LL Cool J Gets Help From 50 Cent on New LP

Bad move, in my opinion but i guess 50 can sell records so i don't know...

Damn l........ I hope its ill lyrically]and not filled wit non sense, but ima try to keep an open mind and see wut it does.

Once again someone wanna take a ride on 50 d*ck. First freeway had 50 take part in making his album and now ll. I dont know wats going on, but next thing you know 50 will be executive producer for the whole def jam if he keeps at this rate.

Diplomatsboi toy stfu!!! this dude fifty is one of the best songwriters out and thats why he got an award from his peers twice for that so the industry recognizes fiftys talent as a great songwriter!!...thats why errybody tryna get down. Either get down with the unit or get rolled over and ll made a wise choice. So before you open your mouth, if its not to suck off the diplomats learn something before you speak. If its the unit its money.

Wow why the hostility] its not needed every one is entitled to thier opinion. 50 recieved song writer of the yr-it means nothing if all you writing is trash, filled with ignorance, and has no sord of upliftment at all.

Who are you to judge what music has upliftment and what doesnt....some of fiftys songs are very uplifting. But he's a gangsta rapper if you want uplifting music listen to kirk franklin

Southside thats what ìt is,see ll got respect for 50 and i belive 50 for ll as money makers and music makers,just a jamaica queens thing.

Dang ll recently said that he's tired of seeing obscenity in music and half dressed women in videos and then he (a guy known for doing just that)works with a guy who is also known for both...i'm just saying it's kinda sorry of him to go against his own recent words 50 is gonna run the well dry...maybe he figured he only had but so much time to really shine and now he's just using borrowed time and doing everything to make as much as he can out of it....people are gonna get sick of him doing everything all the time...he's gonna get played out

In my opinion..... They are both from queens and they are both very successful with thier careers.... It was bound to happen. And__ universal imprint owns def jam and interscope records now...so they're all the same family after the mergers. Smart move on both parties. On the business side: it seems ceo: la reid, president: shawn carter and artist: todd james smith admire the soundscan numbers or artist: curtis "interscope" jackson. And ceo: jimmy iovine and exec\ manager: chris lighty admire the longevity of "ll cool j" .... This 50 cent\ll cool j song could be bigger than the jay z\nas collabo. I like this idea. Gonna be an intersting summer for ny. 1! righteous stand up

Who am i?! a hip hop fan. If i cant critize the music in the culture wheter good or bad]then why bother engage my self in the culture] since wen is it a crime to critize artist or certain elemnts with in the culture]

Wtf r u talking listen to kirk franklin]you sound like a jack ass.... Because hes a gangsta rapper its cool to make ignorant or trashy music huh? i guess ur coo wit having dumbed -down rap apart of the culture]the reflects the itelligence of the artist and the fans. Rap can be educational, hard, fun,and creative]why does it have to be one way]

Eh idk about this one..

I knew eventually ll would get tired of spitting that soft shyt. Cats havent been taking him serious for a while, eventho ll goes at least gold out the gate im sure he wants to tear the skin off these new cats azzez. Good move, i will dayem sure be listening out for the goat.

Hopefully ll's quality will rub off on 50.

Who caaaaaaaaaaaaaares, man. Nuff respect to ll cuz he is a "legend", but son is done. Has been for a while now. No one cares.

Damn.....i been waitin 4 50 n ll 2 get at each otha on a professional level like this,50 n ll spellz trouble but ppl not feelin ll no more cause he old skool,well u not hip hop in my eyez if u ain't feelin ll n 50 tha king of tha rap game so them 2 2getha would be somethin 2 watch 4

The 1st single will be a #1 hit, so he can't go wrong with that. This is something different, & it should be good.

Ll used to be hard now all he does is bubble gum soft lovey dovey sh*t....maybe getting with 50 will wake him up!

Y'all need to back down on 50 man- the guy sells records! a 50 an ll collaboration will be a positive thing for hip-hop guys......

A postive thing for hip hop is some creativity, balance, and lyrics of susbstance.

