(From The Force album; 2024)
Me when LL Cool J & Q-Tip's first collaboration The Force sounded like Cannibal Ox: WTF are they thinking with this weird Def Jux bollox LMAO? Where's Will High when I need him?
Me when Basquiat Energy from LL Cool J & Q-Tip's collaborative album sounds Camu Tao if he were produced by Edan: LL is the true G.O.A.T, baby! Def Jam does Def Jux is the steez I've been waiting on my entire life! MHz WHAT WHAT!!! Someone get Basquiat's old m8 Vincent Gallo to direct a video for this shit ASAP.
**EDIT** the LL & Busta track over big ole bits of Halleluwah is even better. L, Bus & Tip really Krautrocked the Bells.

Wouldn’t mind revisiting that Will High thread again, if it’s still around. ‘El-P's "Bytchass of Juxberry" boxing rules’ 🤣
ReplyDeleteSteroids? Coke? Not me. EVER. All for bitchtime cowards, like EL-P, who, IRONICALLY, has now acknowledged HIS drug problem. I guess if I looked like a pudgy, pasty, fish-faced, leprechaun faggot, I'd want to ease the pain and escape from it too. But, since you she-males are so interested, you can read the real story on the Philaflava messageboards. Look around 6/2/09.

5. I didn't just suddenly punch this kid from behind. He approached me
ReplyDeleteearlier on in a corner with this little dude named Cryptic and they tried to
punk me out. When they failed to do so and I threatened them with bludgeoningand assrape, they bounced. Still, I was incensed that these two she-males tried to do that, so, since Vordul was the mouthpiece, I saw him later, and, still enraged, I called him a she-male or whatever. He tried to smile me off and sahsay away from me, so, I punched him in the head as he was walking away from me. Sucker punch? I guess, technically. I mean, you really WOULD have to be a sucker to sleep on a dude like me when I am threatening to assrape you. I guess, by El-P's "Bytchass of Juxberry" boxing rules, I should have sent a singing telegram accompanied by a cordial ambassador bearing a gilded invite on an immaculate velvet pillow before I duffed this fukking howler monkey out. He stepped to ME earlier in the night AND I threatned him 2 seconds before I punhced him. The way those ***gits made it
sound, I turned the lights off in the bar and silently repelled down from the
ceiling to attack him on some Soldier of Fortune/Black Ops type shyt.
Sad I missed this era of rap forums. Was too young to appreciate. Reads like a modern day Shakespeare play.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity MGP chickened out when Will High offered to fight him IRL.
ReplyDeleteDid LL set out to make an album that sounded like it had been ghostwritten by 14 other acts?
ReplyDeleteLL's My Rhyme Ain't Done is a pioneering track in the abstract Rap canon.
ReplyDeleteLL proves he's still got it by sounding exactly like other people. He cements his GOAT status by sharing almost every track with somebody else who peaked before the current generation of rap fans were even born.
ReplyDeleteNope, he doesn't sound or rhyme like anyone else other than LL Cool J on these two songs. Basquiat Energy just ends up being an accidental Def Jam/Def Jux hybrid in the best way possible.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I like the song with Eminem
ReplyDeleteEminem's fast multis 🤮
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't Q-Tip have got on there instead?
The thing I’m really confused about is how did Saweetie end up on an LL album.
ReplyDelete😄 yeah, I was like WTF? when I first saw that song. Maybe he's a big fan of Fast (Motion) too?
ReplyDeleteI dunno where I heard that Kane might have wrote murdergram and a few others so I spent ages listening to him with theat in mind and can conclusively say I've never heard anyone say the whacky shit LL says nor the way he says it.
ReplyDeleteNot even sure he wrote them run DMC songs that ppl have been just stating as fact since forever
The only LL ghostwriter things I know is that Ad-Rock gave him a few lines in I Need A Beat and 50 wrote the chorus for Paradise.
ReplyDeleteSnoop Dogg wrote the LL Cool J song "Zoom."
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt LL wrote everything on his new album. It's still pointedly derivative.
Nah, even on the songs I don't like he still sounds like nobody other than himself.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think Snoop wrote LL's verse on Zoom. Snoop was on the original unreleased version.

ReplyDeleteNot bad.
ReplyDeleteWut I thought adrock just did the beat?
ReplyDeleteI read some LL interview where he said Ad-Rock contributed a few lines too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow v cool.
ReplyDeleteYou seen LLs sample youtube show W Greg nice? It's sick, like it'll have z-trip looping up the sample n Greg n LL freestyle on it or talk shit or L will rap the entirety of a prodigy verse or something
I haven't. That actually does sound sick. Will peep.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. LL's accidental Cannibal Faux song has grown on me. Big time.
ReplyDeleteId happily replace every podcast there is with various rappers doing this

Ah man, that is great.
