I can remember a local R&B DJ in my hometown being fired for playing 'Rock The Bells on air. He knew that song and that artist was on to something and decided to give it some local exposure. When LL blew up, he was re-hired. The dumb radio leadership people realized he was right. 50 years and rap is still here, and LL is an Icon.

LL Cool J, the iconic originator of the term GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), has undeniably left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. His diverse talents and contributions span music, fashion, literature, and entrepreneurship, making him a true legend. As a trailblazing actor and fashion influencer, LL Cool J has continuously pushed boundaries. He proudly endorsed Fubu clothing, a BLACK-owned entity, and his unique jewelry style has become legendary. In fact, he made history by being the first artist to showcase the Nike Air Jordan sneakers on his album cover back in 1985. LL Cool J's impact on music is immeasurable. He broke new ground by creating the first hip-hop love song, showcasing his versatility as an artist. With an astonishing 10 platinum albums to his name, his music remains timeless and relatable, captivating audiences for nearly four decades. In addition to his musical prowess, LL Cool J has made a mark in the literary world as an author, sharing his insights and experiences. He has also collaborated with visionary director Hype Williams, producing visually stunning music videos that set a new standard for quality in the industry. Beyond his accomplishments in music and film, LL Cool J has received numerous accolades, including a Hollywood Star and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His entrepreneurial spirit has led him to venture into various successful business endeavors, further solidifying his legacy. Let's not forget the annual concert event, "Rock the Bells," which has become a celebrated tradition, attracting fans from all walks of life. It serves as a testament to LL Cool J's lasting impact and his ability to unite music lovers. With a new album on the horizon and an upcoming book release, LL Cool J continues to innovate and inspire. As much as Nas and Jay-Z shine in their own right, it is crucial that we recognize LL Cool J's immense contributions and give him the respect he deserves. He truly embodies the essence of the GOAT. Let's celebrate the multifaceted talents and unparalleled achievements of LL Cool J, a true legend in the entertainment industry.

Hip Hop is revolutionary! To see artist from the early days still performing and living their life is awesome. Why cant our art form be just as great as the other genres? We need to treat our older artist with the same respect Rock n Roll, Pop, Country, etc does. LL came to my high school graduation at Andrew Jackson (1999). He was very humble, cool, and collected. Nice spirit then and still is now.

Great Interview Angela just wanted to show some love and once again Mr. Smith always drops some great words of wisdom that make you think. LL has been my favorite Role Model since I was a Kid and he's still one of the greatest Emcees of all time. "Mama said knock you out" is still my favorite LP and if you haven't seen him live make sure you do he's a true Emcee to the Art form. I met him way back in the day at the Ice cream Summerfest in the T Dot (Toronto, Canada). One of the nicest Guys who is super humble. Congratulations on the new album LL Cool J thank you for your contribution to Hip Hop. Shout outs to Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest for making LL want to call Q Tip. ATCQ are my favorite Hip Hop group of all time so I have to give them their props too. I have to get tickets for this Tour it's going to be dope!!! RIP Phife 🙏🏾