Sustance

This is just to try and make money. Its way disappointing because that nonsense about him and 50 being similar is garbage. Ll's gonna go from my favorite of all time to..well..not my favorite if he gets too nuts w/ the g-unit crap. Its bad enough mobb deep is w/ them. I'm gonna hang myself if i start hearing ll going "ggggggg g-unit".

I've already heard 3 remixes ll has w/g-unit & ll sounds straight outta place. Ll is done, sibling. He can fall back now. He did his part, but now..........get ya movie loot, pass ya torch, & get ya cardio on, pimp crumbs.

Figures it wouldnt sound right....... Is fifty the go to guy for cre8ting a buzz and/or make some of that pop money]

Agree with sair they both 4rom qeens,,so they might be feel each others!!!

Let's do it togheter, 50 cent is on da top now, we gotta collaborate. Ll cool j, don't listen to no fake ass mother F*cker that talkin sh*t about dat, there is an haitian proverb that says:"jete'w kote dlo a koule pi fre"translation get yourself through da fresh water, ggggggggggg-unit

Yeah i think this will be a good look for 50 producing this album......... Plus llcool j will get 2 go out on top because i didn't like how jay-z did the todd smith lp he barely even marketed

Yea a great look...... Hey maybe we can have a few collabos with the ying yang twins]im kinda of itching for wait to they see my tip part 2. Or perhaps a banger from d4l shake ya jolly rancha?!

Lord hav mercy...i really admired ll...now wit 50...iz hard to...hopefully he dusnt go to g-unit

Dayem when cats say 50 cent they get all pissed as if 50= vanilla ice/mc hammer/tone loc/da afros or something.crazy. Other cats have done some odd ball shyt and get by with it when 50 gets treated like he phucked the game up. Rza did "horror core" nobody says shyt about that, pac did "digital underground" nobody says shyt about that, ll did "pink cookies in a plastic bag....gittin crushed by buildings" nobody said shyt about that, twister was "tounge twister" lmao on some lolipop shyt, nobody says shyt. Nas gets on a video dancing with ginuwine, but hes the "god emcee" smh. Whut "dumb" shyt has 50 done? the man puts out hits/mixtape bangers/sells millions mainstream/clothes/games/everything under da sun. But somehow hes lame and trash?

Cuz duke was on a beach prancing around in g-unit tank tops talking bout[i wanna be ya lover] duke talk smack bout ja rule]but be singing hooks and in his songs] hes songs have simular themes candy shop[magic stick[pimp] hes made a living off gettin shot 9 times--that was his marketing tool[not his lyrical ability]but the fact he got clapped up in jamaica 9 times[hes career is filled with gimmicks, exploits, and str8 pop sh*t.but hey its the american way.

To say 50 gave the game nothing but pop shyt is crazy. All those mixtapes he put out "before" the shady thang went down. The power of the dollar. Dawg was grinding. If he would have kept up with tha grimy sounding shyt who would he be? m.o.p. ? mobb deep? thats like saying ll is allll bubble gum. The cat had some offical bangers too. But cats notice the licking lips shyt more than him ending careers of anyone stoooopid enuff to cross paths with him. When your in the "business" of selling music you have to do just that...."sell it". All the offical cats anyone trys to sign or call up from the minors will play by a whole different rule book when he has to "sell" to keep the lights on and the rent paid. As if leaders of the new skool wasnt bubble gum, a tribe called quest, err'body in the game who has a name has to bring it. Your gonna hear jigga on "girls girls girls" then its gonna be that hard as stone azz brother whos gonna spark up a ruckus about it. Shyt whats wrong with "god gave me style"? "21 questions"? candy shop? shyt thats some real shyt to me. I guess he has to be on some 24-7 lyrical moster tip. Or some "new york" shyt with the sample riddled cd. Its pop music...yanno. As in pop'ular. Whuts wrong with that?

And as far as the "singing hooks" thang. Call me crazy, but i see a huge difference in singing to a melody and riding the track (otherwise all hooks would sound like lil jon did em) and what ja' was doing. I mean..."whut would i beee witoutttt youuuuuuu!!!" thats singing, or attempting to sing like he did on the "rainy dayz" song wit mary j. Or like what nelly did with that country dude...i mean fa'real. But ive been called crazy before.

