LL Cool J’s Old “Cool” Teams With 50 Cent’s New School
by admin ·
LL Cool J recently announced he’ll be collaborating with 50 Cent in a case of old school teaming up with new school. Fiddy’s scheduled to executive produce L’s next set, Todd Smith, Part 2: Back to Cool.
LL told MTV why he decided to work with the rapper also known as Curtis Jackson.
“It’s my last Def Jam record so I wanted to make it something special and something really unique and kinda get back to my roots a little bit,” he said. “50 reminds me a lot of the things that I used to do and the places I used to be in my life, and I think we can have a good time together.”
50 made an appearance on the remix of L’s “Freeze,” and, according to MTV, they’re in negotiations as far as how much 50 will work on the album as a rapper.
As of today, it is unclear which of the ripped rappers will have the more defined six-pack.
DMX fans, if there is such a thing anymore, are in for a whopping dose of the dog-loving ruff ryding emcee when BET debuts his reality show “DMX: Soul of a Man”Wednesday, July 12th.
Now that the almighty Roots are officially with Def Jam, some major sh*t should be jumping off. Look for their next CD, Game Theory, to break the rules on August 29th. The ever-eloquent ?uestlove (pronounced Questlove for y’all who don’t know) has always been the mouthpiece for the group, but even more so recently. Earlier this year, he confirmed the tone of this new set will be edgier than any of their previous eight albums, saying it will be “very mature, very serious, very dark.”
