I honestly can not imagine Hip Hop with out 40 years of LL Cool J! And just to let Y'all know, auto correct on my phone automatically spells Cool J after two LL's 😎! That says how much this one icon 😳 has impacted the world 🌎!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
1st of foremost thank you to all QLS team for such a iconic interview. I teach my kids the History of Hip Hop and LL Cool J is hip hop dictionary I cannot wait the album I'm gonna buy two🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 please we need part 2
Those Intros Are Golden And LL Rocked It For Us For Decades And Always Delivered Us That New Flavor And Was As Close To A Flagship As It Gets For Hip Hop For A Long Time
This podcast earns Diamond status from Ricardo Authenticity Rating. Nothing left to be said. This was Masterclass. I will spread this for the universe to witness. Great job panel. LL Cool J is The Undisputed King of Wisdom.
Required watching for anyone who wants to do anything at all. LL is like "come get these gems" and I am here thinking- Where can I get the "People think success is like hitting the lottery. It's not." t-shirt! I am forever shook up, shook down shook out on that LL vibe!
Not really. This method is outdated and useless. This is how it was in the 80’s before internet and now digital streaming. You don’t need A&R’s to blow up now. This is just his story.
"Ask Russell Simmons who put 'em up in that skyscraper. Ask my dogs up at Fubu, who made them major. LL N___a Now who's next that need a favor" True bars from LL.. one of legends..
I was actually surprised to see Heavy D with one pant leg pulled up in the The Heavy Weight Lover video yesterday. That came out years before LL did it.
I have ALWAYS looooved LL…even more when I read his book in my 20’s. He is brilliant!! But, finding out he loves GO-GO just took me to the next level with him!! LL is theeee one, and he’s so humble!!! Much love and respect!! 🙏🏾🎤🖤🙏🏾🎤🖤🙏🏾
Fortunate to still have this guy around, a lot of my heroes are dead. I loved his 14 Shots to the Dome album. I'm really looking forward to this LP and the new Common X Pete Rock one.
The GOAT… the original. 16-56. Come on. Think about that. Think about how many eras he survived, thrived and went through. Think about all the artists on Def Jam that came because of him.
@tonybravado8231 Exactly L.L. always the first Emcees I thought no one was better than, plus those who doubt listen to I Need a Beat written by a 16 years old L.L. as for lyricism The Original Rock The Bells at 17 years old. That's while he was in his teens
Great interview! I always wish we could hear a snippet of a song when it's referenced. Been playing Flava in ya ear since finishing this. LL is 100% GOAT!
Used to run into LL all the time in Queens, and he was cool. He kicked it with us when he had the Porsche 911, no security. We were side by side buying sneakers at VIM in 89... That was when that Walking with A Panther album was out. That album was and still is fiyaaahhhhh!!
I was never an LL fan as a kid. I bought a few of his albums (including G.O.A.T) but his ego kept me at bay. I have no problem with an artist taking that ish but when you walk around like you’re gods gift to the world it turns some off. The humility and growth he’s shown in this interview has finally allowed me to be the LL fan I should have been ass a kid back in the 80s/90s. 🫡
FINALLY the question is answered that I have always wanted to know. “What kind of turntables did LL’s grandparents get him?” I swear I’ve been wanting to know this for decades. The mixer LL is referring to was probably Realistic Mixer without the crossfader.
Wow, thanks guys. I was always curious about the pants leg and if it had anything to do with cycling and his role as a fitness evangelist. It was interesting that it came from seeing bike messengers but he didn't seem to understand that they do it for safety to keep their pants from catching on the chain. Also, if you check the pictures, he always had his left pant leg up. The chain is on the right side of the bicycle! So many questions. Still, great interview. I hope you have him back to clear this up.
Uncle L said it without saying it. He gave the next generation of hip hop the blueprint after making the album, "Walking With A Panther!!!" Uncle L Iz My Top 5, Dead or Alive!!!
Listen Everybody..... If you Really Wanna Know about Music History.....Quest Love Supreme is it. Guess what, a job is what 8 hours a day, listen to 3-5 of these Interviews which are 2-3 hours long. Your work day is done while being Very Educated.
This Interview is dope. Can someone tell me what the Sister said around 50:26. It was something to do with Ice T and it sounds like she said two two something I'm not sure if she's referring to the area Ice T grew up in. Also what does Phonte's Hoodie say" Thank God for......" I met LL Cool J many years ago for the second time when he was on Tour for the Ice cream summer fest. Him, Joe, Dru Hill, Monica, Ginuwine and I believe SWV were there too. One of the most humble and down to Earth Legends in Hip Hop. Looking forward to the new album with Q Tip from A Tribe called Quest my favorite Hip Hop group.
She's referencing the character he plays in Law & Order Fin Tutuola. Cause now days a lot of people know him as that character more than him being a rapper. I think it says "Thank God For Music" but i could be wrong

Yeah, but like the rest of the interviews in the Podcast Universe …….. let the…. Artist…. TALK!!!!!, this interruption shit is CRAZY!!!
I have always loved
Mr. James Todd Smith/ LL Cool J.
I love his talent, he' has always been one of my top favorites!!❤
As a fan of LL Cool, this interview was a fantastic listen!
THANK YOU! We concur
We don't have to be talking...LL....is SO RIGHT marriage/ relationship wise...After 24 years of marriage myself that is the TRUTH
LL the G.O.A.T.
One of the best interviews ever! LL is one of favorites. B.A.D. album shaped my esteem as a 6-7 yr old kid in the hood
perfectly put. my lil bro had MJs bad album. i told my mom i needed the *other* bad album.
Wow. Powerful words. Thank you!

