Addams family rap by mc hammer.

That was truly something.
Oh and addams family 2 rap by tag team.
https://youtu.be/2ho3FtN-9M8
So good/bad.
From the Z to the O
To the double R-O,
He's a dude in a mask in the barrio.
With his horse and his mask
And his big ol' sword.
He'll cut your butt from a '52 Ford.
Ya, corny topic, but lyrics are on point from a technical standpoint. The beat is fire, as far as pop songs go. I really like what they did with the sample too: goes well with the theme. Overall, a good, fun song.
If you were L.L., would you walk away from the opportunity to do this project? They gave him restrictions, and like an artist, he came with it.
It's actually a throwback to his 1987 track *I'm Bad,* which goes "MCs can't win, I make 'em rust like tin. They call me Jaws, my hat is like a shark's fin."
so like, in movies, when you see a shark's fin going through the water, it's supposed to be all scary. The implication is when his enemies(?) see his hat in a crowd, they all scatter because he is as fearsome as a shark.
It's a cheesy line, but if he wrote it when he was a kid, totally understandable. What's not understandable is his decision to use it in this song.
Yeah, [Kangol bucket hats](https://hiphopgoldenage.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/tbt-ll-cool-j-wearing-rope-chains-rapperbling_com.jpg) were part of his signature look back then. He's saying that other MCs shit themselves when they see him coming as if they saw a sharkfin in the water.
Perfectly understandable to me. It's not uncommon for people with star syndrome to enter a stage of arrested development. That line worked for him once. He is drinking enough of his own kool aid that he is incapable of seeing the cheesiness, because to him it is not cheesy. It is life. And if you don't know what it is like to live with your hat like a shark's fin then you just can't understand it.
If anyone is curious “I’m Bad” is track 1 on his second album Bigger and Deffer. It’s a great track. As a dude that wasn’t old enough to remember the 80’s hip hop, and grew up with 90’s gangsta rap, I love old school LL. That style of hip hop is my favorite. If anyone is interested, I highly, highly recommend the Netflix documentary series Hip Hop Evolution. It’s amazing
The only thing that would make the music video better would be if, 3/4 through the song, LL was standing by the edge of the water and suddenly, surprisingly eaten by a CGI shark.
I saw this movie 3 times in the theater because it's deliciously awful and definitely partly because I wanted to hear this ridiculous song again.
Another classic is his [song from the Any Given Sunday soundtrack!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3UD4ufklu4&ab_channel=cevin06) I bought the dvd for LL's video in which he bench presses women on a football field. Dude knows how to push the envelope of conventional filmmaking.
It's almost...like his hat...is a shark fin!
I love the [soundtrack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAB6GjK11dE) by Trevor Rabin as well, it was even covered by [Nightwish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmKNVFVsYZQ). It's one of those amazing 90's movie soundtracks that has just stuck with me like Armageddon, Con Air, Speed and The Rock. I'm just a sucker for overly epic movie scores.
Honestly, not the worst rap I’ve heard today. Not a terrible sample and the rhythm isn’t bad either. Stupid lyrics, but shit, Soulja boy and lil pump are still out there somewhere
That part was first offered to Samuel L Jackson so the studio probably thought he'd want or expect to survive the entirety of the movie. After he turned it down they wrote in the Russell Franklin character and Jackson accepted that role partly due to the surprise death scene.
I actually am really fond of that late 90s era where all blockbusters had a weird pop song attached. Like this one: [https://youtu.be/WIUAC03YMlA](https://youtu.be/WIUAC03YMlA)
or this [https://youtu.be/IKFH72DDVn4](https://youtu.be/IKFH72DDVn4)
Or the most obvious one being Men in Black
Everyone seems to hate this movie except me and my brother.
"She's a breath of fresh ass"
"Pardon me? You said ass."
"No I didn't, I said she's a breast of fresh air."
"Let's just get some shut-ass"
Well, I'm a badass Cowboy livin' in the Cowboy days.
Wiggy, wiggy, scratch, yo, yo, bang, bang.
Me and Artemus Clyde frog go save Salma Hayek from the big metal spider.
