Around 2:30 Cool J starts kicking that truth! #dap

Last night, to commemorate Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s induction into the Grammy Hall of fame, LL, Common, Lupe, and Melle Mel rocked a remix of the classic joint “The Message”. Sidenote, Melle Mel’s mustache disturbs me.

–LL COOL J – 42 (MY HERO!!! He once nailed a chubby Nubian groupie on a backstage amplifier just before his encore.) (TRUE!!!) (LADIES LOVE COOL JAMES!!!)

(–As an actor, LL originated a new Hollywood phenomenon . . . The “Black, Incidental Character Who Survives All the Way to the End of the Horror Movie”!!! He did it as the hip, wisecracking security guard in “Halloween: H20″ and the hip, wisecracking ship cook in “Deep Blue Sea”!!!)

(–Now, black characters survive to the end of horror movies all the time, and kids today don’t realize that it wasn’t always the case. They have no appreciation for THE STRUGGLE. Rosa Parks. Frederick Douglass. LL Cool J.)

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE GOT TO SEE LL ROCK!

In addition to being nominated to be a inductee in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, LL drew 18.7 million views to his new show NCIS: Los Angeles. People hate on him but at the end of the day he reps for hip hop. Respect it.

Queens stand up! LL Cool J is up for possible election in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Kiss, LL Cool J and the Red Hot Chili Peppers could be among next year’s inductees at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

They are part of an eclectic group of 12 acts in contention for the 2010 class. Other first-time nominees include Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, The Hollies and songwriter Laura Nyro.

Some of the names on the ballot have been there before – Donna Summer, Darlene Love, ABBA, the Chantels, and the Stooges.

Only five acts make it in. The 25th annual induction ceremony is slated for March 15 in New York City. The inductees will be announced in December.

Be sure to catch LL Cool J on the new NCIS spin-off, NCIS: Los Angeles. It all starts September 22nd on CBS!!

TALKS ABOUT NEW ALBUM, LIFE WITH BEYONCE , BEEF WITH DMX AND MORE

For those that don’t know LL Cool J was the first artist to release an album on Def Jam Records. So, when the initial performer list was issued by the Hip-Hop Honors (VH1), there was no LL Cool J included.

We know they aren’t going to attempt to pull this off minus Mr. Cool J, right? There are a lotta people they need in there too, like Slick Rick, Public Enemy and Son of Baserk. Yall not up on the Son of Baserk! LETS GET IT!
