LL Cool J performs on day three at Lollapalooza in Grant Park on Saturday, in Chicago. There is also a carefully curated marketplace on Rock The Bells dedicated to buy limited-edition products synonymous with the classic hip-hop era. All nine were hand-selected by LL Cool J to receive ownership in Rock The Bells brand. Rock The Bells - paying homage to the name of one of LL Cool J’s biggest hits - targets the Gen X fans of classic hip-hop through a website that features written and video content from the legends of hip-hop such as Big Daddy Kane, Run DMC, Eric B, Salt-N-Pepa, Fab 5 Freddy, Risk, Crazy Legs, Roxanne Shanté and Jonathan Mannion. The singer, actor, husband and father of four is coming off the launch of his Rock The Bells brand this week. I think none of us are perfect we are all a work in progress, but at least morally sound to a certain extent.” LL’s latest venture “I think we not only have to be financially sound as a country we have to be morally sound, you know. Yes, everybody who is part of the market would be over the moon, but if the morale was lower than it has ever been, it's still not right. But I think things will get better,” LL Cool J says.Īnd LL Cool J himself offered up his own wakeup call to investors (who have sent the stock market back near record highs) - respect what’s happening out there on the streets.

And I think it can be pushed back over in the corner where it belongs and ultimately destroyed. I don’t think racism will ever totally go away, but I think it can be controlled. And so, I think ultimately we are one step closer to solving this problem. “I think people said hey wait a minute, you guys are really treating these people bad. LL Cool J adds the video served as a wakeup call to the country that racism still very much exists and needs to be addressed more strongly.

I think that was the catalyst - I think that really just was a turning point for the globe,” LL Cool J says. He didn’t move or resist in that eight minutes and 46 seconds, no debate. This was the first time that there was no debate, right. And you know, they should because it’s wrong. And I feel like that small malignant group of racists are getting more and more marginalized you know, by global chemotherapy. “I just feel like the world, a lot of people - the majority of people - are on the right side of history. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, the 52-year-old music mogul - born James Todd Smith - explains the rap simply reflects his feelings right now. LL Cool J drops the mic by adding, “Black lives matter, forever.” Instead of letting blood live, they begging for blood let.” In America’s mirror, all she sees is regret.

“A garden of evil with no seeds of respect.

“For 400 years, you had your knees on our necks,” LL Cool J belted out to his 2.1 million followers, referencing the graphic video of a white police officer in Minnesota murdering George Floyd via a knee on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Grinding away on the last minute details of a major brand launch didn’t stop hip-hop icon LL Cool J from capturing the outrage of the nation on racial injustice in one two minute-plus freestyle rap on his Instagram account May 31.
