Why isn’t UA-cam pushing this?!?!?!?! How long has this been out?!?!? This is what hip hop needs from none other than the perfect man to do it who is a pioneer of this rap shit!!!!
Short gave cube 0 credit even tho cube talked good about listening to shorty music & the vibes were DEF FAKE how could y'all not see that???? The acting was so superb oh I'm 36 btw (by the way) shrug ✨🤦🏾♀️☕ he says most of the viewers are under 25 (as they say) 🤔 then why are they speaking of pumping? affiliations with street credit/life? and mistresses etc. it's a mental trap to have a certain outcome in communities I can tell ice cube was very uncomfortable with a smile gotta be because lights, camera, action, there's no entertainment without a show
Too $hort and E40 so focused on the instrumentals in the background as ice cube speaks 😭😂 they really eat, breathe, live this music shit even after all these years 🔥🔥🔥
They was NOT feeling cube the two gentlemen next to him 18:51 okayed it off well guys but I spotted the shade damn lol and at 19:39 the interruption was shad tho again 20:45 RUDE ASSES WOW NO CUP FOR CUBE? SPOT THE SHADE YET? 22:01 yikes is he calling cube out??? 🤔🥂🤣
I’m so proud of LL. Honestly I didn’t think he could make this work. But he took ownership of his radio show and brand and it’s working out amazing. Kudos 🙏🏿
@@willgamer0849 snoop is shooting a movie apparently… that what was said in another interview. He is also trying to do a lot of other side hustles like Snoop Loopz and Death row so he probs too busy atm.
Born in 1991. All these dudes straight legends. I remember getting dropped off to football practice with my dad bumpin E-40. He was everybody’s favorite. Still in my top 5 all time.
LL is a good man. I happened to meet him in an elevator at a Black Newspaper convention in Chicago during the Taste Of Chicago events and asked him if he would come and also meet my fellow publishers and my parents . Not only did he follow me into our convention banquet but he met my parents at our table but also followed me around the entire banquet room and met and gave all of my fellow Black newspaper publishers handshakes and honored all of us Black newspaper publishers that evening. Ever since then my mother would always love her some LL. Thank you LL for your taking time to show us Black newspaper publishers love.
I was 7 years old (1988), my cousin came in the house with his radio playing LL Cool J I'm Bad. That was my introduction to Hip Hop. That same week he boought me the Slick Rick tape. RIP to my cousin.
Same here man. I was 7 that year to. In 1988 I listen to my first song ever happened to be the song monster mash. The following year Yo MTV raps first aired. The rest is history.
I’m 49 years young! All of these Gentlemen pulled me into writing rhymes, then actually recording my joints! Born and raised in OKC as a kid. I don’t record anymore. BUT I still write. To keep my pen and pad on point! I’m just paying homage to these OG’s! Including me. I’m still involving Oklahoma with Hip-Hop and history. Hip-Hop don’t Stop! ✌🏽❤️
@@RebelutionaryMusic No doubt brother! I got easy access to record. All free studio time, mix, master, even a dope Producer. I lost the compassion to get back in tha lab to be honest. SoundCloud, Tha Plus..

At 48, soon to be 49, I grew up with these men. All of them, including LL. Man, I am a fan and have owned multiple tapes, you heard me... tapes, cd's and mp3's of these men. Room of hip-hop/rap legends.
My maturity has made me appreciate these giants in hip hop music. I'm 52 years young and can remember when all these brothers came in the game, including LL Cool J. You gotta love it. This is crazy because as artists these men have grown, have nurtured the culture and the music, and have employed people with the use of their business sense. As a native from Brooklyn, I love the example that these brothers from Cali are laying down.
LL Cool J and Too Short...the only OG rappers that survived the Rakim Era. Rakim hit the scene like an extinction level event. No other rappers that came before him survived. That's how great Short and LL are.
I never got the hype with Too Short....His rhymes are so a-b-c, 1-2-3 simple & elementary.....Not lyrical at all. I've tried over and over to listen, but all his songs his lyrical ability SUCKS.🤷🏾♀🤷🏾♀ But I guess it's just a preference, obviously he's a Hip Hop legend, so he's stamped with that status, just never got the hype with his simplistic rhymes.
