[@DJ_Shenanigan00]

This is why us old heads won't stop talking about the importance of lyrics!

[@troymcdonald]

WORD!

[@nattydredka]

Annnnnnddddddd you could hear every single word........I will always rock with the Old School Hip Hop legends!!! Happy 50th Hip Hop!!

[@lamarcraven2314]

Talk yo shit Homie 🫡

[@mac_fresh8675]

But I jus wanna rock, yadda yadda yah!!! 😂 I couldn't agree more I capped my intake of hiphop as soon as most of the goats started retiring. Only a select few from the new age tick my boxes and that's jcole and kendrick. I'm sick of senseless dribble over a hard beat....... WASTE of a beat 😢

[@nathandaniels8459]

​@@nattydredkaHells MUFUKIN Yeah!

[@atlnla4112]

He gave you a story, vocabulary, metaphors on top of metaphors, all in a clear intelligible, understandable on the beat,in rhythm flow. From the early days of rap to today, still relevant and on top of the game. You’re CRAZY if he’s not in the top all time. No back seat to anybody.

[@KristineToyens]

True meaning of hip hop!! Well said!!

[@jdtrading4465]

Word! I miss raps like these. Straight intelligence on the mic educating on every level of lyricism

[@cry_now_laugh_later]

Yeah, but it wasn’t a real freestyle meaning he wrote all that out before hand not to take away from the verse, but not as impressive as people coming on the show and actually coming up with stuff off the top of their head…

[@pierrecastanets1974]

He prepared and performed. No points deducted.

[@904KenFolk]

Still the goat

[@charlieroberts690]

i only watched it 22 times since finding it yesterday. everyone does that I'm sure.

[@P.o.e.t-MSR]

Yes, we do

[@Cmelo7100]

I concur with the person above

[@toby2k75]

It's a damn shame the younger crowd only know LL from acting. Dude is a legend on the mic.. "moving chess pieces like telekinesis, as a toddler he walked with 2 panthers on leashes"🔥🔥🔥🗽🗽

[@gak4581]

Word. I had to play songs for them to understand...same for Will Smith and Queen Latifah.

[@toby2k75]

@gak4581 facts!!!! Latifah better than half of the rappers today🤣🤣

[@datgood1908]

Shit I grew up in the 90s by then ll was making hits for the ladies but he's a true mc from back in the 80s

[@stackmosayless-1669]

You do know when he was about 19 he had a album called "Walking with a Panther". And on the album cover he posed with a panther and the panther was wearing LL's gold rope chain. Mind you this was 89😮

[@toby2k75]

@stackmosayless-1669 yes sir indeed!!! I was 2 years old when that album dropped ☹️🤣 I'm old.. but that's why I typed that bar. That album was 🔥

[@Raizen_5151]

"To the parents he's a legend, to the children a myth."

[@therealjordie]

My name is Peter McNeil Jr and I agree lol

[@willbrock6665]

TIMELESS.

[@manuel_winde]

LL never gets mentioned when people talk about the GOAT but he’s been there consistently since day 1.

[@ramire7heavenz252]

​@manuel_winde he created the term. Amazing 🐐

[@toyotatommy2434]

TO THIS DAY!!!

[@miserablew1zrd916]

That's true Hip Hop, Story telling, poetry and Knowledge! People forget LL can really spit.

[@shauncameron8390]

LL Cool J = still something like a phenomenon.

[@lewismilligan3891]

"back to elevate the culture, that is my only Motive"..... 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

[@thesouthsidec646]

Revolutionary with guns loaded Back to "Revlevate," the culture That's my only motive.

[@BoogieBoogsForever]

😂😂 It was dope but yeah he did miss that one.

[@ridge7524]

💯💯💯💯💯

[@Neichus]

​@@BoogieBoogsForeverhe would've missed the pocket it if he pronounced "elevate" instead, so he had to stretch that one a bit

[@slumlife119]

LL still got it 🔥🔥🔥

[@retlaw190]

He never lost it

[@michaelwilliamson7626]

That's an understatement.... L is fire ... young rappers take notes!

[@lyrical-T-cm1gu]

LL will serve it 2 any m.c. that would try him in 2024 still the g.o.a.t real m.c. lyricist menace since 85

[@DontplaywithKingYahorHis55555]

Less than 2 minutes he just killed every new modern day rapper career.

[@denrico777]

It was good but naw. You obviously aint seen King Los's la leakers freestyle.

[@DangDudeee]

40 years at it...still 🔥

[@TreDogOfficial]

He doesn't just rap, he tells a story!

[@TeeToppDesigns]

Your favorite rapper ain’t here without the impact of LL

[@carlosizz89]

Us old heads grew up with lyricism and freestyles were the stone where you sharpen your tongue. Keep bringing the legends back to drop some bars for the culture.

