The Humility is REAL The Modesty is REAL The Gratitude is REAL The Honor is OURS We Thank LL Cool J for all he has given us thus far and all he continues to give us through his music, his radio station, and his very wise inspiration. 🙏🏽♥️✌🏽 Continued Blessings, my friend.
yea first goes off talking about the ''real humility'' not the ''fake humility'' then proceeds to joke about people that work at a supermarket ^^ very humble
@@Adolfjaeger24 I took it in a different way. Not all jobs are compatible with all personalities. I worked at a grocery store. Didn't work for me either. Got a job at an auto body shop and loved it. My former co-workers at the grocery would have hated it. Sometimes you know something is not for you. Finding the work, even if not especially grunt work when you're young is invaluable. That doesn't lower the value of a given job. How labor is paid for is a totally different convo. Not like LL dictates the economy. Even still, Dr. Dre touched on that.
@@scottmerrick9815 Well me personally find working at a grocery store more honerable and valuable than cussing on a beat for a living. But thats just me. And since they all laughed after he said what he said I think Im right and they're making fun of people working at said grocery stores
Thanking Kool Moe Dee for pushing him to complete greatness was a classy move on LL's part considering the "strong animosity" they had for one another during their rap battles for supreme control of hip hop during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Just glad to see LL and KMD are on good terms these days.
Massive, life-long LL fan (and hip-hop). So well deserved 👏 His statements at the end (as also a blues/rock/jazz musician myself) are not only respectful but fitting. The more people understand that Rock N Roll, coined by the late Alan Freed, was indeed founded in gospel, rhythm & blues, and swing. Primarily black music. Therefore, it’s natural that another iteration, as music evolved, was rap/hip-hop. They are not separate but one in the same. Grateful for all the influences in the rich heritage of music we have and continue to have and especially for the massive mark LL Cool J has made in music and in our lives! One love ✊🏽
There will never be a Hip Hop artist with a career as illustrious as L.L. Cool J's. As a rapper myself, I could never be envious of him. On the contrary, I'm extremely grateful that the musical genre that I love so much produced such as a person. Congratulations, Todd Smith. You are without question... The G.O.A.T.
Dr Dre thank YOU for the wonderful tribute you gave LL Cool J. He is the prince of the game, a TRUE legend, family man and all around cool guy. We love you LL!
Congratulations LL! You deserve it and I am so glad you was inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame, while you're still alive to see it. Love some LL Cool J 😉❤💋
The Humility is REAL The Modesty is REAL The Gratitude is REAL The Honor is OURS We Thank you, LL Cool J for all you have given us thus far and continue to give us through your music, your radio station, and your wise inspiration. 🙏🏽♥️✌🏽 Continued Blessings My Friend #G.O.A.T
At 2:38 mins this is a big moment right there....... been a longer fan of LL but still celebrated Jay. I never let myself down to put those 2 against each other but listened to both. I rather celebrate artists instead of saying one is better than the other - to me they are both GOATS and were inducted for a reason at the same day!
His ending of the speech thanking rock and roll, is EXACTLY why hip hop artists belong here. They’re children of rock and roll, brothers and sisters in alliance of authentic music
Ll Cool J you are a true, inspiring iconic legendary king of hip hop and rock and roll. Love your speeches, always. Love your big sweet heart and sense of humour. 🥰⚜️👑😘😍🏆🤍🤩🌟💎🎵✨🎙🎶🎤🐐👟

I'm a Queens kid, same age. I sat next to Simone Johnson in a few classes in Bayside HS and played ball against Andrew Jackson. I remember when he used to come to pick her up at school. It was an event, like the president was at the school
@@iec7587 That's after "I need a Beat" became his first hit". There was no Big Fan fare at Jackson at the time. Though we did watch him perform, " I need a beat"in Auto-shop class, prior to the single releasing.
To see Jay clap for LL goes to show you that all those rumors and confusion is over everybody is Grown and Happy as they should Hard work can pay off 🤞🏽proof is that ladies love cool Jay
