LL Cool J Announces New Album, Explains Why Jay-Z Ridiculed Him During A ‘90s Rap Battle
On Friday, LL Cool J announced his new album The FORCE, produced by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip and featuring Nas, Eminem, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Saweetie, Snoop Dogg, and more. To celebrate, the rap icon went on Charlamagne Tha God’s Out Of Context series, where he addressed the longstanding rumor that Jay-Z ridiculed him during a ‘90s rap battle.
LL Cool J said it was “bullshit” that, during the rap battle, he rapped a verse from his 1993 song “Funkadelic Relic.” Here’s what happened, according to him:
I see the guy, he’s in the club trying to flash money to get my attention and I’m looking like, okay. And then his man Sauce [Money] came up to me and was rappin’. So, I had a couple of rhymes… remember, I’m albums in now.
These are guys that ain’t had that deal. So, when I ain’t had a deal, I had a suitcase of rhymes. Now I’m albums in. Sauce said some rhymes. I said a couple of rhymes. Then I said a little bit of a song, “Ain’t No Stopping This.” A little bit. Then Jay came up rapping. I was out of rhymes, b. In no scenario was I fully loaded and ready to rhyme. If I was, I’m not exactly the first rapper that you wanna get into that shit with
So yes, did I run out of rhymes? Was I finished rapping? Abso-fucking-lutely. Was it their peanut gallery? Absolutely. But do you really wanna get into some of that shit with LL? You really want that? You dudes want those problems or it’s just a nice story to have?