[@samuelsmall6328]

Yo, a lil freaking louder please

[@meechgangsports7119]

As an 80's baby.. My soul Needed this!! 🙌🏾

[@OGFitzRoy]

Word. Just saw him live last week. Never missed a step

[@jamesdavis8205]

76, I always make my son play me two songs when I'm hanging out with his peeps. To show them the difference between hip hop and rap.. cause they don't really know

[@MiguelGonzalez-nx6gn]

💯

[@MiguelGonzalez-nx6gn]

“Watch yaself don’t ever step outta line, LL Cool J --, greatest of all time.” LL COOL J

[@kareemeternal5914]

This is why I will always say, when it comes to hip hop, no one cares about age. I don't care if a rapper is 40,50 or 60, if they can still flow, they can still flow. LL Is a legend

[@HatianHurricane]

THAT'S WHAT IS KNOWN AS REAL HIP HOP!!! YOU YOUNG BOYS COULD NEVER UNDERTSTAND!!!!

[@Somethingsomethingmorbid0]

Wasnt expecting to hear a new LL freestyle at all! OG snapped 💯

[@tryrainey1]

Don't think it was really off the top of the head.

[@materialmirage]

@@iamhereblossom1588 Show us ANY proof that it wasn't a freestyle.

And thats how you drop lethal bars. No fillers, just straight amo. L been killing it for decades now.

[@marvincaldwell3564]

[@Koedean]

@@marvincaldwell3564 exactly right. I could rattle off a massive list but we both know already.

My favorite rapper since 1984 is still dropping 🔥🔥🔥🔥!! The 🐐 LL Cool J! This freestyle is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@toddmaek5436]

SO aint nobody gonna mention how LL came on Sway and got into his CANIBUS BAG with the bars???

[@mr.severe514]

The LL Cool J freestyle we didn’t tought we needed! 🔥 Wasn’t expecting him delivering that way, timeless MC 💯

[@jflack6]

*think

[@aisubjective]

He Snapped ! It shows how much those from his era took the Freestyles seriously. There were layers in that Freestyle !

[@kudabeen]

Many...the way real MCs are well read and just have a depth of references...history, classic literature, poets, pop, mythology, iconic imagery all while staying in pocket and finding where to play on the beat...nasty and timeless.

[@SuperFunkykool]

​@@kudabeenschool 'em som

[@iamhereblossom1588]

Don't think it was a real freestyle.

[@robf900]

@@iamhereblossom1588it wasn’t. He’s rapped it before

[@retrokidbk83]

Freestyles meant writtens free of style, structure, bridge, hook, chorus. Off the dome is the improvised on the spot verse.......that gets mixed in as what a freestyle is. LL spit written aka a Freestyle.

[@JustbeingCed]

"They saw horns and said it's a goat" best line of the freestyle

[@Wetrockstah2116]

Ll cool J is one special individual. Dude is timeless and a true living legend. 💯💯

[@BubbleboyJ]

In 5 years we will be back here listening to this freestyle. This will forever be TIMELESS. Giving you, your flowers while you're still with us LL🎉

[@ralphmeta7533]

It's crazy how his style is almost identical to what it was 30 years ago and still relevant and CRUSHING it.

[@tajirikingking2619]

"Umbilical cord turned into gold as a mic appeared in his hand..." WHAATTTT!!! THIS FAYAAA!! THE LEGEND IS TALKING ON HIW HIS BORN INTO THIS WORLD IN A LEGENDARY WAY!! FAYAAA!!💥💥

[@kenstevens7855]

These youngins need to take notes. LL was hard without ever having to pose as a criminal. He could make joints for the ladies without having to sing melodies. Just an elite MC in every way.

[@emramirez7846]

...and THAT is why he is on my top 5 of ALL time. You betta' remind them Todd. 🔥🐐

[@jhunter213]

A dying art. Had me walking with him focused in on the rhymes he was spittin. Absolutely a legend in the game.

[@danielhoward6558]

Made me scrunch my face in the best way. This verse was a masterpiece. Incredible wordplay. Masterful storytelling.

[@kapitolp7460]

People in 2023 want to act as if LL didn’t coin himself the goat back in the 90s and nobody said anything about it because we all respected it.

[@oldschoolq4327]

LL Cool J Is Hard As Hell 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Funksgroove1]

At age 55, LL still has some "gun boats" on him. I think he has been lifting weights for a couple of decades now. He is an example of longevity in strength and muscle conditioning; and he is also an inspiration to start exercising if you haven't been.

[@MrCamwilliams7]

To the parents he’s a legend to the children a myth! 🔥🔥🔥 LL a real storyteller! Real MCs use to get on the mic & tell stories! I also hate the division in hip-hop where it’s this era vs that 1, that’s WACK! If everyone collabed this would be a much different world
