You definitely cannot stay on the topic of ghostwriting for that long with a Rap Legend like LL Cool J. That felt very disrespectful hearing this. Shannon Sharpe, you should know better. Smh

LL Cool J was just 17 when he became one of the first artists signed to the company. The men who founded the Def Jam label in 1984 weren't much older.

[@stackmula5729]

All MCs know ll Cool j really wrote all his rhymes

[@HumbleThaDon]

How can you tell a man what someone did? Especially when the man himself is saying it out his mouth yall comments are insanely unintelligent. He said he wrote the chorus.

[@Kingstyles05]

​@HumbleThaDon You just talked about yourself. He said his rhymes which means verses. 50 wrote the hook, which is different. Amerie sung the chorus. You can tell L writes his on verses because of the consistency and style of lyrics.

[@_ninovation]

@@Kingstyles05was about to say the same thing. no one has LL comp style. his lingo and all. you know who writes their own lyrics because you can hear the consistency of their minds to pen

[@jacknapier7613]

Nah you have an untrained eye and mind because dude clearly stated that 50 wrote the hook and then you incorrectly tried to correct him with incorrect information. Writing the hook and writing a verse is not even close to the same thing so stop that! You contradicted yourself by bringing up the consistency in Cool James lyrics so maybe you should think about what you want to try to say before trying to beat someone in a conversation…thanks have a nice day and don’t forget to read something other than your social media feed….

[@slimcutti]

50 wrote for him so that automatically cancel out all 😂

[@BlackDragonRuler]

I think Shannon needs to read the room more honestly because you can tell a lot of times LL was being serious he kept throwing jokes or cutting him off. And sometimes you have to leave a point alone everybody ain’t gonna just laugh things off. He started back joking but he was getting real serious
