  • 1st Rap superstar who was smart enough to not only rely on music alone, walked away from the label with all his masters and created something for us Old School Hip Hop fans - truly the G.O.A.T.. He came a long way from Farmers Blvd.
  • Man you can tell when he says he loves it he means it. The way talks about going on tour and performing is beautiful!

    LL is being humble, Michael Jackson was inspired by LL Cool J's 'I'm Bad' you can even hear it in the bass line, and also Whodini 'Friends/ Freaks come out at night' vinyl cover. LL is a true icon.

    Thank you LL Cool J for putting on this tour. As a huge Hip Hop fan we are sick and tired of the current artist who missed the assignment of this art. The sound and the b boy style is so important. The performance at the Grammys set it off. We want pure Hip Hop to last for ever. My daughter and I can't wait to get our tickets to the concert.

    LL Cool J has been a staple in my life for 37 years... the 1 true GOAT. Salute to LL 🙏🏽
  • Wholesome interview. Thank You LL for making time for us again 💪🏽
  • LL is hip hop like the ocean is water. Or something. What he's done in recent years to elevate the culture is astounding. TRULY the Greatest of All Time.
  • @FrenchJae
    LL got into Hip Hop and made it out alive and with all his senses still intact. All his teeth still aligned and money still flowing. Most rappers dont escape flawlessly.

    I was 12 years old in 1984. The year I fell in love with Hip Hop. I remember it like it was yesterday UTFO, Run Dmc, and LL Cool all shaped my taste in music. Forever grateful. 💯
  • I remember me 15 years, old sitting in my little room in Germany listen to doin it (funky remix) over and over again. It’s amazing catching this vibration he spreads out all over the world. I am now turned 40 and still feeling it ❤ so much love. One person can change the world, it’s true ✨
  • LL IS A REALIST RAPPER AND TRUE AMBASSADOR OF HIP HOP REPRESENTING IT VERY WELL FOR 3 DECADES AND COUNTING!!

    My First Favorite Rapper! I can’t even explain the impact you’ve had on My Life! I appreciate you and all that you continue to do for Hip Hop.
  • @mayhemcbs
    I think it is impossible to measure how much impact this man has had on the game.

    Haha, "I Need Love" was the first song whose lyrics I memorized. Back in the days of pausing and rewinding cassettes, in order to transcribe and practice. I was seven. 😅🥰😇 SN- I remember when LL came to visit the Roxbury Boys & Girls Club around then; some time in the late 80's. It was a huge deal for us, especially living in that area. He spoke to us in the 🏀/gym, and a couple of us yelled that we loved him; to which he replied back, respectfully: "I love you, too". We believed him, and we nearly lost it.🤣😂 Anyhow, he's remained an authentic being, became an amazing family man, a class act, and a great example. One of the greatest men of our generation, IMO.
  • A real Legend!!! LL Cool J is such an insperation he does it all Rap star, Movie star, TV. Star ans also a true Dream the man is Fire such a beautiful man!! The GOAT.😍🔥👑
  • I absolutely love LL Cool J. He was one of my first favorite rappers growing up, especially being from South Jamaica Queens. I remember meeting him in person, he is so down-to-earth. Great family man. I hope him and his family continues to have a wonderful and blessed life.
  • @lockyock7
    I just love LL passion for life period!!
  • First concert I ever attended was LL Cool J, Run D Mc, Public Enemy(and the S1W's) at the Reunion Arena Dallas TX late 80s . LL Cool J had this Boom Box the sizes of a house on stage....epic. I, too, along with Hip Hop, turn 50 this year. 🎉
