LL Cool J lived up to the “cool” element of his name when he stopped a robbery-in-progress at his Los Angeles home. TMZ reports the suspect entered J’s home around 2am. LL heard someone downstairs and then BOOM – momma said knock you out.

The alarm system alerted police but LL decided to defuse the situation solo. He detained the suspect until LAPD arrived to arrest him.

If he knew this was LL’s home, this guy has some serious nuts. J isn’t has young as he used to be but anyone who watches NCIS: Los Angeles know dude can still bang.

By the way, this video came out in 1995... feel old yet?
