LL hangs his flag for the rap pioneers on the front display of his 14th album, Authentic Hip Hop. Set for a February release, Mr. Smith tells Essence:
“I’m not trying to compete with 17-year-olds on the radio, but I am talking directly to the folks who came up with me. We may not be teenagers anymore, but we do still like to have fun.”
Hopefully, the fun is more “Take It” and less “Ratchet“.

Getting arrested three times in one day? That's the shit we don't like. Getting a feature placement on Kanye West's new album is a great look—Being behind bars isn't. Haven't we seen this movie before? This Chiraq MC and trouble are synomnous. Drive slow, young homie.
The whole 2 Chainz robbery fiasco. The culprits. Tit for initially denying it and you fuck boys on the Internet who made him feel like he should. Ain't no shame in defending yourself by fists or by feet. It ain't safe in these streets.
We might be a little long in the tooth, but we still rock in the booth.
If this moves more then 10 k first week ill br suprised !! This guys nusic is ridiculous now !
Cant wait. this will e worth my money..

authentic rap minus the good rap
I just can’t do it because I want my memory of ll to be mama said knock you out, mr. Smith, g.o.a.t, radio, or phenomenon. Not this i can’t do it
It’s sad too because he is a monster on the mic when he’s pissed. Don’t believe me ? Look up the ripper strikes back. Yeh he can eat your favorite rapper alive. But ll is a calm dude he’s like Bruce banner
Funny I just recently heard another one of L’s classic called ILL BOMB which appeared on a Funkmaster Flex Album. I was Damn can you image L dropping a record like that again…..in 2012. He bodied that record!!!!! Please check it out if you forgot which record I’m talking about. YN knows what Im talking about.
@carlito that drop a bomb on em record was soooooooo tough. its def in the ll catalog in the ipod. cant be putting alot of LL in my catalog but its in there
Nice cover. Much respect to a living legend.
2 features !! Not bad for a vet !! The names of these songs got
me on edge but its not the first time with LL. Exit 13 was tight work regardless of the few missteps. We’ll see…We’ll See !!
