LL Cool J Authentic Hip Hop Cover & Tracklist

Monday, November 19 2012 7:15 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

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“.

UPDATE: Tracklist via Rap-Up

1. “Something About U (FTW)”
2. “Where Ya At (BOSS)”
3. “Take It” feat. Joe
4. “Closer” feat. Monica
5. “Too Late”

    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 !!
