LL Cool J

Right.

And that's not because the catalog isn't worth something, but it's because, okay, they're trying to get paid from their catalog, and right now the record companies, I feel like, are working, and this is my conspiracy theory of mine, are working directly with the DSPs to say, okay, until we can make sure that this doesn't actually belong to them, and we can make sure that we're getting our cut we're just going to take it completely off of uh anything so you cannot you you literally can't stream salt and pepper's music and there's weird stuff going on with a lot of different um artists right now like you know you can't you can't stream any of LL Cool J's music before 14 Shots of the Dome which is a problem because that is an album I don't want no 14 Shots of the Dome is not I'm talking about the ones that preceded that album so you know if you if I'm trying to introduce somebody to LL Cool J And I'm like, yo, you need to check out LL Cool J.

And then the first album they see is 14 Shots of the Dome.

And they'll be like, why would you tell me about this mother****? And I know that's not going to help me get unblocked on LL Cool J's Twitter.

But I'm just saying that there are so many things that are tied up as far as ownership, as far as who has the right to do what and stream what and where the money goes.

It is bothersome.

They paid their brother after that.

They paid him.

It's hard to do that now.

Yeah, it used to kind of break me when I started finding, when I got older and started finding out the samples, like doing it by LL Cool J. I did not know that was a Grace Jones song.

And I was like, man, track masters are some geniuses.

This is an insane song.

Lamont asked a question.

He said, if you went to a legend show, would you want to hear their new stuff or the old stuff you love at a concert? Would you want to hear Kanye new stuff or old stuff? I think Kanye is different because I think Kanye, his new stuff is still good, but I definitely wouldn't want to hear like the Jesus is King album, you know, or the, the, the yay album, you know? So personally, I would love to hear the older Kanye stuff, but most of Kanye's fans, like we talked about in the podcast before are younger and they probably want to hear like post Yeezus type stuff, which is newer.

Personally, I want to hear the older, but if I went to anybody else's concerts, like let's say I went to fucking LL Cool J and, I don't want to hear him play anything off his new album, man.

I don't care how fire it is.

Are

they going to do the LL Cool J thing every time?

No,

they're doing the, what's it called?

So I'll make this long story short.

So Jamie Foxx and LL Cool J had a scene together.

And Jamie kept on hitting LL in the ear.

And LL said, stop doing that.

They had a song on the Kingdom Come album.

The movie Kingdom Come with LL Cool J, Whoopi Goldberg and all of them.

Were they on the Waiting to Exhale album?

It was Kingdom Come.

But my favorite is all about the Benjamins.

Also, Anaconda, because he don't die, even though they tried to get that credit to LL Cool J for being the first black person that don't die.

But Anaconda, my dad Hella didn't die, and he killed a snake.

Jennifer Lopez blew him up,

Fall Jamie Foxx.

Like,

but I got a bone to pick with LL because when I did me and my dad gave Kendrick Lamar the Grammy for best rap album one year and this nigga LL Cool J this is my only time at the Grammys this nigga LL Cool J said give it up for Ice Cube and OJ Jackson Jr I remember that and I remember thinking it's not me Do I go out? Do I go out? That's not my name.

That's not my name.

Again, I got to be...

LL Cool J, but in real life, you know, when he plays in CIS.

That's

just amazing.