Simple but profound…don’t need to yell or grunt, no need for elaborate lyrics…$hort spitted game where a young or old person could fully understand. No extra verbage needed…
@@TheRemixstress Too Short been rapping before “Rappin Duke” duh - ha, duh-ha…When he started rapping hip hop was as easy as A-B-C, 1-2-3. Rappin Ron was my folks,and he told me that Short can get lyrical but when he makes records he sticks with his formula. When you listen to Short you have to listen for Game, not lyrics. Listen to “Paystyle” and the game he spitting to his 2nd generation of fans turned rappers. He rocked about 4 generations, in that song he was addressing the 2nd generation of rappers coming up.
Man! I was just scrolling and I saw Mount Westmore and LL, I said let me see what they talking about this is legendary and much respect for one another and to see these guys chopping it up on their careers and just having a good time talking, this took me back to when I was listening to all these guys and I had just gotten off of work love this Old School Hip Hop love you guys.
God bless everyone on the podcast. Salute to you all, who kept a brothers mind right, in the streets, at the spot,etcetera. Living legends in Hip-Hop, are priceless . Peace and blessings to you Kings, and your families.
These are the guys I grew up listening to. 30 years ago I would've never thought something like this would even exist. The knowledge they have and the ability to put it out for everyone to hear is priceless. Back in the day you had to be in the game strong to get this knowledge. I hope everyone who hears this changes you in a positive way! Peace
I still listen to all of LL Cool J's music from the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, and 2020's. He is Def Jam Recordings' first artist. Three years ago, in September 2019, it was announced that LL had re-signed to Def Jam for future album releases. His upcoming album will be produced by Q-Tip.
Just listening to all there stories is gold.... as a 45 year old myself to hear this interview was nostalgic and needed , to learn how it all started and who they listened to and why they started rapping in the way they did , this is golden.. x
This is why Hiphop back was at it's peak.. Because the rappers at this tera took time to learn their craft and appreciated the Classic musicians.. The rappers now are all on a trendy flow. All sound the same...And all the same subject.. Music back then is timeless... Music now only hits for a few weeks...
Man I’m born in 91 but I grew up listening to 70s and 80s music from Ojays to Curtis Mayfield. So naturally Too short, cube, E40, and Snoop were some of my fav musicians. Even till this day I’m still bumping them on my headphones at work. Also shoutout to LL cool J a legend interviewing other legends. Crazy moment here.
1990 here... same, first rappers I heard was snoop pac and biggie, that lead me to NWA 40 AND Short, then Run Dmc, LL, Rakim, slick Rick, krs, big L, ice t, Pun, but soon as I heard Eminem, the song infinite specifically, I was like yeah I want to rap lol I still think that song is one of the best songs ever lyrically...
An Amazing Phenomenal interview. Majesty ⭐ Ice cube⭐ Regal⭐ Shorty⭐ Royalty⭐E-40⭐ This is so Cool to listen and Gain knowledge about the culture of Hip Hop Iconic Superstar Rap Music.Great job⭐ LL Cool J ⭐⭐Dr.James Todd Smith⭐ Contiued Success and Happiness. Dr.Dixon⭐⭐⭐
I always wonder what life would be like living as an icon and being in a room together with other icons. Sometimes I feel dudes like these guys don’t really understand how legendary they are. Each bar is written and will forever be cherished by any real hip hop fanatic.
