[@itsiwhatitsi]

Back in time when rappers were fresh

[@mrsoulsodeep8530]

LL ain't never been garbage!!!!

[@sunflo2001]

This was before rap went mainstream. His belief in his self and what hip hop would become is phenomenal. Definitely a pioneer.

[@shepherdjohnson5381]

Some people are BORN LEGENDS!! LL is king!

[@hrizon2871]

So true, game's missing you LL

[@BORISK5]

LL is icon!!!

[@theeyeinthesky3854]

And that's the reason why we still listen to his music!

[@davidmaez7253]

L.L is a legend, a good dude. He strived and flourished me and him are the same age.

[@mullaneymike79]

It's crazy that other countries was on hip hop before we were

[@jackstar6018]

HipHop started here. That makes no sense

[@reggiereubens1825]

Man has knowledge respect ll

[@Mario-cv5el]

This guy can spit out a song on the fly LEGEND

[@deprofessor1]

Dope!!! LL was right, rappers now a days are the top and even the ladies are climbing up.

[@BEATSbyIROAM]

2:20 what he said about female rappers and Rappers being way up there in the music game at the top.Funny what he said way back then has come to light

[@blackturkdog]

@Matthew Pennerman uh, nah.

[@waynefmj]

@Matthew Pennerman Agreed

[@atomkraftteddy]

I videotaped it in 1986 here in the Netherlands. It's part of a documentary about the hiphop movement those days. It's made by the VPRO. The interviewer Marcel Vanthilt is from Belgium.

[@Scotty-P]

This is New School. LL Cool J is by definition, New School. The 'Old School' ends at the end of 1984.

[@lorenzoperry9558]

My favorite rapper Mr 'll cool j for real

[@djinnmagik4817]

Great underground interview of the badass LL Cool J 👊🏾🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@mattdealin]

wow that verse he spit in the beginning wasnt heard on record till 1988 on "bigger and deffer" LP atleast thats the first time i heard it cuzz i never saw this interview

[@jackstar6018]

Deffer came out in 87

[@glensterwert6539]

classic shit young ll cool j

[@Too2FarGone]

Thanks for posting... it's refreshing to see old interviews like this!!!

[@rocketk1442]

Uncle L changed the game! What would the rap game be like if you removed LL. The rap game wouldn't be the same! LL is the 🐐

[@averyt6521]

This is deep what you said. I agree with ya. Peeps need to know this cat is so so ahead of time and creative.

[@Russellbeta]

this made me smile

[@johnplayersstandard]

man this is old school

[@mrpapafunky7879]

ll my nigga he grew up i like dat cocky youthful swag

[@finob937]

OMG! I'm a fan since 1987 due to the intro of "I need love" heard on the car radio on the way to the movies where I told ALL to SHUT UP!, as it was just one of those songs that I just GOT to hear. I want to hear this song so shut up! Don't remember the movie but I remember the first time I heard his song on the radio. When I heard his voice, OMG! I love him even more! When I saw him, OMG!!! those beautiful brown eyes! Anyway, doing some research on Ancestry.com only to find out that my paternal grandfather owned a house 3 minutes from LL's grandparents house many years earlier. I knew they lived in Brooklyn way back in the day, but I had no idea they also lived in Queens.

[@DoctorRevers]

Smooth brother.

[@Marcos-uh7vm]

It's funny how he called E-Love "Easy E" before Compton's Eazy-E rose to fame.

[@Too2FarGone]

@jdominod1 Mama told him knock 'em out... I love how she encouraged his rap career... a lot of older folks looked at rap/hip-hop as garbage, but not his grandmom!!! God Bless Her Soul!!!!

[@kintarri74]

STR8 B-BOY STYLE!

[@mids100]

well spoken ll love the ending.

[@suzannevanhaaster357]

how cool

[@willchill4505]

The beginning of the GOAT!!!

LL Cool J

[@Astroxtl]

this video is crazy!!!wow

[@williammcarty6873]

love this shit! witnessing an original b-boy right here

[@shepherdjohnson5381]

william mcarty hell yeah! Miss those days! They dressed fresh! The fresher the better! I don't know what the hell these kids wearing now! Plus they can't rap worth a shit.

[@jackstar6018]

1986! I was like 5😂

[@chiko32100]

man das waren zeiten,say yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah!

[@averyt6521]

LL baby!!

[@brusie15]

ll is the boss^^

[@PhntmStudios]

damnnn LL was nasty

[@dedserious93]

hes watching his back like crazy ....bobcat use to have his back like crazy.