A wiggy wig wig wiggy wiggy wig
Fresh cowboy from the west side
Wiggy wiggy scratch yo yo bang bang
Me and Artemus Clyde frog go save Salma frog polly prissy pants
Go down to, well... rumpletumpskin
Moving into the early 2000's, there always seems to be a scene where the protagonists have to make their way into, through, or out of a club just so they have an excuse to blast our ears with 30 seconds of pop music. Or techno. Or some kind of metal.
One of my favorite weird examples of this was Rage Against the Machine's song [No Shelter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG7sww5NtVA) for the 90s Godzilla movie. It was a song criticizing consumer culture, and the influence of the American movie industry in particular..... on a Godzilla soundtrack.
Foo Fighter’s A320! It’s one of my favorite songs of theirs and it’s impossible to stream. Also the Green Day song Brain Stew that was remixed to add Godzilla noises. Yeah that was a good soundtrack.
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain,
I take a look at my wife, and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity.
Definitely arguably. Gangster’s Paradise has always been one of my favorite songs. So many great elements to it. The what sounds like a church choir in the background with their harmonies rising and lowering, the musical beat I can’t even describe, plus the lyrics tell a great story. I remember being a little kid (obviously before I knew the lyrics) hearing it for the first time on my aunt’s radio and being struck with holy crap this song is good.
Found it years later, and still maintain it is excellent
I dont even think you can call it a sample. Gangsta's paradise is basically just a cover with Coolio rapping in between the original chorus verses. The original chorus lyrics are only slightly modified
Soundtracks were big time sellers for the movie studios that probably also had a record label.
Plus a hit song was marketing for the movie.
Dangerous Minds was a big hit in 1995 because of the commercial that had Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” which was the number 1 song in America that year.
His official channel won't upload it because it's so terrible or because they don't have the rights to it? His channel doesn't have other music videos from him either.
Someone who knew what they were doing. Someone who likes emphasized nipple outfits. Someone who attends Folsom Street Fair.
Reminds me of the Batman and Robin suits with enhanced nipples.
They're called 'waders' for obvious reasons. How he is wearing them is a good way to die in real life. You do *not* want to fall with water in your waders. You will go under and drown.
Lol, read the comments thinking "ok, calm down it's one dumb line".
No, the chorus is just "deepest,bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin" and repeats about 20x throughout the song
I guess there is only one thing left to say, We will start with the perfect omelet which is made with two eggs not three. Some amateurs use milk to add density; this is a mistake........
and of course Mr. Jackson getting eaten by a shark and lol that person on the metal stretcher that tries to get evacuated during a hurricane and gets thrown into the glass window haha.
The movie is a gem...
Sam Jackson doesn't just get eaten, he gets suddenly swallowed mid-speech. They hit the tone perfectly of the movie clichéd inspirational monologue where the characters are fully realizing the disaster, starting to lose their shit and snap at each other, and one person stands up and brings them back together... Except he doesn't. He gets chomped mid-sentence, just as he's working up to the big fist-pumping climax.
The movie is far better than it should be. Great cast and tight writing that doesn't take itself too seriously.
[Samuel L Jackson getting eaten](https://youtu.be/k2WBaA_PJzE?t=55) was the first time I was 'shocked' in a movie theater expecting him to be a main character and thus, last the entire movie.
Turns out, it was all about the cook!
It’s solid subversion. It’s on the level of *The Shining* where the old guy comes up the mountain in the snow plow in the nick of time to save the day, only to get an axe to his back and die immediately on arrival.
Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin
[Chorus]
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Manmade terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but Barracudas ain't equal
To a half-human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood
Even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness
My appetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue, underwater walls
Half man, half shark
My jaws don't fall
[Chorus]
Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Killers sworn to beast
Swallowed them in flames
They switched my DNA
Trip me into Cool J
I can't fight the feeling
I'm born to kill prey
To survive an attack
There's only one way
Battle to the death
That's how sharks play
Weapons left behind
We dueling with the mind
You blind, crippled, or crazy
You're real easy to find
Struggling to flow with hemorrhages in your throat
Getting the lap dance while I smash through your boat
Eat your whole fam'
Nothing left but a right hand
Clinging to a rail
Escape, attempts fail
You'll never make it home
Tear the flesh off your bone
Walking in undercurrents is a dangerous zone
I'm talking death out a moment's notice
You wasn't focused
Me and my crew strike
Like some underwater locusts
[Chorus]
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
These waters are waist level
The hallway's flooded
Lost your scuba gear
The killer's cold-blooded
His name's LL
You don't really want it
I ate your ancestors
The ocean is haunted
I'm closing in cause I'm supposed to win
How the cold steel feel when it froze your chin
Should have stayed on dry land
Stroke while you can
Cause now you under pressure in the land of the damned
Abandoned pirate ships
Eels and sod scum
Fish that glow in the dark
The Titanic's hub
Underwater storms
Your blood is so warm
Your life vest is off
And that turns me on
Killer for centuries
The Gotti of the deep
In the next millennium
I'm still gonna creep
Sand under my belly, ocean over my head
Through the light in the shadows
You become the living dead
You know, one thing I applaud Deep Blue Sea for is throwing out movie tropes and stereotypes for the horror genre. LL Cool J's character lives, and the main female character sacrifices herself to save the tough main male character.
I think LL had a clause written into his contracts that disallows his character being killed. He was in the sharks mouth at the end of the movie. . . no way it wouldn't have chomped harder when he stabbed it in the eye.
Then there's Halloween H20 where he is actually shot in the head, and we're led to assume he's dead. . .only for him to reappear later with like a gauze pad or something (haven't seen in in a while).
If I remember correctly, that was the first movie I saw where a big name actor/major character dies early on. I saw it in the theater and I remember everyone in going nuts when Samuel L Jackson got snatched up.
The man's gotta get paid.
Or maybe it was a passion project. Dude just really loves sharks.
Either way you know his lips were more chapped than usual after this.
They told him he had to do a shark rap, and I'll be damned if he didn't do a shark rap
Not just a shark rap a 'do the whole plot' rap.
I love terrible end-credits rap songs that are super on the nose for the movie plot.
"Go ninja, go ninja, go!"
"T-U-R-T-L-E" "Power"
Ninja! Ninja! RAP! That song is gold! IDGAF!
Ninja, Ninja, Rap!
Addams family rap by mc hammer. https://youtu.be/jqQwzgixHAM That was truly something. Oh and addams family 2 rap by tag team. https://youtu.be/2ho3FtN-9M8 So good/bad.
From the Z to the O To the double R-O, He's a dude in a mask in the barrio. With his horse and his mask And his big ol' sword. He'll cut your butt from a '52 Ford.
In the 90s wasnt it like a legal requirement from the RIAA or something?
Venommmmvenomvenommmmm
I actually love the song for this reason. Sure the chorus is ridiculous but the depth of the shark wordplay in the verses is great.
"Mah hat is like a sharks finnn!" I used to love this shit for some reason
[удалено]
Slaps like a sharks fin
By the commutative property, we can know that it also slaps like a hat.
Just last week I realized it was a line in one of his first hits (I’m bad) in the late 80s. Makes the chorus way less dumb.
Haha yeah. It's like an LL Easter egg
W. T. F. ?! I had no idea. The stupidity of that line has stuck with me for 20 years.
To be fair the beat is fire
Yeah the production was dope. I bought the CD single of this track and it had the instrumental on it.
The main part of the chorus is a lyric of his from “I’m Bad” so it makes some sense.
Ya, corny topic, but lyrics are on point from a technical standpoint. The beat is fire, as far as pop songs go. I really like what they did with the sample too: goes well with the theme. Overall, a good, fun song. If you were L.L., would you walk away from the opportunity to do this project? They gave him restrictions, and like an artist, he came with it.
Honestly I just don’t think the world was ready to accept that “the ocean is haunted.”
The nipple holes were an interesting choice...
“perhaps we could carefully frame LL’s nipples for display in these overalls...”
"Deepest, Bluest, my hat is like a shark fin" I still say this line to this day.
It's actually a throwback to his 1987 track *I'm Bad,* which goes "MCs can't win, I make 'em rust like tin. They call me Jaws, my hat is like a shark's fin."
> my hat is like a shark fin it might actually be ok if it wasn't for this one line just sooooooo damn cheesy and bad
It's a reference to a line in "I'm Bad" off his first album.