This is legendary ....these guys were in the beginning when hip hop needed identity and definition they from the real classic Time in Rap and LIFE in general...these guys are the grandfather's now....and I'm glad I was able to witness their careers as a kid admiring these guys from a far...much luv and this podcast is great
Im an educator, and for years i've seen and lived hip-hop from it's beginnings. Understanding how impactful hiphop actually is, and how it's so many ways to employ and implement the talents of human beings. STEAM and/or STEM careers in hiphop can, and does empower ANYBODY who understands the various aspects and ways in hiphop to monetize and build one's legacy. If youre an entrepreneur and have this Spirit of hiphop, like the greatness we see in this video, IT'S A million and one lessons and jewels being dropped. So many profound ways to manifest DREAMS. To produce excellence and reduce the poverty that hiphop highlights. I've seen the elements of hiphop erase racism and unify humans worldwide. The character, integrity, passion and desire to elevate one's self into thriving communities where every person is discovering ways to excel and self -improve. Hiphip is an educational tool so versatile, like a swiss army knife, that every "Boss" or "Entrepreneur" should explore the endless possibilities for personal growth and fulfillment. When Nas said "Hiphop's dead" he was articulating the fact that it was a tool being misused to kill and destroy the genius and creative gifts of many aspiring artists and the established artists that want to be relavant longer than a "lit" single or "hot" season. Hiphop is a boundless expression that can kill or heal ones soul, it just depends on how well it is utilized. Snoop, LL, Cube, 40 and Short are examples of HipHop's success... uncompromised, unapollogetic, Unwilling to perpetuate industry BS. The narrative and agenda that a lot of executives promote is selfserving. From 9 months to 99 yrs old when you absorb good hiphop its easy to jam along. The GOAT rappers must promote, protect and preserve the culture. We listeners have to reject toxic tunes and hold the reps accountable for the fabricated crap disguised as "hiphop".
There's lectures out there you just gotta look for um' or dig deep in the crates for the Hip-Hop music back in the day. I know for sure there's a good series of lectures KRS-One did that's out here on YT.
This is a dope interview! 5 Super heroes of hip hop! Z trip included ! This dude is killing the instrumental ! LL did an awesome job on the interview with these legends ! Humility!!!!!!
The magnitude of this interview with all the iconic influencers on the set is monumental! I'm greatful that LL bossed up taking the reigns of hip hop to preserve our culture/ freedom. These are the moguls (my peers) who will expand and bring order back to the industry, while The Marathon Continues!!!
Man, this is SO NECESSARY. Legends in the game talking about legendary shit. I could've easy sat here for several more hours. Nuff respect due to everyone involved with this. Salute and West Up! o7 *W*
L peace god. This Preach right here from Liberty. All respects and love for long life fam. We came up from the back of the bus going to Jackson. love to the wife and kids. Thank you for all the good times in the past. Peace
Hands-down, this was the best interview out of the ENTIRE press run! Y’all could’ve did this interview only and been completely fine! Well done! A legend vs the legends! Who better to to be interviewed by than a OG GOAT like LL? Again we’ll done! 🤝🏾 Had instrumentals playing for the artists, aka vibes. Great questions, etc..! 🤝🏾 #HipHop 🎤🐐💨 Oh yea… That Gucci jacket pressure! 🔥✂️
As a 50-plus year old man this show right here makes me proud of the time of which I grew up in. Cool j I remember you before your record deal it went to school with a friend of mine Damien story who has passed away. Anyway you was rocking at this basement party and you kicked this rum about how God bless the day Jam Master Jay stole your name and during the summers in Jamaica Queens / Hollis St Albans, Laurelton Cambria heights. You used to get around and rock the crowd and you used to eat MC's up then the next thing I knew you had a record deal. So to see you come this far and to see all of what you have done and what you are doing especially what Rock the bells and specifically what Rock the bells I just love it. I love it for hip hop. And I have been around since the beginning growing up in queensbridge, before there was a hip hop record called rappers delight.
This is super dope! Four absolute legends in one room together, showing mutual love, appreciation, recognition and respect. This is beautiful! Yo LL, it would be phenomenal if you could have Wyclef and Canibus as guests on your show. That would be crazy! I know Canibus has supreme respect and admiration for you, and all of y'all have grown a lot since those days. Can you make that happen?
People don’t give LL Cool J enough credit he’s literally the Goat 🐐
He’s the reason we all use the term “goat”. Imagine if he had trademarked the term.🤯
Uh yes we do.
❤❤❤❤❤❤he is great
To see LL show love as a fan when he's basically the Blueprint for all rappers is a great moment in hip hop!
Facts. I've heard all 40, Cube. and Short talk about LL alot in the past as an influence
The original GOAT
LL been around since the 80's and still hungry and pushing for hip hop 💯💯
Nah Rakim is the blueprint he set the trend from early 80’s!
