Bigger and Deffer (Sometimes BAD or Bigger And Deffer) is the second studio album by rapper LL Cool J and is remembered most for containing the first commercially successful "rap ballad", "I Need Love". It also contains the single "Go Cut Creator Go", which payed homage to his DJ, and the breakthrough single in the U.K. "I'm Bad". In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums, while receiving mixed reviews from other critics. The front cover photograph on the album was taken in front LL's Andrew Jackson High School in Queens, and the back cover was shot in his grandmothers basement where he was living at the time, (both shot by Glen E. Friedman).