Naw cense.how about a memphis bleek joint called "lucky".or the jungle brothers with "belly dancin dina" part 2.you dont have to come down here to find garbage."stay in your own lane."

My biggest thing is there no balance ne more]the party, pop, gangsta sh*t is too rampid]its too much every one sounds the same]come on i know theres a business aspect]but at the end its an art form]one built form creativity, energy, and fun]now its so corporate]its good that hip hop sucessful]but its bad cuz many of the roots and fundementals are forgotton.

Tru...but if hip hop is a billion dollar business there is gonna be a cat whos gonna go and get that money. And for the cats who love the art form, they will go to poetry club and slam for free. Thats balance.lol

Fck rappin for the love!there's money in this sht now. Why need a second job.

50 gettin richer and richer

F*ck the love]r u serious]n*ggaz be postin any thing] money is important]but the love is equally or if not more important]cuz if u aint it for the love][why u doin it for]and most n*ggaz chase the money]that they never really see]theres a time and place for everything]cant all be about one thing]life is a balancing act!

Man ll cool j is doin his thing wit 50 that gonna be hot .. Ll cool j better do some songs wit all the g unit members .. G unit for life blackwallstreet is dead

You're right once again.niccas do post some crazy sht on here.you are notorious for that. Rappin is a job.get that through your fuccin head b.its time to break up your little cipher and get some of that money out there.name 1 rapper thats not trying to get a deal.if he was content with just loving the game.......you can reflect on the past all you want dun. We got the present & the future.

Ahh..learn something right quick from an artist. The love is developed early. Yanno. Thats how cats get good. Because they love the game. You wouldnt progress at all if you had "no" love. Whut would drive you. But you cant pay your bills wit love. Shyt look at the landlord and say hey i love you man. I dont know whut yall think but our "goal" is to be the best we could be, and the "reward" is to be paid for it. Everyone doesnt have passion or drive for whut they do so they prolly wont get paid or last. An artist can have passion drawing cartoons figures whutever. But if he cant pay the bills doing that shyt hes gonna go into advertising...and the artist will be asked to make drawings for customers, to sell....if he doesnt want to do it...hell whos gonna be mad at him? go into business for yourself and do whut you want to do, prolly wouldnt make as much as with a major corp. Hell whutevers whutever i dont think cats understand the business at all.

Fa'sho! that early love goes without saying.i mean, you need that to master your craft.but,all along your main goal should be to become finacially stable."the world is very different now."

Your already there then. 100 percent.

Damn n*gga i guess hes that strapped for cash that he has to F*ck wit 50... I rember when todd smith was F*ck*n wit joey crack and kept it streeet .. Now dis n*gga sold out

Ll can do what the F*ck he wants, u haters!!! 50 is just producing his record that is all/ he worked with aloot of different producers and that is what he does so chill and just listen to the sh*t!!

Ll do good with anything peeps just hate on him. He tries to keep his promise that he made to his grandmother and u n*ggas trip. He do what he use to do and get grimmy underground and yall trippin. His peers know what the deal is.

I feel like this could be really bad, or be a radio hit. I'm just thinkin of last summer when 50 joined mobbdeep on the outta control remix track, which was pretty hot. But who knows now, 50 has gone downhill, but will we get that club banger with coolj on the track? wait and find out...

Ll dude that ain't a smart move man 50 is fake the whole g-unit is fake (game killed them all) i really see this as a flop cause everubody knows the truth bout g-unit black wallstreet for life g-unit is dead

Keep on making cds with ll cool j 50 cent and ll cool j make a good team

Ll you make me sad. Leave 50, before you make me sadder

Smart move on both parts...ll gets revived from the reigning king of hip hop, 50 cent, the realist n*gga out now.........g-unit is the realist they lyrically end careers (ja pu, joe fat, jada kiss ass n snitch, the lame,etc)

Yo..i cant lie the freeze (remix) is bangin, true..but c'mon face it g-unit groupies..yall wuz talkin that banks gon sell big and game gon flop and look what happend homie!!!so face it-g-unit is over..black wall 4 life..juice is the sh!t so dont say dat wack wall sh!t cuz yall retarded..u think dat hot rod & banks sh!t is hot??c'mon man..like hova sayd ''men lie, women lie, numbers dont'' so shut your mouth

This was a bad move for ll cuz he has made rap history already why go get an hot head like 50 to do some work with why not find someone thats real and have something real to say.

