LL Cool J talks about Christian Rap Beef, Returning to Music & Maintaining Physical Health

[@cmain2024]

LL answered perfectly and all these riders need to chill everyone’s experiences aren’t the same. Speak your truth and authenticity.

[@VtooSmooth]

LL is the real goat dont care what anybody says. I grew up listening to him and his music is always unique and different...

[@kevintaylor9590]

The GOAT

[@gibsonfranchise]

The greatest my big bro the legendary LL cool j SNS is lava the new album gone be crazy 🎙️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DarrentBishop]

Can't wait till the album drop LL know it's raw

[@richpowerfulfamous3244]

When it comes to being an accountable for the negative thoughts, and the community and the mind of young black men rappers, don’t want to be responsible, but the day will come when you will be judged.

[@Melohoops_21]

The goat 🔥

[@misslucky5474]

I love the direction in which you took this interview. Not the same ole redundant questions. LL never disappoints, imo.

[@WiLD941official]

Thank you!

[@albertpullhoes]

LL never had drugs and violence or degrade women in his music. he the wrong one to ask, his legacy started b4 all these popular rappers we consume the last 20 years

[@byronyoung1763]

"Roll up a fat one and pass it around" Booming system. "You thought it was tobacco, the shit was cess" My rhyme ain't done.

[@VtooSmooth]

Yep LL was that guy before the internet. Definitely should be in that top 5 conversation but they hate because he doesn't just rap about drugs and killing

[@user-ye4kf9nh2z]

LL has always had modest weed references since his first album. He never glorified it. He hung with big drug dealers that told him stick with the music. He was able to “Big Wille” with legit money. History is real.

[@Help-zs1km]

OK d 1 cut up sound bit pieces so I had to hear the 🐐 goat

[@KimMessengerOfRap]

Long time Dee-1 supporter here. Dee-1 is simply asking those with a platform to change the drug and violence glorification narrative to one that builds and empowers. It's not rocket science🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[@UpliftingJas]

Exactly

[@BeWiseLegette]

This man said artist are coming with the real🤦🏿‍♂️.

I think he should have got the the question from Dee1 I might be mistaken but I don't believe that's what he fully meant. He's saying that like yeah you live that life know you don't have to preach about God 24/7. But why are we pushing negative messages to people he's asking why are these rappers out of the life that they used to live but still pushing it and promoting that on these young people who are very absorbent to these things

[@rashadmyers4330]

I appreciate you respecting dee 1 position LL. I think the host did a terrible job helping you understand his position. I think Dee-1 agrees with you LL. I believe his overall point is the contradictions that reside, not the music itself. His point is, you can't say you want change, and glorify evil. You can't say you want prison reform, and then glorify criminality

[@Heirlife86]

Man this was a whole bunch of PR answers! Ridiculous

[@ernestined.lawrence9514]

First of all respect to all of the talent American Rich celebrities, but we are African Americans raised European! To expect us to learn a foreign way of life after realizing European is not our true form, are you kidding me! To target our youth by police brutality and call it a life style is not only historically insane, it defies logic! I am not programmed to bark like a dog, fetch, and go play dead by command! Are you?

[@DoronBond]

“..not preachy…” undertones are real unnecessary

[@MrElavell]

LL has no clue… Dee-1 is saying once you made it- change your message.. How many times can you degrade your black woman, talk about the ghetto and guns… how many times? change the Message be more positive… Do not put BOB in this..

[@Hunch07]

It’s you that are clueless. What have you done?

[@VtooSmooth]

How often do you hear LL do those things you mention ? I can tell you don't listen to his albums. His positive albums are always considered bad albums by critics and rap fans. So damn if you do damn if you don't. Thing is LL doesn't try to blend in he always stands out

[@Hunch07]

@@VtooSmooth facts!💯

[@misslucky5474]

He does understand, what you mean? He said it here 14:36 - 14:47. Maybe you don't listen well.

[@byronyoung1763]

Todd needs to rethink what he said, damn L you're falling off

[@albertpullhoes]

what you mean

[@MTwezzy-Magica.MTwice_Mag]

Bro shut up

[@Hunch07]

He doesn’t have to rethink anything. You don’t have to agree with everything. 💯

[@VtooSmooth]

??

[@flowhipnotic1148]

I think you need to re-listen to what LL said. Damn B. I think you’re falling off…….See how that work. (Don’t be self righteous. LL said if you want a song about change , you do it. That’s the perfect message. Everyone always waiting for someone else to do it. Be the change you want to see.)
