Recently Ll Cool J spoke to MTV about his future with Def Jam and told them about why he plans to leave the label after his final contracted lp is released. “How am I gonna re-sign with competition? I’m not a idiot,” He said talking about Jay-Z. “I can’t depend on that man to promote my record while he’s somewhere writing rhymes. I’m LL Cool J. I ain’t doing that, B.” He also stated that he hasn’t quite decided what his next home might be, laughing Cool J joked that he might even come back to Def Jam for the right amount of dollars. “I would rock with Def Jam if they wrote a big enough check,” “Me and Jay would be on that yacht like, ‘Hov! Hov! Write that check, homie.”
LL also spoke about the similarities that he sees between himself and 50. “My man has a great sensibility. He knows what I like,”. “We’re from Queens. We’re seven years apart in age. He knows what I’m into. We come from the same experience, so the music reflects that. And let’s face it, 50 reminds me of a place I was in awhile ago. I have been running around on tours. I have been in the suites, and I haven’t been on the blocks smelling like Guinness lately. It’s fun to work with somebody who rekindles those flames and makes me hungry again. It’s definitely working.”

"I’m absolutely going to pulverize these cats. It’s going to be hysterical. It’s like a Mama Said Knock You Out type of record or Mr. Smith type of record. It’s a very good record."--wow,cant wait to hear this.(well,not really)
I feel LL on Jay not possibly not being an EOE (Equal Opportunity Employer)....but Hip Hop, Rap or whatever you can start to call this shit is becoming too bitter anyway. It's been way too personal.
To be real with yall... LL's been out since I was a toddler damn near... scary!
If he doesnt have a strong enough fan base by now... then that's on him. Maybe he needs a another Pectoral Implant, or a lil' more Lipo...(yes it's true!)
He should just relax from trying to seriously do the music thing and get back to acting for a while. He really does act well and in decent movies... why not?
U can't blame what ya album "Might" do on Jay. I'm not even speaking because I'm a typical J fan either. All ceo's get harrassed for not "pushing enough" by their artist.
Those cries really hold no weight for me... I mean sometimes U gotta do more than collect an advancement check and wait for the album to drop. Sometimes u gotta get cha Kanye, or Ya early Jay-Z, or Ya TI on... MEANING: do shit for yaself!!!
LL's bitter or the most part because Jay helped Nas secure a $10 million deal and he thinks he deserves the same. That's what it all comes down to. He knows he's not getting it from Jay... so he thinks he's doing the next best thing by dropping a "thug" album...
I dont know if this is the best thing to him to be doing... just like I didnt think it was the best move for pastor MA$E LMAO! Where is HE now?
But I guess in the end it all comes down to whateva floats his Breast,OOps... I meant to say Boat! LMFAO!
Well he acts in Hollywood, so acting in the booth along side 50 should be just another walk in the surgeons office!
LMAO! I'm killing myself!
But seriously... He was born in January of 1968...(he's about to be 39)
and they criticize Jay for being old... this is going to be interesting! Lol!
-Be EAZY
wtf happened to the album? its dam near summer again.