[@TheBookofTobit]

Nice neighborhood

[@3alarm247]

LL said who wants to hear raps about how bad life is? Then West Coast reality rap takes over.

[@isata88]

Interesting. This well explains why LL fell hard through the "positivity" era of hip hop. Also why he barely drops any sad songs.

[@djplatanoshwagg7863]

lmao omg the way he talks and his mannerism's when he was younger remind me of stevie j.!

[@freakboy40]

Yeah, he is the G.O.A.T.

[@snowskee7769]

why would someone pay to hear how bad life is

[@williammcarty6873]

either you related or you didnt...hiphop wasnt meant for ppl like you...you got pop/rap in the 2gs its all good

[@pauloskidane2819]

LL should be glad that Mel didn’t hear this. Mel would give him a lyrical spanking.

[@gotkickz6]

You wanna know why ? Cus the same way people pay to hear drake talk about his broken hearts and feelings. There a purpose and meaning to everything ok, if you dont want to hear how bad life is simply dont go and don’t question how somebody should do things the way they want. Smh

[@olgafigueroa2909]

@@pauloskidane2819 who?

[@trudytriad4574]

Personality off the charts! 🤣💯

[@360grafics]

It's not the LA Rapper "Eazy E". It is LL's Friend and Hype Man "E-Love" that LL names Easy E. I guess the LA Rapper wasn't known before 1988 and this is 1986!

[@dennisscott5102]

"COOL/KOOL IS THE WORD!!!!"

[@berryola]

I agree

[@LiL-D..909]

Before drake was even born there was LL

[@melvin11429]

[@ThomasVente]

@djrestless The documentary is called "Big Fun in the Big Town" and the full version can be found on Google Video.

[@ChiknThighTatorPie]

I wonder what LL thinks about when he looks back at these vids

[@lawrenceblack322]

"I'm a bad motherfucker."

[@misslucky5474]

[@DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

Wow im seeing the real time 1980s!! the mf 80's! its crazy because this interview was done a decade before I was born haha. That is just crazy weird. Every decade existed at some point. This was 28 years ago...but it does really feel or look like it really. The only differences are the cars and the clothes.

[@NeonKC]

DaOldSchoolRapLova96 "every decade existed at some point" what a profound statement

[@NeonKC]

DaOldSchoolRapLova96 "every decade existed at some point" what a profound statement

[@DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

chaja95 u don't get what im sayin b. I am not seeing the 80s from a movie or a tv show. I am seeing the 80s from a real life cameras point of view. The air the wind the cars the kids playing out etc. Of course I know it existed but its different knowing that this particular film, was made A DECADE before I was even popped out.

[@Dank_Dank]

+chaja95 Yep

[@R0NOPOLY]

HE BASICALLY DISSED THE WHOLE SOULTRAIN SET * JERI CURL SUCKERS WEARING HIGH HEEL BOOTS Lol.

[@olgafigueroa2909]

Back when he was PERFECTION. I am uncertain why he had to resort to plastic surgery to alter his face.

[@nybornFunk]

saw the swagg---legend in leather, long n lean...uno what a mean?

[@xTHEPANTHERSx]

thats true though who does wanna hear about how bad life is

[@Toxicdemon2]

Marcel Vanthilt on MTV that is OLD !!! LOL

[@mattdealin]

Eazy E was has been easy e since atleast 86....boyz n da hood was released as a single in 86/87...believe or not hip hop in the east only pre dates its west coast counterpart by a year or two if that...hip hop spread like wild fire...even the south was getting it in by the early 80s

[@blackadam06]

mattdealin "believe or not hip hop in the east only pre dates its west coast counterpart by a year or two if that" SMH...anyone who actually subscribes to that notion, OBVIOUSLY doesn't know much about the lineage or history of the culture and music.

[@vaugenheimnughnrn8723]

That's not eazy e from nwa

[@vaugenheimnughnrn8723]

Hip hop has been around since the 70s

[@WallTrapMedia]

@@vaugenheimnughnrn8723 If we afe talking rapping then the South and Midwest were the first with Rudy Ray Moore and Blowfly.

[@richarddaniels4087]

Rick Rubeun the First Co-owner with Russell Simon's took Hip-Hop to the West Coast, the only reason why New York fell in the Hip- Hop science. They used dope Beats and life on the streets that the ZIONIST created to get ride our youth with Fake ass Gangster Rappers. Easy E. And Too Short were Real, all those other Rappers, including Tupac were all created to Kill off and keep Isrealites Men and Women in these Prison Industrial Complex System.

[@averyt6521]
