What did LL Cool J Say About His Album?

This intriguing song offers a glimpse into the aural world that Q-Tip has created for the future album in addition to showcasing LL Cool J’s skill with words.

LL Cool J’s influence on the music industry is sure to be renewed with the release of The Force and the prospect of a full album, reiterating his position as a pioneer in the hip-hop genre. LL Cool J initially chose Dr. Dre to serve as executive producer of his upcoming album before switching to Q-Tip after having a dream in which he encountered Phife Dawg.

The choice of LL Cool J’s latest album’s executive producer was ultimately made by the universe. In a recent appearance on the iHeartRadio program Way Up With Angela Yee, the legendary Queens-born rapper said that Dr. Dre was first chosen to manage the album before choosing Q-Tip instead.

LL explained:

“So, the real story is that I did about 30 to 40 songs with Dr. Dre and in doing those songs I felt like — the music was amazing what Dre was bringing to the table was super dope — but I felt like the writing, what I was bringing to these songs didn’t feel strong enough to me.”

He continued:

“I didn’t feel like I was expressing, I was getting out of me, what I was feeling. In my mind, I didn’t feel like it was written properly.”