We hope to get a Part 2 someday. Thank you for that... "iconic," indeed
Woooooow #2! The Chung King studio story is an absolute Hip-Hop classic quiz question 😅
Never knew it was LL that coined it... until this convo.
LL is the Michael Jordan of Rap ! This guy figured it out ! LL is the blue print !!!
5G
Radio. The album that insisted on me falling in love with Hip Hop. Salute LL COOL J
Indeed
Great things said by LL Cool J. A national treasure in the hip hop world. Stay cool!
Still cant believe there's a LL album produced by Q Tip 🤯 that has to be crazy
Have you heard the first single? "F.O.R.C.E." It is out
Delightful, the only part that’s surprising is how this doesn’t happen as often as it should. Hip hop would be in a way better state.
Single has been out for over a year now. Is there a release date for the album? Obviously didn't get a release, fall last yea,maybe this summer?
I'm never going to press her buttons imma turn the All on and start jamming,its official 52 years of radio waving
This interview is crazy LL is definitely the GOAT when he said sponney G he took it back. 💪🏾
The Goat 🐐 👑!!!
Great interview.
Love to see the GOAT back doing his thing
Uncle L 🔥 great interview
This was a very good interview wit the G.O.A.T
Thank you

Stay in shape, KEEP YOUR DREAMS ALIVE and keep your energy high. Uncle L perfect example 💯🫡👊
This was one of the best hip-hop interviews ever of LL he is the definition when you stand for something you won’t fall for anything👑🎤🔥💨
Excellent interview!!! Some much heritage and culture when James Todd is in the building. 🔥🔥🔥
Hip Hop Heroism.
LL is too funny in this interview 😂😂
Mr. Charisma...
lol I ❤ it.
Another Legend in Hip-Hop, Shoutout to Questlove and the Crew for this interview!!!!!
Shoutouts right back ...
cool j 👑
That two shot with LL and Quest (profile) is a great shot and would be very effective. Makes me curious about how many shots are not used on here.
LL the first to work with West Coast producers n ice cube the first hip hop artist from the west working with East Coast producers
Nice 👍
Woooooow #4. "Explosive"!?!?!...40 joints with Dr. Dre😮
Right!? Here's hoping...
GOAT
One of the best interviews I've watched in years!!! Thank you
This is incredible
Thanks!
“You can’t be afraid of silence” with the hand shifting… I hear you L! 😂😂😂
i loved walking with a panther "im that type of guy"
WORD.
54:55 OK. I need to hear this full version of Afro Connection with that lost Qtip verse 😮
His Q-Tip album has been hyped for a while. Just drop it already.
LL has always been that type of guy since "85". No big pun intended. Lol!😂
LL was a huge influence on me when I was a kid , truly a great artist.
Influence on EVERYBODY.
🎉🎉 🐐
This needs a part 2
Here's hoping someday...
L.L. Cool J's reason at one, all Emcees wanted to be on Def Jam.
love the go-go shout out ❤
Ahhhh. Salute. It all connects...
Great interview! I always wish we could hear a snippet of a song when it's referenced. Been playing Flava in ya ear since finishing this. LL is 100% GOAT!
Don't mess with ISADO HES REALLY STRONG OKEY 💪 😳 👏 😂 😤 🤣 💪
LL and Hit-Boy would be a dope record
Used to run into LL all the time in Queens, and he was cool. He kicked it with us when he had the Porsche 911, no security.
We were side by side buying sneakers at VIM in 89... That was when that Walking with A Panther album was out. That album was and still is fiyaaahhhhh!!
Dope interview y’all

Ahhhhh. One of the best comments to read. The Realistic (Radio Shack) jawns...
“Alexa, play all LL Cool J songs
ISADO REALLY IS STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY LOOK AT THE BISEPS HES SMILES A LOT BECAUSE HES CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY WITH ME TWO TRACK ME HAHAHA HES 😎

Thank you. We tried to cover all the bases
I'm glad LL and Canibus made peace truthfully,LL admitted he shouldn't had took it that way. It was a miscommunication..
Wow, thanks guys. I was always curious about the pants leg and if it had anything to do with cycling and his role as a fitness evangelist.

I think it says "Thank God For Music" but i could be wrong
I love how he keeps it real about Canibus . That battle was crazy
It was, but appears to have a positive ending...
2:03:30 on so heavy and inspiring
Doo Wop was my favorite song off Bigger And Deffer
Great song
LL has a lot of hits on the pop chart. Ironically, his biggest hit on that chart, "Mama Said Knock You Out" is his least pop sounding single.
Hardcore Marley Marl production
@@QLSProducerDj Bobcat production
Every time I hear LL's voice I keep thinking it's Kenan Thompson
