i have to admit i am enjoying this cool j single less as time moves forward.

Mmmmmm Mmmmm (I'm fanning myself). Damn he's hot. Love the song too.

I might have gotten my first hard on to this video (not LL's part though.) Either this, Adina Howards Freak Like Me or Toni Braxton You're Makin' Me High

Timmy84 said:

What was the name of the girl that sang her part for real? Didn't she sue LL because she did not get any money for it.

shorttrini said:

I thought it was her :

shorttrini said:

That wasn't why she sued. I think she sued cause she wasn't in the video. He said she wasn't "the look" he was lookin' for.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

She was brown skinned. So yeah I can see why.

Her name is Heather B but it's not the same one tho.

That's what i just posted

Shango said:

Huh, that look like "The Real World" Heather B.

OK, I finally find the name of the girl: it's LaShaun.

i remember ll saying she didn't have the body for the video because she just had a baby--not cuz she was brown skinded

Fury said:

Oh for real? Thanks for correcting.

Timmy84 said:

There are more Heather B's then ? ... but i see you also found the correct name already lol.

Shango said:

Could be. But yeah I had to go to Wikipedia of all places but I remembered that name (LaShaun).

LeShaun received a surge in popularity when she collaborated with LL Cool J on the track called "Doin' It" that appeared on his album Mr. Smith. The song can be seen as a remake or an update to her song Wild Thang and even keeps the trademark synthesizer licks of the original. This popularity would not come to full fruition due to controversy about her not appearing in the Doin' It video. LL Cool J made claims that it was due to LeShaun's pregnancy at the time, rather than any other of her physical features. The video instead has a different woman for each of the verses in the song. This seemingly does not deter LeShaun from working with LL Cool J, since she has teamed up with him on songs after these events.

1996. Leshaun Williams drops her lawsuit against LL Cool J for unlawful dismissal and accepts an undisclosed sum as settlement. She also abandons her plans to stage a protest outside the star’s forthcoming Radio City Music Hall date. The suit had been filed with assistance from the Equal Opportunities Commission after Williams was told she was too fat to star in one of Cool J’s videos.

Cool, thanx. Then i'm off for a nightnap now lol.

Fury said:

Didn't she perform with LL Cool J onstage doing that song? I think she was with him when he was performing on the MTV Awards all around him.

shorttrini said:

I know I can't even listen to that now. Grace killed that beat and it should have stayed like that, but you know that these producers can't come up with an orginal thought to save there life.

Timmy84 said:

I think it was an MTV spring break party show...I could be wrong though. She made a point of wearing this tiger print thingy...

misschestylarue said:

This is true.

shorttrini said:

the spring break performance was actually Shaunta a female MC from the west coast who lip synced LeShaun's verses. I do remember LeShaun performing with LL on one of the video show's I just can't remember.


on a side note "Doin it" is a reworking of LeShaun's 1988 underground hit "Wild Thang" then know as Almond Joy as part of the duo 2 Much.
