LL Cool J on New Album Produced by Q-Tip, Kendrick vs Drake, Creating The Term GOAT & Longevity 

OG rappers who manage to stay relevant are a special breed

LL Cool J is a certified LEGEND and I can't wait for his new album 🎤💯

Nas and Hit Boy…Common and Pete Rock..Nas and Preemo…and now LL and Q Tip??

If Q-Tip producing LL's new album it finna be a classic 🔥💯.

LL is back Saturday night special is fire I’m Loving it

This album been done !! We’ve been waiting for a 3 years !!! The FORCE is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL is crazy !!

This the year we make sure the goats win

One thing that I have always admired about LL as a younger hip hop fan is his charisma. This guy is in his mid-50s and still captures my attention with his personality.

First off the new joint is 🔥. LL is one of my favourite MC's EVER. The gems in this Interview OMG. What I Iove is the Kev is a genuine fan so the interview flows beautifully.

I don’t care what anyone says Hip Hop is back! It’s the verity of Hip Hop that makes it what it is, when all the genres of Hip Hop can coexist at the same time is what makes it unique. Hip Hop saved my life and raised me, these men and women gave me so much wisdom growing up without a father. I’m a 80’s baby and a 90’s kid, I am apart of the first generation of Hip Hop kids and I’m so proud of this last great American art form.

LL is not old school, not new school, just classic 🎤 💯

Nas and DJ Premier, Common and Pete Rock, LL and Q-Tip!? What a great year for HIP-HOP!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

From I Need A Beat to Saturday Night Special! The 🐐 is back!!!!

LL and Q Tip! Nothin more to be said!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

LL Cool J the G.O.A.T. I’m loving the “Saturday Night Special” track it’s str8 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and I look forward to his new album.

Hey LL, you still that dude, energy there, style is enormous with track, classic and elegant, stay blessed and be blessed 🔥

James Todd Smith 💪🏽🔥🎙💯

8:00 Kendrick 14:40 Kendrick

man can't wait for this album

My favorite rapper is 13 months younger than me (56,57). I have been rocking with the 🐐 for 40 plus years

I saw this man light up the stage in 1986 at the Brixton academy London,def jam tour,first time they had been there,Beastie Boys,LL and the mighty Run DMC,I’m guessing LL must’ve been what 17/18 yo,same age as me,what I night,after seeing DJ Cheese and Word of Mouth,hip hop got me hooked,thanks for this Love and peace from Ireland

LL rap's first solo superstar is still relevant and fresh on the 🎤🎙️

I can tell when L made this single he was really trying to bring people down to earth with a profound message of humility 😏

Good move, letting Q tip produce the album.

LL's voice is timeless.

Dope cut!!!!

About time, Hip Hop is back and in full effect. Now kids, all these legends about ro show you guys hiw its suppose ro be done and sound. LL Cool J/Q-Tip, Pete Rock/Common,Nas/DJ Premier, Rakim, etc.......Kids better lisren and put down shaking booty and pick up a book

That was "4 seasons" not "CEREAL KILLER" , thats the song you thinking of

Im glad to see the OGs finally coming back and showing how its suppose to be when it comes to Hip Hop!

Can't wait for the album 💯

LL COOL J aka The G.O.A.T. 🎧🎤🔥💪🏾

Great interview Kev!

Dope interview and great perspective. I discovered Hip-Hop at 9 years old and never looked back. It has informed so much of who I am today. Salute to the pioneers like LL, Run-DMC, etc. Thank you!

LLCool J is Hip hop one of the founders, legendary The Goat lovin the new song dope 💥💯💯

So pumped for the album. Loved everything he was saying in this interview.

That Blue Chew Ad is Crazy in the middle of this interview LMAO

Dope interview Kev. I was fortunate enough to be able to work in the studio with LL back in 2012. GOAT 🐐

Salute to LL 🫡 dope to see him on the podcast Kev!

You did it again Kev.Exceptional interview with the G.O.A.T.!

Hip Hop memories I remember my pops bought this album and didn't even listen to Hip Hop at the time while working at Roadium swap meet in Compton California, selling furniture with Pop's and my older brother Manny. My pops Pedro, bought Black Panther by LL Cool J in 1989 from the his Asian friend who sold 99 cent stuff before the 99cent store but also sold Hip Hop tapes singles and entire albums along with "The Great adventures of Slick Rick' Oh man those became Staples in my Puerto Rican household growing up. My pops played " A Teenage Love" over and over. I believe that week or sometime around that year I made enough money on a Saturday working at that outdoor swap meet with my pop's enough to buy my first cassette tape ever. I bought the single from Biz Markle "just a friend with the instrumental on the b side and my brother bought Digital Underground "Humpty Dance" It wasn't the first hip hop we were listening to but it was the first cassette tape I ever owned personally. Along with my older big brother Pete, who was already playing this stuff in his room like Rodney O & Joe Cooley West Coast legends while we we're living in Paramount California, working at the outdoor swap meet on the weekends all over Southern Cal. Add the visiting the Bronx with my mom's via Greyhound every summer since 84/85. It wouldn't be long before I started playing that LL Cool J Black panther cassette daily and it became a favor to my household. It wasn't long after I wanted to be like that "I'm that type of guy" along with Slick Ricks "Hey young World" Hip Hop was in my blood. The good old crazy days.... It's all love ❤ from then 2 now and beyond. The average JoBlow

In Too Deep! Classic movie, classic soundtrack!

