Didn't expect LL to still be so damn good.
 
Didn't expect LL to still be so damn good.

Post 2000 album (The G.O.A.T), after basically finishing the beef with Canibus, he was so busy doing NCIS and TV that he never really took his albums serious, paired up with poor beat makers and just fell off. LL works best when he does an album with one producer as executive producer doing the entire album. No surprise that he pairs with Q-Tip and looks sharp. He worked on an album produced by Dre, which is likely to be the next one. They did around 40 tracks.
 
This one isn't really a diss as far as I can tell.

Some think it is; most think it's not. I'm the latter after listening.

Still, never a bad time to post this :-

56 years old and did a 6 minute live set (with a cameo by Public Enemy) at the VMA's. His vocal projections are so good live, and he's got so much live energy and never hides behind lipsync performances. It's insane for a man that age to have that kind of breath control, and projection.
