Words By Prop Jay
While LL has certainly lost a step lyrically, you can’t hate the man for being on the wrong side of 40 and still dropping science. The beat behind “Raise It Up” bangs and LL unexpectedly has caught me off guard with this. I’ve never been one to fuck much with him beyond his most recognized tracks but he manages to show that his lyrical prowess is still intact so I respect that.
My anti-LL’ness* stems from the fact I could always do with more shirt and less sweat everytime I see him. Just rap homie, and please, quit lickin your lips! Those muscles and the rest of your innuendo has yet to grab me (||).

Well, I wasn’t going to check this out earlier…but since you gave it a stamp, it can’t hurt.
I’ve been a fan off LL Cool J since the days of Wildcats and Radio, heck, he even did his thing in Halloween H20 and he knows how to cold rock the spot when it comes to live shows.
Meanwhile, in other news, Gatti’s death ruled to be suicide, wife must be released:-

===================================
where?
Is this new? I think I heard him shout out Def Jam at the beginning.
It’s new as in it hit today. When he recorded it is another thing.
His ability to spit bars is still there, beyond that I can;t say LL was ever a super lyrical cat.
Too many “baby, Baby Baby Baby” for me
wow i aint been on the section for a week and first thing i see is LL.. what the fuck , i just went through a musical clensing, and to come back to this?? por queeeeee!!(whyyyyy!!) … 0ne!
Damn… I can’t even co sign this …. I tried tho, really i did but this is on cheese factor level 10
beyond that I can;t say LL was ever a super lyrical cat
=========================================
Au contraire, mon frère. Please see his verse on 4,3,2,1. He shut that shit down.

LL’s career shouldve ended after Canibus shredded his shit. Canibus won the beef but LL stayed relevant somehow. Can anybody explain that?
^^^
Because LL won the “battle, beet,” whatever. LL stayed relevant and Canibus didn’t.
“You came in wit’ that bullshit and some heads soaked it up/til’ you dropped that garbage album and fucked it all up…” — LL from “Been So Long.”
Can-I-Bust.
we all know canibus is a clown who could never get production but his diss tracks were better than LLs.
Why LL won and Canibus lost? Easy answer .. see 1st solo album from Canibus.
AKA @ TC said. PERIOD. END OF.
good track fosho
LL won and LL is a versatile rapper/MC/Artist. Peeps still dont see that he makes tracks for all peeps. Some like this dont like that and visa versa but LL is the goat fo sho to me. He keeps goin like the energizer rabbit. Yall never heard what ya hood like? Rasta imposta, fo sho, niggy nuts, ripper strikes back. the truth. ring tone murder, it’s time for war, versatility there, oh yeah and put ya hands up with a lil shut em down.
