Speaking on the collabo LL said "No pen or nothing, he just looked up in the air and just came up with some heat". He also added that "the album is serious."
LL went on to say one of his keys for longevity and relevance in the biz was his ability to evolve with Hip-Hop music.
He says "There's a lot of room out there for everyone to get what the need to get. Dreams don't have deadlines, so you might as well embrace the new era the new time and the new groups and all that."
"Don't be standing up under Niagara Falls saying 'wait a minute' cause it's going to keep flowing anyway. You might as well get with the program all that and rock out and enjoy yourself and live life."
In other news…
Exit 13 will be LL's final album under Def Jam which has been recording home for over twenty years.

With KRS and Method Man, it sounds like the old LL will finally return
I hope so...
I think he's finally realized that although he's been a signed rapper for over 20 years... at least 12 of those years were nothing... and he also spent like 15 catering to women.
Now he figures if he could put together a certified banga... Meaning some shit that WE meaning MEN could get into... thay maybe just maybe... he could once again make his name ring amongst the best of them.
I love how "positive" he's being about everything now...
How now...he's trying to evolve and say "fuck it" and go with the flow. His stupid ass let his ego keep him from utilizing one of the best weapons in the industry...
Jay-Z!
They could;ve done a banging track and LL could've gotten all of the promotion money he needed... Had he just bit his tongue, swallowed his enhanced pride... and ignored his 10 years strong dislike for his old boss.
I'm really interested in this cd and it's content. Will he really evolve or will he simply just do what he's been doing... SOME RnB shit for the ladies!?
Tune in folks...lol.
~Be Eazy!
im wit u on this one here wiz...man i just wanna hear that ol LL that we kno can bring it.....
just gotta wait it out and see..
LL needs to quit seriously
he needs to tap out
who is the harlem capo dunno him
u know him don't try to play him
Its Jim jones or u playing dumb, neway exit 13 ....i aint sure, he sounds like he wana get off defjam so his heart aint guna be in it....i duno, i wait and see
i think LL is bringing back that heat.... '08' is the ressurection of hip hop
Yea '08 is the ressurection of both the east and the west coast LL coming out with album Nas coming out with Nigger and all those west coast albums From Ice Cube, Game, and Snoop Doggy Dogg we could be seeing some real music coming back rather then all that dirty south snapping music don't get me wrong some of the south's shit is fire but all that dance rap has to go.
LL seems serious. will like to hear this joint.
LL to get a new deal with def jam...you heard it hear first.
*here ...........damn whats happened to my intelligence...guess an exodus from the forum on to the main boards does this :smh:
"Dreams don't Have deadlines" I like that line i feel inspired. lol
how could you not cop this album, fan or not.
Speaking on the collabo LL said "No pen or nothing, he just looked up in the air and just came up with some heat".
so thats why jim jones says the bullshit he does sometimes lol naw but uncle L's new shit sounds like its gone b hot
jim jones is shit!!!! nuffin else to say
i agree man. jim jones is terrible man. i mean he a pretty good hustler and all, but this fool couldn't rap a gift. i hate to see ll leave def jam. i burn a lot of albums, but i will definetly buy this one. he a legend man.
Whoa LL is hanging it up. I am from LL era when you rocked the rope chains and shorty's had the Bambo earings. LL made me buy my Jeep back in the days so I can have a back seat in my Jeep episode. Now I am not to sure how that LL and Jim Jones shit is going to sell because they are from 2 different angles. There song can be called Balling '2008'. LL Cool J (Balling) and Jim Jones (Boring)..........
LL is smart man, son knows how to market him self & his projects,…but seriously B, Jim Jones is border line OK, so how is this nigga sayin the album is serious? Jimmy ain’t making nothing worth my time,…don’t get it twisted he’s a good hustler, and also good at running his mouth. But we talking about LL cool J & his last album on Def. Jam, so why not go hard? Get Nas, G-rap, KRS-One, Marley Marl,..etc, oh wait he has some of them cats already on it, so why add Jenny Jones?
Apparently NOT if he was screaming at JAY (to other people of course) about not getting promotion or marketing...
~Be EAzy!
i think puttin jim jones on the album exit 13 is just a way of LL showing jimmy a much needed exit haha
loool in a funny way that shit is true
4 real tho we need som1 in the game 2 show jimmy the door out of the GAME
Nothing exciting here. Nothing at all.
Finally fucking a rapper makes sense...just go with the new hip hop, who gives a shit if it sucks its time to evolve and appeal to fans, Hip hop is a buisness and its his job to entertain
who gives a shit if it sucks........fuck outta here stay in yo realm and play that wack ass young ralph "look like money smell like money"
Think about it he is putting corny, I mean corny ASS Jenny Jones on the album because that is Jay-Z arch enemy!
Jay don't give a fuck because Jenny Jones ain't got nothing to see productive anyway....Borrrrrring !
You meant balllllin at the end of your post don't lie.
Jim Jones is catchin deals everywhere...
First works with Styles, now LL? This is a travesty.
This sounds like LL wants a "notable" artist on his album....not the route to go. Jimmy's garbage, we all know it and L knows it too, but Jimmy can hustle and get his voice heard, I give him that...this album will be sweet along wit da rest comin dis year. Learn it.
ReDef.
LL AINT GONNA SELL I DONT GIVE A FUCK HOW LONG HE BEEN IN THE GAME HIS CAREER IS DONE NOBODY DONT BUMP LL SHIT NO MORE HIS LAST ALBUM FLOPPED AND THIS ONE IS GONNA FLOP TO

^^^^^^^^ not album i mean song 2gether im tellin u LL is not gonna do shit on dis album......
LL dosnt ever "sell". yall niggas kill me with this sell shit. is that all you care about is how many records these cats sell? LL is a beast in this game. he goes hard sometimes. he goes at the ladys sometimes. dont forget what the LL stands for. hes been doin the same shit since 85. and why should he kiss jay-z ass just to get somewhere? he dont owe jay-z nothin. he could go to any of these rap niggas and get a collabo out of um. shout out to the nigga cool j.
i hope its his exit he need 2 stop rappin fuckin with 50 would end his days at def jam.fuckin with jenny jones that nigga is a nut.FUCK LL.
Aight Yall Dis Shit Iz Gett'n Crazy Err Bodie Leave'n Def Jam!!! And I Thought Def Jam Was Hip Hop... Yall Know Who Killed def Jam... (Mr. President)

I dont know but fucking wit jim jones,jones is like fucking wit DIDDY!!nigga that were Producers now doing the music thing..(FUCK OUT OFF HERE)dis nigga are garbage..yo L dont go out like this my nig!!!!!!!
LL i had a lot of respect for you but now you have deflated. you have gone to the bottom of the barrell. are you that desperate, or are you doing social work on jimmy. he does need a good bath and behavior modification. he keeps picking on kids and setting his goons on them.
