• LL Cool J the track listing from his final CD on Def Jam. LL held down Def Jam for many years and does not get the respect he deserves from the new generation of Hip Hop fans. But he was and always will be one of the the Top Hip Hop artists of all time.

LL cleared up initial rumors about his last Def Jam release being exclusively produced by the G-Unit leader but did admit they recorded an entire album’s worth of music.”50 is not executive producing the whole album be we did a whole album together and I used like four or five songs,” he said. “I didn’t want to be ‘51 Cent.’ I want to make sure that I was giving them L. God knows that last thing I needed to do is wait ‘til my 13th album and play son-son and all that.”

Promising the decision to trim his selection down to single digits from the multi-platinum selling rapper was based on artistic purposes; the G.O.A.T. confessed his selections were carefully chosen.

“I love my man, he’s extremely talented and the music that we worked on together was hot,” he explained. “It’s just I made sure that I selected records that I felt had my voice and spoke from my heart.”

Continuing to give 50 props for his dedication to the project, LL detailed the coaching he received from him.

“I’m in there with 50 and I’m watching him and he’s writing choruses and giving me ideas for songs and telling me I should rap like this,” he added. “We sitting in there and I’m writing and he’s telling me, ‘Yo you should say it like this’.” LL went on to say that the process “was a lot of fun” and concluded by confessing 50 “got me amped up and you know once I get a battery in my back I go crazy.”

Exit 13 is currently scheduled to hit stores September 9th

It was an evening that bridged the gap between hip-hop’s past and present. From Alicia Keys and Wu-Tang Clan to Rick Ross and Kanye West to LL Cool J and Public Enemy, Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam concert, at Giant’s Stadium, was a night that saw the new school artists get schooled by the old school artists. Artist after Artist came on stage but it was LL Cool J who started the crowd up, The G.O.A.T turned it out with headsprung. The much talked about Lil Wayne turned in one of the nights worst performance’s. The crowd barely moved or swayed as he went thru his usual list of trash tracks, I think I saw a couple of 13 year olds dancing to lollipop in the corner of the stadium, but for the most part he was a big flop. Public Enemy came out and tore the stage up with fight the power. Chuck D can still hold it down with the best of them, Public Enemy had the best performace of the night, it is no wonder they are the greatest rap group of all time. Kanye west was the main event and he bombed just like Lil Wayne, he did a freestyle at the end of his set trying to get some kind of applause out of the crowd, but the back pack rapper doesnt move real hip hop heads. Overall Hiphopspy would have to say it was worth it to see the old school acts, but most of the current day acts have no stage presence and are not worth seeing under any setting.
