[@redeyespyone]

I love the fact that you love real Hip Hop! LL's album is definitely a banger.✊🏿 Salute, professor Hunter.

[@Pytho_n]

Pure rap. None of this trap shit

[@tynece8594]

Preach Roderick! It's our culture. Live in it no matter the age

[@tracyelogan7297]

Love It!! LL still got it!! 🎶👏🏽✌🏽

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Finally got to it yesterday... it is INCREDIBLE! I grew up on LL and old school HipHop in the 80s and 90s and I love where (real) HipHop is right now.

[@karenl7786]

This brother has always lived with the understanding of his body as the sacred temple for the blessing of his spirit. I'm not surprised at all that he is still fire 🔥 ✊🏽

[@TWILS02119]

That album is INCREDIBLE!!! I’m rocking it!

[@EricK-ir8np]

Cool J is LEGENDARY!!!🐐🐐

[@whateverwhatever5715]

He forever makes bangers ...40 years !

[@madewithloveduh]

I gotta pick that up "I make my own rules - LL Cool J"

[@generalinformation3507]

Everybody should do themselves a favor and listen to the original murdergram Which is on the mama said knock you out album. The one with Eminem is part 2. LL is 56, I'm 58. When radio came out he was 16 I was 18. When I heard I need a beat I got dizzy, Then I heard rock the Bells and I had a stroke. That was 1985. I have been a fan ever since👍🏿

[@shaniharris4343]

Who was she saying is pushing 50? I thought they were all 50 or over

[@2B-Steele]

That little part that you played is fire 🔥

[@kamiafunchess2126]

KAREN!! THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT ABOUT THE GAP COMMERCIAL!! Nobody talks about that, nobody!

[@drvalpat1]

OK, Ima swing back and listen again based on this critique. Based on what I heard on Rock the Bells Radio, I was really missing the Mr. Smith from the past. It could have been the beats (or that I'm in my late 60s lol), but I'm headed through for another listen. Thanks for this perspective!

[@Bosay831Gaming]

To use one of Mr. Todd's classic bars, "Don't call it a comeback"

[@LindaMitchell]

Speak on it Roderick! We can enjoy and appreciate Hip-Hop/Rap at any age. It's part of our rich culture. Now, let me go check out LL's album. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@MrMetro-mt5qv]

I put LL’s new album in a category right next to the first next to the first Chronic album… yeah, I said it!

[@deeward5572]

Real!

[@MorganMingo70]

I can’t believe he surprised!😂😂😂 anybody from the north east New York and Jersey, who grew up listening to his early music knew exactly how militant LL was! His delivery on “ I need love” was even militant! 😂 I was just singing it a few weeks ago. The new jawn had me HYPED!

[@terrellcowell6361]

listening to the album its 🔥 salute to LL "the only crossover I support is Kyrie" line let's u know where he's coming from

[@p.w.7493]

LL Cool J is the REAL DEAL, Prof. Hunter. I for sure will be checking out this brotha's latest album!! And, I'm so glad he's still chuckin!!

[@eg3186]

I have LL is 🔥

[@Jayebird69]

It's definitely the time for a resurgence of the Golden Age of hip-hop. L.L. Queen Latifah, MCLyte, YoYo, Nas, Rakim....alla them! Show them how its DONE!

[@1CHOZN7]

Classic album 👌 🙌 🔥

[@brandonb8807]

😂😂😂 I love y'all ended this clip! 😂😂😂 Karen: "Ll can get a sports massage.... he can get a lot of things." *Cuts to Outro track* 🤣🤣🤣

[@chayo4537]

Cringey

[@gibsonfranchise]

The fact that this man just completed 40 years in hip hop. drop in my opinion hip hop AOTY the force with def Jam the label he was signed to first. I don’t believe has ever been done not from the era he started in yes nas has been incredible these last 6 albums props to him to. But whether LL just did was us that there is no age on hip hop and it should never be

[@seanthornton726]

It's a resetting of the culture. LLnew album, Rakims Dj & Production album. Kendrick' Let the party die. My hope this is the start of us reclaiming our art called HipHop

[@chaunt100]

COMMON THE AUDITORIUM AND LUPE SAMURAI ARE NOTEWORTHY!

[@taynaburton5828]

Love me some LL ever since I was a kid in the 80s❤❤ LL is almost 60 and STILL murdering people with his bars.

[@For_The_Masses]

There is a shift happening where parts of the 5 elements of hip-hop are coming back. Hip-hop is the only genre of some fans complaining about the person's age of those that are rapping.

[@chelabuford7106]

Absolutely correct 💯 But your gift is what The Most High blessed you with and LL ain't never shyer away from his power!!! Been a vessel - so continue to let it flow Cool J!!! 💜 Hope it inspires the other dope rappers and MC's follow suit!!! The culture and the world NEEDS it right now!!!!!!!!💯

[@beachlover9705]

Roderick is spittin facts . These rappers mumbling isn't it. LL is bringing it back to real hip hop

[@DerekColdwell]

I give L props for maintaining.

