit of Self-Description on "I'm The Type Of Guy"

I'm the type of guy who picks her up from work early, takes her to breakfast... lunch... dinner and breakfast

This is like one of the best lines in the history of rap, n o l i e

I'm the type of guy to cold put on a pamper

Er...

[Removed Illegal Link]

I don't know why it was an illegal link, it was from a legit Oklahoma newspaper!

Then again,

An Oklahoma City man admitted conning baby sitters by posing as an autistic and wearing diapers, police said. He said “all of these acts were for a sexual purpose,” police report.

pudding is delicious

fucking love this song - one of the best moments of my 2010 was seeing moodymann drop this in the middle of his sónar set

"defrost it and season it" btw

Fantastic song. And there are a ton of great songs on this album - don't know why it got shit on by critics at the time.

i saw buck 65 cover this

why the hell was this omitted from '96 comp?

don't know why it got shit on by critics at the time.

I really liked the album at the time, but it's got a lot of filler with a hodgepodge of stuff from diff periods. plus straight outta compton and three feet high & rising had happened in the lull between bad and walking with a panther. 2 years doesn't seem like a long time but when it finally dropped it was way out of step with what was going on in rap, even though the singles all did really well.

in 1989 this was NAGL

track sequencing on WWAP sucks too

nation of millions, too

yeah

wish i could vote for the look on his face in that pic.

this is an awesome jam but I don't think LL gave a damn about the motherland

I wish I could vote for the look on the PANTHER's face! The poor thing is so let down by its situation. People should start shopping it next to disappointed_fat_joe.psd on mixtape covers.

Whiney OTM, especially adding the ellipses, but the "eat it when he won't" line was so refreshing to me as a kid next to things like Nobody Move and Jane 3 that it gets my vote

"I'm doing your girlfiend" (mostly because of the way he says it rather than the actual line), although there aren't a lot of wrong answers here.

his delivery is great on every line

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

@lurch321 Bill Cosby thought pudding was delicious

He too was that type of guy

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

T-Y-P-E G-U-Y, he's that type of guy.

Missed this! I loved this album too, but it probably helped that I caught up to the first one late, bought it in '88.

This is one of those songs that I heard exactly once, on MTV2 like nine years ago and I still remember the way he says "I'm that type of guy...". I should go listen to it, I guess, but that also tells you what a great delivery dude had.

Keep misreading thread title as "loveliest bit of self-deception" which sort of changes the flavor though.

I was searching for an ilx thread about description and found this instead
Would have voted I'm the type of guy to cold put on a pamper because it's the most pointedly descriptive imo

I love this song so much.

I'm fairly sure I voted for defrost it and season it.