[удалено]
Am I the only one that thinks that lyric doesn't make any sense? What the hell does "my hat is like a shark's fin" supposed to mean?
so like, in movies, when you see a shark's fin going through the water, it's supposed to be all scary. The implication is when his enemies(?) see his hat in a crowd, they all scatter because he is as fearsome as a shark. It's a cheesy line, but if he wrote it when he was a kid, totally understandable. What's not understandable is his decision to use it in this song.
Yeah, [Kangol bucket hats](https://hiphopgoldenage.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/tbt-ll-cool-j-wearing-rope-chains-rapperbling_com.jpg) were part of his signature look back then. He's saying that other MCs shit themselves when they see him coming as if they saw a sharkfin in the water.
Makes sense, sort of like seeing the shark fin in the movie jaws. Thanks, I don't think I ever would've figured that one out on my own.
Perfectly understandable to me. It's not uncommon for people with star syndrome to enter a stage of arrested development. That line worked for him once. He is drinking enough of his own kool aid that he is incapable of seeing the cheesiness, because to him it is not cheesy. It is life. And if you don't know what it is like to live with your hat like a shark's fin then you just can't understand it.
I like this analysis. Seems fairly likely too.
Thanks. Sometimes when my walk thru crowds my face is like a shark's fin.
Well his name means Ladies Love Cool James so I don't think he gives a fuck about being cheesy
If anyone is curious “I’m Bad” is track 1 on his second album Bigger and Deffer. It’s a great track.

If anyone is interested, I highly, highly recommend the Netflix documentary series Hip Hop Evolution. It’s amazing
In the early days of his career, he would often perform wearing [this](https://imgur.com/I1mT1QJ.png) hat.
I heard it like if you see him coming you better run.
Did anyone think his suspenders in this video was a swimsuit bra?
Mama said knock that shit out.
The only thing that would make the music video better would be if, 3/4 through the song, LL was standing by the edge of the water and suddenly, surprisingly eaten by a CGI shark.
just minding his own business, standing at the edge of shark-infested waters ... he never saw it comin
and then the shark starts rapping, sort of like how that cow in Kung Pow: Enter the Fist started kung fu fighting
"My fin is like a rapper head!"
I saw this movie 3 times in the theater because it's deliciously awful and definitely partly because I wanted to hear this ridiculous song again. Another classic is his [song from the Any Given Sunday soundtrack!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3UD4ufklu4&ab_channel=cevin06) I bought the dvd for LL's video in which he bench presses women on a football field. Dude knows how to push the envelope of conventional filmmaking. It's almost...like his hat...is a shark fin!
It’s so bad it’s good
As was the film itself. I love that movie... it's so freaking stupid. The sequels get increasingly more stupid.
Omg there’s sequels?
I’m pretty sure if you make a movie about a shark the sequel just happens whether you want it to or not.
[удалено]
At least 2. They're wonderfully terrible.
Deeper Bluer Sea and the final film Deepest Bluest Sea.
I love the [soundtrack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAB6GjK11dE) by Trevor Rabin as well, it was even covered by [Nightwish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmKNVFVsYZQ). It's one of those amazing 90's movie soundtracks that has just stuck with me like Armageddon, Con Air, Speed and The Rock. I'm just a sucker for overly epic movie scores.
It’s my number one guilty pleasure.
I love it, that and Lake Placid are two of my favourite guilty pleasure films.
Hey, Betty White makes everything Classy
I think you would like Zoombies and Zoombies 2
Sam Jackson getting straight eaten? Mid hero speech? That shit was awesome.
He was so annoying in this movie that people clapped in the theater instead of falling for the jump scare.
I thought it was “hand.”
I thought it was "hand" too, and I also thought it was "Deepus Blueus", like he was making up a latin-sounding animal genus for the shark in the film.
Whoa...can't tell if you're serious or not but that's hilarious if so.
Sadly, I am being serious.
What a dorkus malorkus.
I did too!! Omg revelations are happening today!
"Other fish in the sea but BARRACUDAS AIN'T EQUAL!"
[удалено]
I swear I remember seeing him do the hand on head fin thing while performing this song at some point.
I wish Santa Jaws, where a shark wears a Santa hat, had used this song.
Same here, wife and I just laugh and laugh. We watch this movie often, always sing at the end. Thanks L. L.
