This day in hip-hop history includes the release of Mary J. Blige's debut record, EPMD's classic Business Never Personal and LL Cool J's standoff with a shark.
Who could forget the sexy trio known as LSG? The letters, L,S,G come were derived from each of the group members last name. Clever, huh? Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat, and Johnny Gill. Even though this was like the only hit the group had, we still love it to this day! However the album did go platinum. 1997 was the year! Enjoy more after the jump.
