Mama Said Knock You Out is the fourth studio album by LL Cool J, originally released in 1990. It is seen as a third classic in LL's catalog by fans and critics alike. The album spawned four hit singles: "The Boomin' System," "Around The Way Girl," (which sampled clips from the Mary Jane Girls song "All Night Long"), the hard-hitting title track itself (which received special notice after LL Cool J's dynamic full-live-band performance of it - unusual for rap performers/performances at the time - during an episode of MTV's Unplugged), and "6 Minutes Of Pleasure."
