KMOB1003 RADIO NEWS – Hip-hop legend LL Cool J just dropped some bombshell news that’s got the music world buzzing! In a recent interview, LL revealed that he has unreleased music with none other than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Yep, you read that right—two legends on one track, and it’s still sitting in the vaults! While LL didn’t dive too deep into the details, he hinted that the collaboration, recorded years ago, is something special. “The vibe was incredible, man,” LL said. “It’s something that’ll blow people’s minds if it ever sees the light of day.”
But that wasn’t all LL had to say. The rap icon also opened up about a topic that’s close to his heart—ageism in hip-hop. As one of the pioneers of the genre, LL Cool J believes that hip-hop needs to do better at respecting its OGs. “Rock stars can be legends for life, but in hip-hop, it’s like people expect you to hang it up after a certain age,” LL explained. “That’s gotta change. The culture should embrace longevity and respect the contributions of those who paved the way.”
LL’s push to fight ageism comes at a time when older artists are often sidelined, despite their massive influence on the genre. LL, who’s still rocking stages and releasing new music, wants to see more respect given to the pioneers of hip-hop, making sure they get their flowers while they’re still here. “You don’t just stop being great because you’ve been in the game for a while,” LL said passionately. “We should be celebrating our veterans, not pushing them aside.”
With his legendary career, LL Cool J is the perfect voice to lead this charge. And with that unreleased MJ music in his back pocket, it’s clear LL still has plenty of surprises left for the culture.