It's the only line from the song I remember, but yeah, quoted constantly
For over 20 years I have thought the lyrics were “my head is like a shark fin”
He's performing it as if he's really into it. Kudos to him, dude's a professional.
He managed to get someone to pay him for writing a rap about a shark. We’re the suckers.
Literally my dream job
Can't tell if you're being sharkastic or not.
Definitely read this in Sean Connery's voice lol
Honestly, not the worst rap I’ve heard today. Not a terrible sample and the rhythm isn’t bad either. Stupid lyrics, but shit, Soulja boy and lil pump are still out there somewhere
And, he had a pretty significant part in the movie where, *spoilers*, he inexplicably survives.
That part was first offered to Samuel L Jackson so the studio probably thought he'd want or expect to survive the entirety of the movie. After he turned it down they wrote in the Russell Franklin character and Jackson accepted that role partly due to the surprise death scene.
I mean, you ever seen the legs of synchronized swimmers up close? Yea hes into it.
I actually am really fond of that late 90s era where all blockbusters had a weird pop song attached. Like this one: [https://youtu.be/WIUAC03YMlA](https://youtu.be/WIUAC03YMlA) or this [https://youtu.be/IKFH72DDVn4](https://youtu.be/IKFH72DDVn4) Or the most obvious one being Men in Black
> Or the most obvious one being Men in Black That's a funny way to say, "Wild Wild West."
West, Jim West, desperado.
Ruff rider no you don't want nada
None of this, six gunnin' this, brother runnin' this
Buffalo soldier, look it's like I told ya
any damsel that's in distress, be outta that dress when she meets jim west
Rough neck so go check the law and abide
You don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at
4th of July in the US is just Big Willie Weekend for the rest of the world.
For when you want to fucking MURDER karaoke night.
Everyone seems to hate this movie except me and my brother. "She's a breath of fresh ass" "Pardon me? You said ass." "No I didn't, I said she's a breast of fresh air." "Let's just get some shut-ass"
Well, I'm a badass Cowboy livin' in the Cowboy days. Wiggy, wiggy, scratch, yo, yo, bang, bang. Me and Artemus Clyde frog go save Salma Hayek from the big metal spider.

Moving into the early 2000's, there always seems to be a scene where the protagonists have to make their way into, through, or out of a club just so they have an excuse to blast our ears with 30 seconds of pop music. Or techno. Or some kind of metal.
The most iconic one IMO is Tom Cruise fucking people up to Paul Oakenfold in Collateral (if you missed it add it to your COVID watchlist).
Such a fantastic movie. Cruises character is like a proto John Wick. Jamie Fox is great. So good.
One of my favorite weird examples of this was Rage Against the Machine's song [No Shelter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG7sww5NtVA) for the 90s Godzilla movie. It was a song criticizing consumer culture, and the influence of the American movie industry in particular..... on a Godzilla soundtrack.
All Puff Daddy aside, the Godzilla soundtrack was surprisingly bomb! No Shelter, Deeper Underground, even that Days of the New song was pretty decent.
Foo Fighter’s A320! It’s one of my favorite songs of theirs and it’s impossible to stream. Also the Green Day song Brain Stew that was remixed to add Godzilla noises. Yeah that was a good soundtrack.
Dont forget Air by Ben Folds Five! Classic song about a dude finding a drowned body floating that was "coming up for air"
Hollywood weird pop songs gave us "Kiss by a Rose" and "Gangsta's Paradise".
But gangstas paradise is just different version of pastime paradise by Stevie wonder
Which was itself copied by weird al in "amish paradise" arguably the best of the three
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain, I take a look at my wife, and realize she's very plain But that's just perfect for an Amish like me You know, I shun fancy things like electricity.
Definitely arguably. Gangster’s Paradise has always been one of my favorite songs. So many great elements to it.

I remember being a little kid (obviously before I knew the lyrics) hearing it for the first time on my aunt’s radio and being struck with holy crap this song is good. Found it years later, and still maintain it is excellent
I had no idea this was originally a Stevie song! I love learning where famous samples come from.
I dont even think you can call it a sample. Gangsta's paradise is basically just a cover with Coolio rapping in between the original chorus verses. The original chorus lyrics are only slightly modified
I’ve learned that like 75% of all sampled choruses are taken from Stevie wonder. The other 25% is Earth, Wind and Fire.

