Rock The Bells Radio playlist

[Channel98]

SiriusXM's classic hip-hop channel Rock The Bells Radio is curated by LL Cool J – James Todd Smith's stage name means "Ladies Love Cool James" – and named for his hit Rock The Bells, which reached #17 on Billboard's R&B chart in June 1986. And what beautiful lyrics: "Some girls will like this jam and some girls won't, 'cause I make a lot of money and your boyfriend don't. LL went to hell, gonna rock the bells; all you washed-up rappers wanna do this well." Here is a 240-song sample of the playlist. Chart positions are from the Billboard R&B chart.

I liked the station better when it was Backspin, better playlist for sure. But I still listen to a song here or there on this one.

 

[geosync]

Ya I liked backspin better. Some of the ll cool j bits are cool. The mr. cee show is pretty banging. But the biz marky show is kinda wack. I still miss the joint, but the top 500 on 42 is all right. Still waiting for my wu tang channel.

[Madison]

The name Kind've sounds like a Holiday channel

 

[HecticArt]

It sounds like a Christmas station to me.

 

[sadchild]

Some of the ll cool j bits are cool.

Agreed! But the music on Backspin was better. Strictly old school. None of this going from Sugarhill Gang into Lil Jon or Jay-Z.

 

[geosync]

It's 2022, where's my wu tang channel?!?!? Lots more material than eminem. More better material than ll cool j.

 

[geosync]

Guess who attended the new york state of mind tour at the hollywood bowl on tuesday???

[sadchild]

LL COOL J, Jadakiss & Mary J. Blige Join Wu-Tang Clan & Nas For N.Y. State Of Mind Tour

I'm a big LL fan. The rest not so much.
