LL Cool J Still Won’t Accept Failure
alt

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.

The man who signed the Wu and Mobb Deep, declares that his new artist Asher Roth’s Asleep In The Bread Aisle will bear the Loud logo and will enter an elite class: The Top 5 Albums That Have Changed Hip-Hop.

N.W.A Straight Outta Compton

Public Enemy It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Wu-Tang Clan Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers

Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP

Where’s does all this put Deeper Than Rap (which still hasn’t leaked. Ugh!)?

4-20, y’all.

thinking now.”