Good shxt to see, seems like the OG's on to something... 🤙🏾💯

Game and LL on a track would be Classic

salute LL.for.your contributions

B.A.D. was one of the first hip hop albums I ever owned! This interview was 🔥🔥🔥!

LL Cool J is The Goat! You Saved Hip Hop.😀.

Aye yo people been sleepin on Q-Tip!!! 💯

🔥 Track

I'm excited. I'll definitely give his albums some spins.. out of PURE RESPECT. I hope this album catches on and becomes something special for the culture.. 2024 is one of the greatest years I've ever experienced. Who would've thought, Kdot would claim the official be crowned KING in the same year as LL COOL J's (The Original GOAT) album release...

I love hope the dope MCs are bringing back the dope producers.

LL the 🐐💯

When drake and Kendrick first started beefin and sending shots, LL and canibus was the first comparison I thought of you have drake who is the chart toping, actor and ladies man but still can get down with raps if need be just like LL and then you have Kendrick the lyrical tyrant with a chip on his shoulder who stays off the radar just like canibus creating a epic feud so to hear LL take on it was great!

Masterpiece

CLASSIC

That biggie studio talk gonna be epic when ever yall meet up for that in studio interview!

👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽.

🐐🐐🐐

I remember seeing LL in Miami when he first started out in our Flea Market on 79 street called Liberty Market.

"The greatest athletes in the world are the most vulnerable.... Because in order to take the game winning shot, you have to risk missing it." - LL Cool J

The Greatest Song 🎵

I was wondering who made that fire ass beat. Of coarse Q-tip!! Really excited for this album now.

that sat nite spesh, all the way live

That new LL and Eminem is crazy!! “MURDERGRAM”.

ORIGINAL GOAT 🐐

Yeah that delux dmx disc was a classic had some onyx songs on there too . Wish I knew as a kid to take better care of my cds

People who are old enough to know that L always got busy ever since he was with Rick Rubin they used to record in his college dorm room in 1985 86 when i need a beat dropped L gets busy and he's with the smoke on all levels....

LL is the Goat and im offended that he isnt always in the GOAT conversation.

LL was not on Cereal KIller on Red & Meth's Blackout. He was on 4 Seasons.

Man I been a big fan of LL for a long time. And I have wanted him to drop another album for a long time. He done went and got one of my fav producers Q-Tip and made a whole album? Man I’m bout to lose my mind lol! I can’t wait for this. We know it’s Ladies Love Cool James but Rick Ross said it best at the beginning of his verse… “LIVING LEGEND COOL JAMES”.

LL Listed Pharoahe Monch As One Of His Favorites! That's What It Is!!!Peace, LL....

The F.O.R.C.E. Is Real!!!! Peace To The Abstract And LL...

Cannibus had a great feature sir

ll ross joe, on qtip go so so so hard man

You can bump this - LL cool J feat G-unit underated song

L's verse on 4321 is arguably the greatest verse ever in Hip Hop... I just wanted to say that

LL book was the first non fiction book I read for fun. Had to be elementary school. Probably was too young to read it. It had some graphic things in there

Hip Hop GOAT

Queens get the Money

16:48 H20!!!!!

Now real rappers are coming back .

GOAT

big. Does vlad have a ll interview?

LL is the Michael Jordan of rap ! BLUE PRINT ! GOAT BEST TO EVER DO IT!

Imagine a world where Vlad thinks that he is too big for Kev and LL is not.

Okay I’ll start it! I am devoted to lyrics sampling and boom bap as the foundation of the culture. That being said I appreciate Ross’ artistry more than I will take time to explain but I wanted to hear more from his verse; particularly in that middle emcee position. What Tip did sonically goes without saying and should be studied in music classes.

Crazy how Marsha and dre coming out, LL coming out, and common and Pete coming out?? Bananas!!!!

Bootleg Kev ain't slick with his guest verse question at 5:00. Because we all know.....

lol said f that imma keep this one queens on this one. Q tip

Cool j

He Has The Mental Capacity To Do This.

The greats are bringing hip hop back. No more used to love h.e.r.

IN TOO DEEP

Ill bomb, greatest record of all time…

Kool moe dee aint dropped an album in 30yrs, Slick Rick 25yrs, Big daddy kane 26yrs. Cool J makes a point are these dudes scared or lack confidence? Slick rick want to perform the same songs and be like look at my new outfit and chain. Its kinda sad. I dont expect a classic in 2024, just give me 3 top-notch songs out of an album.