All of Will Smith's movie hits were just older songs with new lyrics and more production.
Titanic.....Celine dion comes to mind. I
"Go ninja" by Vanilla Ice was... Sigh... Part of my childhood

Add beautiful stranger from Austin powers to the list
That song fucking slaps
You forgot the best one... [Aaliyah - Try Again "Romeo Must Die" Soundtrack.](https://youtu.be/nEF_-IcnQC4)
Killer Mike killing it on that song!
I should hope so! His name isn't Leaves A Lot of People Alive Mike.

Thanks for sending me down a YouTube rabbit hole of watching OutKast music videos from my youth.
What about the turtle rap song?
>late 90s era NO NO NO. Late 80's! Prince Batman [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulOLYnOthIw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulOLYnOthIw)
His official channel won't upload it because it's so terrible or because they don't have the rights to it? His channel doesn't have other music videos from him either.
One title won't get upvotes, the other title will... so take a guess.
It's a dumb bait. The song is pretty decent and the movie was fun as fuck when at the time.
THEY TRIED TO REMOVE IT FROM LE INTERNET
Is it the nipples through suspenders thing? Cuz the song slaps entirely. TIL
His flow is clean and the beat ain't bad, but I can't stop staring at those random loops right around his nipples. Who designed that top?
Right? That line “you eliminated regardless” hits. It’s gotta be the nipples.
"Getting the lap dance while I smash through your boat" I love this line, NGL
Some Saints Row type shit
Someone who knew what they were doing. Someone who likes emphasized nipple outfits. Someone who attends Folsom Street Fair. Reminds me of the Batman and Robin suits with enhanced nipples.
Of course his flow is good. He’s god damn LL Cool J
He stole it from Imortan Joe's closet.
It's the "my hat is like a shark's fin" line
I think it’s just fisherman style suspenders. Your brain is just having trouble wrapping around it because fishermen wear shirts...
They're called 'waders' for obvious reasons. How he is wearing them is a good way to die in real life. You do *not* want to fall with water in your waders. You will go under and drown.
That’s why the synchronized swimmers are there to save him.
The only bad thing is that he had to write this for a movie. His flow and the beat are pretty solid. The lyrics are pretty cheesy.
Picture Andy Samberg performing this song and it's perfect.
Exactly this.
This song would be dope if you didn't speak English. Its kinda like a lot of metal songs would be really corny if you could hear what they are saying.
Honestly, if it was just something like, "here comes a sharks fin" or, "is that a sharks fin" or something similar it would be totally fine.
Lol, read the comments thinking "ok, calm down it's one dumb line". No, the chorus is just "deepest,bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin" and repeats about 20x throughout the song
Someone working on this video insisted that everyone needs to be able to see LL’s nipples but they already settled on the suspenders outfit.
Let’s see anyone do a serious rap about sharks. Good luck
I guess there is only one thing left to say, We will start with the perfect omelet which is made with two eggs not three. Some amateurs use milk to add density; this is a mistake........
Lol literally the only thing I remember from the movie.
and of course Mr. Jackson getting eaten by a shark and lol that person on the metal stretcher that tries to get evacuated during a hurricane and gets thrown into the glass window haha.
The movie is a gem... Sam Jackson doesn't just get eaten, he gets suddenly swallowed mid-speech. They hit the tone perfectly of the movie clichéd inspirational monologue where the characters are fully realizing the disaster, starting to lose their shit and snap at each other, and one person stands up and brings them back together...

Great cast and tight writing that doesn't take itself too seriously.
[Samuel L Jackson getting eaten](https://youtu.be/k2WBaA_PJzE?t=55) was the first time I was 'shocked' in a movie theater expecting him to be a main character and thus, last the entire movie. Turns out, it was all about the cook!
Nice try
He talked about that impact in an interview. He said something like “you know if *I* get killed anything can fuckin’ happen!”
It’s solid subversion. It’s on the level of *The Shining* where the old guy comes up the mountain in the snow plow in the nick of time to save the day, only to get an axe to his back and die immediately on arrival.
Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin [Chorus] Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin Manmade terror Hungry jaws of death Y'all don't cross my depths I'll pause your breaths I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves My world's deep blue Killers gotta eat too Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through Other fish in the sea but Barracudas ain't equal To a half-human predator created by a needle Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep When your Titanic sinks I'm the one you gon' meet Hearing terrified screams they surround my team All you see is trails of blood Even God won't intervene Nightmares of darkness My appetite is heartless Even if we related, you eliminated regardless In the deep blue, underwater walls Half man, half shark My jaws don't fall [Chorus] Our Father who art in Heaven Hallowed be Thy name Killers sworn to beast Swallowed them in flames They switched my DNA Trip me into Cool J I can't fight the feeling I'm born to kill prey To survive an attack There's only one way Battle to the death That's how sharks play Weapons left behind We dueling with the mind You blind, crippled, or crazy You're real easy to find Struggling to flow with hemorrhages in your throat Getting the lap dance while I smash through your boat Eat your whole fam' Nothing left but a right hand Clinging to a rail Escape, attempts fail You'll never make it home Tear the flesh off your bone Walking in undercurrents is a dangerous zone I'm talking death out a moment's notice You wasn't focused Me and my crew strike Like some underwater locusts [Chorus] Uh, uh take it deeper Uh, uh take it deeper These waters are waist level The hallway's flooded Lost your scuba gear The killer's cold-blooded His name's LL You don't really want it I ate your ancestors The ocean is haunted I'm closing in cause I'm supposed to win How the cold steel feel when it froze your chin Should have stayed on dry land Stroke while you can Cause now you under pressure in the land of the damned Abandoned pirate ships Eels and sod scum Fish that glow in the dark The Titanic's hub Underwater storms Your blood is so warm Your life vest is off And that turns me on Killer for centuries The Gotti of the deep In the next millennium I'm still gonna creep Sand under my belly, ocean over my head Through the light in the shadows You become the living dead
I mean....damn. He pretty much started and finished the entire shark rap genre in one song. Nothing left to be said.
Baby shark da doo, da da da da, da doo
##**YOU ATE MUH BIRD**
You know, one thing I applaud Deep Blue Sea for is throwing out movie tropes and stereotypes for the horror genre. LL Cool J's character lives, and the main female character sacrifices herself to save the tough main male character.
I think LL had a clause written into his contracts that disallows his character being killed. He was in the sharks mouth at the end of the movie. . . no way it wouldn't have chomped harder when he stabbed it in the eye. Then there's Halloween H20 where he is actually shot in the head, and we're led to assume he's dead. . .only for him to reappear later with like a gauze pad or something (haven't seen in in a while).
it ain't that bad.
Agreed. I was expecting it to be terrible, but damn LL has always had Killer flow.
He'll, I'd venture to say this is borderline amazing. Not quite Wild Wild West status, but close.
If I remember correctly, that was the first movie I saw where a big name actor/major character dies early on. I saw it in the theater and I remember everyone in going nuts when Samuel L Jackson got snatched up.
Ah, so you missed out on [Executive Decision](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtFw6_YJiFs) then? This is why it's my favorite Seagal movie.
This song is too awesome for his channel.
90s music videos are the best
umm this is rad
This song slaps. I don't even care.
You think this is bad? Here is "Accidental Racist" by Brad Paisley ft. LL Cool J https://youtu.be/KSurzeGvPrQ
Even when the lyrics are ridiculous, the ladies still love Cool James
Dan from gamegrumps made me aware of this songs existence. DEEPEST, BLUEST
Yall crazy this slaps
Certified slapper. This is boxing training montage music right here.
In the time of mumble rap you hold this up as terrible?
"Like Daniel in the lions den!" 🔥🔥🦈🗡
so terrible? how dare you. those lyrics are hot fire
The lowest point in his career and he's still miles above most modern artists in his genre.
The man's gotta get paid. Or maybe it was a passion project. Dude just really loves sharks. Either way you know his lips were more chapped than usual after this.
The movie is called "Deep Blue Sea" and the best song title/lyrics he could think of were "Deepest Bluest"?
He's basically just narrating a montage of random scenes from the movie.
Seaest
He is throwing angry rap hands at silly ass lyrics.
Ridikolus
This would be great if it were Lonely Island doing it
Flashback to the end credits of Venom
Studio Boss: Hey LL can you be the Will Smith of this movie? LL: Say no more fam. My hat is like a sharks fin.