@@12tribes61 Rakim came out after LL in the late 80s. LL is 84 on up. 1st artist on Def Jam Records. Only solo star before him was Kurtis Blow
Why isn’t UA-cam pushing this?!?!?!?! How long has this been out?!?!? This is what hip hop needs from none other than the perfect man to do it who is a pioneer of this rap shit!!!!
From the Book of Cube: 'Don't complain about what you didn't get because of the work you didn't put in'. 🔥
✅💯🔥🔥🔥
LL + Cube + Too Short + E-40 = A Hip-Hop conversation that I didn't know was needed.
Thank you!
Much Needed.
Truth.
💯

That’s how the story goes for the real 80s babies. Born in 83 thats how it all started. Big ups
Same here man. I was 7 that year to.
In 1988 I listen to my first song ever happened to be the song monster mash. The following year Yo MTV raps first aired. The rest is history.
E-40 “rapping in cursive” is the perfect way to explain his style
LL also said "off beat"
Truly appreciate it "LOVE"
""YEA"
E 40 is top 5 weak whack emcee of all times

Too short Gettin it gotta be the most inspirational slept on song
I always liked that one since '96 when it dropped. Album #10.
Favorite!
I say...."Surviving the game". However....album number 10 is still my favorite Too Short album
I'm 41 I grow up and a huge fan of all four icons!!!!
"Ain't nuthin' but a word" is still my favorite Too $hort and Ice Cube track. Probably the first song I learned verbatim. Still classic to this day!!

Unwilling to perpetuate industry BS. The narrative and agenda that a lot of executives promote is selfserving. From 9 months to 99 yrs old when you absorb good hiphop its easy to jam along. The GOAT rappers must promote, protect and preserve the culture. We listeners have to reject toxic tunes and hold the reps accountable for the fabricated crap disguised as "hiphop".
There's lectures out there you just gotta look for um' or dig deep in the crates for the Hip-Hop music back in the day. I know for sure there's a good series of lectures KRS-One did that's out here on YT.
This is a dope interview! 5 Super heroes of hip hop! Z trip included ! This dude is killing the instrumental ! LL did an awesome job on the interview with these legends ! Humility!!!!!!
The magnitude of this interview with all the iconic influencers on the set is monumental! I'm greatful that LL bossed up taking the reigns of hip hop to preserve our culture/ freedom. These are the moguls (my peers) who will expand and bring order back to the industry, while The Marathon Continues!!!

As a 50-plus year old man this show right here makes me proud of the time of which I grew up in. Cool j I remember you before your record deal it went to school with a friend of mine Damien story who has passed away. Anyway you was rocking at this basement party and you kicked this rum about how God bless the day Jam Master Jay stole your name and during the summers in Jamaica Queens / Hollis St Albans, Laurelton Cambria heights. You used to get around and rock the crowd and you used to eat MC's up then the next thing I knew you had a record deal. So to see you come this far and to see all of what you have done and what you are doing especially what Rock the bells and specifically what Rock the bells I just love it. I love it for hip hop. And I have been around since the beginning growing up in queensbridge, before there was a hip hop record called rappers delight.
Love ❤️ you LL , ICE CUBE you are the best! Snoop Dogg!!!Dr. Dre!!! You are OG!!! Best of the best!!!!
Short, Can't forget The Grouch, Souls of Mischief, Casual...
This is super dope! Four absolute legends in one room together, showing mutual love, appreciation, recognition and respect. This is beautiful!
Yo LL, it would be phenomenal if you could have Wyclef and Canibus as guests on your show. That would be crazy! I know Canibus has supreme respect and admiration for you, and all of y'all have grown a lot since those days. Can you make that happen?
A Legend interviewing Legends!!! How could you not like this?
I love all of these cats. They have me rocking and I have been a DJ for over 50 years and I still rock a party with these brothers.
These the kinda comvos I love to listen too. Not someone cutting someone off mid story.
This DJ only plays the best beats, salute to him.
This is hip hop royalty in this room.
This is so legendary in so many ways
I just love it. Much respect.
I bow down humbly in the presence of greatness. #HipHop