Gggg-unit 4 ever

My whole thing is, if im gonna spend 15 bucks to buy your album so you can feed your kids, you better put your heart and soul in that album. If not get a second job, why do you think everyone downloading songs today, because these new rappers out now thats just in it for the money are garbage, only people that dont know anything about great music buy these albums, ill support common, mop, saigon, pap, and even 50 cent when he came back on the scene 4 yrs ago, they all was goin hard, now all you hear on the radio and mtv/bet are these garbage azz songs, make me wanna go murda the dj..

The ll and 50 collab seems like a good look, but he gon flop runnin to 50 just like everyone else is doing on g-unit, his last album wasnt even marketed good, so there is nothing for him to go off of for the small attention spans of the younger generation. I give him 2 months to get his ishh together...... Good luck

Fiddy cent is just the best in the game as far as making best selling albums is concerned. Of course that has a lot to do with em and dres backing, but the man is really talented. I mean even with dre and em behind you, it aint easy to make a platinum selling album. And fiddy has sold s**t loads. Its just like he said "im a bonafide hustler". He dont care wtf hes selling as long as it sells. And comin outa the hood i dont blame him, that he goes the extra mile. Thats what makes him so successful. By the time hes out of the game hell have made an album with most of the top artists in the game. Hes already signed so many to g unit records. These guys are not on fiddys d**k man, fiddys the one who put em there and is makin money of o them as if they were his b*****s and hes their p.i.m.p. With ll cool j added to his contingent its like an army man. There aint no stopping this guy. And i dont blame him for drivin round in b proof cars and havin bodyguards, after being shot nine times and surviving, everyone with that kinda money would do the same. A true g is always scared and aware that s**t could go down anytime, otherwise hes just stupid coz he thinks hes invincible. And he dont give a f what the ppl think bout the way he got rich, fact is he risked his life for it and thats the mark of a g. He dont care, if it wasnt the rap game hed be on the block or doing something else tryin to make the paper. Lls album will be just another streotype g unit record thing with hard beats and remixed old rhymes

Ll cool j is the greatest of all time the true g.o.a.t of rap music he never makes sh*t records he has plenty of rap flows and him and 50 cent shud be a reall gd collab on the new album thet both use various creative stlyes.ll is right for dissin jayz on the todd smith album by not promoting it properly nd ll cool i s a more true rapstar than jay z anyday i gurantee there is not another rapper out there who can drop 12 albums with numerous great hip hop records ll cool j =true legend

Ll has classics going back a decade he has managed to reinvent himself into a ladies man and is still lyrically nasty wit it. In the game these days this is necissary to continue your success as a mc. Generation changes as time changes. Even though i'm not feeln' the soft version he has been portraying for the past couple years. Hopefully now the ll an unit combination will deliver. An yes ll is contridicting himself but who cares bring da music.

Listen to ll and think over if he really needs 50 ll is raw enough himself

What the hell you doin ll, leave 50 you dont need him

Ll you're a legend, the one and only ll cool j, why the h-ll r u teaming with 50? you don't need him. You're in a class all on you're own, leave 50 off to the side, you pave the way

Yo fu*k u all except 50

Ll has no other choice 50 is the last resort for him. Hopefully he will do better then mobb deep did with 50. I hope 50 slaps the p*ssy out of him

50 is not good in many ways......but he can definetly make some bad ass beats, especially w/ ll cool j rappin over them. I dont give a sh*t, as much as i dont like 50, this album will be tha sh*t!

All yall jus nedd to put tha sh*t 2 rest who cares! all 50 n ll konew iz they makin mad moneuy n do u think all tha stuff yall say bout him iz hurtin him hell nall 50 iz rich he dont have 2 work anotha day in his life n*gga he iz worth millions of buck but i guess mo money mo problems n*ggas out there hatin on him cause he keep thre sh*t real n dont hold nothing in 4 nobody speaek his mind sh*t i guess thats how queens n*ggas live ya dig !
