LL Cool J Still Won't Accept Failure

LL Cool J’s E! True Hollywood Story airs tmw tax day at 10 pm EST and on it, The Real Uncle L still points the finger at L.A. Reid’s house for his last CD being a coaster.
“The record just really
honestly, you know, didn’t have that support that I wish it would have
had. [I] can’t blame anyone. It was my last record, and I guess for
whatever reason, whether it was quality or business, you know, the
company just decided that they were going to write it off and not
really give it that shot.”
They gave it a shot. They put it out. It sucked. It didn’t hit. They pulled the plug. Life after Jay-Z? Same result Todd. Cue up *Man in The Mirror* and listen closely. This is for your own concern.
Props: HipHopDX





Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.

I am an LL fan. I grew up on that dude. And quite honestly, the three records he put out before exit 13 were way better. I honestly think record right before exit 13 was slept on. But exit 13 was not good. Get back to that “boom bap” original rap LL. Leave that new, produced by the Dream, bullshit alone. It’s all radio singles type shit homey.
L’s statement leads credibility to Jay Z’s tenure at Def Jam. Also, the single, mixtape joints LL was putting out with 50 were way hotter than the joints on exit 13. That type of real hip hop sound is what is going to stand the test of time.
L.A. will be gone when the trends change and the cycle is over. L.A. Reid really sucks. He’s not a champion of hip hop by any means.