[@bigfamsmusic]

Black Code Suite and The FORCE are standouts.

[@eustacerobinson1773]

🚀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉 Good Soul Stuff. Well Done Don’t forget QTip is a great musician 🌪️🔥☄️🪐

[@chelabuford7106]

Yes, he is!!! They both are top tier!!!!!🎉

[@rodb66]

Good morning Professor Hunter and commenters.

[@jjfbond]

Listen to the Force on this album it is a monster

[@johnnierock1090]

Omg please have Roxanne Shante on!!!! Love her!

[@AuntieRobbin]

Rod! Years ago, LL told us not to call it a comeback!

[@Kareyn2]

I’ve heard a few songs and it slaps, as the kids say😂😂

[@lucasconrad367]

15 years. 20 episodes per year. Average of 300,000 per episode. $90M just based on the show he did. That's not including syndication. LL is the most calm rapper ever. No freak offs. Not caught up in the bullshit diddy and jay are. hmmm. but just as rich. might just be the GOAT.

[@angelalewis6750]

If you love Rap Music and you appreciate Lyrics then no matter his age , you will love his album. ❤❤❤❤Remember what he said, Mama said knock you out.

[@DarioMilanes]

Kane, Craig G, Master Ace, Eric Sherman, and Paris Smith.

[@philipouda-xi6di]

Chuck D. Please listen to him

[@LLISA1234]

I have not listened to LL's new album and I doubt that I will at this point. I'm 47 years old so I grew up with hip hop... "I used to love H.E.R." and I still love some of the hip hop I grew up listing to- though some of the lyrics haven't aged well. But, I'm just not interested in hearing any new material from hardly any MC nowadays. Then again I go through phases with music. I could check his album out three years from now and play it nonstop for a year.🤷🏾‍♀️

[@johnnierock1090]

Dont forget my girl MC Lyte also got a new joint coming out dropped 3 singles already.

[@ddw7105]

Have not heard them

[@The_Dynamic_One]

I need to give it a few more spins for it to seep in. L was spittin', but I didn't particularly care for Tips beat selections.

[@Darknamja]

😉😉

[@Jurnee2Peace]

Has anyone identified the person singing the opening/ closing song ???

[@DarioMilanes]

He's so hard he beefed with Jamie Fox, and was going to get Jamie jumped. Tough guy. He couldn't handle Jamie his self. Smh.

[@davidpeaston8443]

I'll always appreciate Uncle L.. remember going to his concert in the summer of 87.....that snippet you guys played sounded kinda' ugly to me though. His lyrics I have no question about it. That music though...MEH

[@lynnmartin1548]

Andre Flute Thousand is going to block you on Twitter now Roderick.

[@steveshabazz8117]

Did she disrespect jigga by calling him GAY-Z same guy who was inducted into the rock n roll hof WITH Todd

[@DarioMilanes]

He said, "stic you for your Vanguard, award."

[@DerrickUnderwood-pf4ew]

Battle L

[@DarioMilanes]

"make your wife get on the horn call Minister Farahkan"

[@DarioMilanes]

Todd is the definition of commercial rap.

[@deeward5572]

Nope

[@DarioMilanes]

Actually name a hit that wasn't about girls.

[@ampdcaramel]

Ladies Love Cool James making rap songs about women?! The shock! The horror! He’s not even from my era and I know he always balanced both-songs about and for women and great hip hop. It was better than this current era of woman hating rap.

[@curtis75black]

Rock The Bells, Radio Booming System, Jingling Baby Illegal Search

[@DarioMilanes]

Canibus, destroy him, and his female fans kept him propped up.

[@deeward5572]

Nope

[@moniquegoss845]

Sorry, but LL is not the goat

[@DarioMilanes]

Nas, Kris, The rap GOD, Big, Pac, Canibus, Black Thought, Ghost, Sean Price, All of De La, Dres from Black Sheep, is so much better, Em, Jay Z, Kendrick, Kool G, Prodigy Redman, L Boogie, Bahamdia, Guru. I can prolly name 10 more Queens rappers better than him. LL Cool J, Todd Smith, sucks. "I'll let you kick the first verse, fuck it I'll let you kick 'em all. I'll even wait for the studio audience to applaud."

[@DarioMilanes]

Ladies Love, always sucked. And he is not close to the goat

[@r.lewisblake7793]

Immortal Technique would like a word with y’all!

[@KarenHunterShow]

and he can definitely have that word. Love him.

[@cfcfan1]

You need to listen to locksmith. Unbelievable

[@DarioMilanes]

He said, "stic you for your Vanguard, award."
