Uh you don’t realize that’s a good thing?

Nah, she just needed sum change

Odd mindset

How is it odd?

This idea that this combination is somehow invalid because you have a dream collab that you’d rather have conjured up lol

Especially denying the potential of an LL COOL J ?? Damn near disrespectful

Comparative perspectives will always leave u disappointed

we in

Passion is so good

q tip x ll cool j. roc linked up w alc and it was decent at best no guarantee he’d make a great album w/ him and this new ll album is very good

My bad, didn’t know there were so many LL fans

ur an actual clown

Some of us aint just get into hip hop in 2011 thinking liking roc is #realhiphop

Around The Way Girl still a blassic.

he made mama said knock you out like i'm not gonna pretend he hasnt got a legit legacy. also q tip prod has got a bounce to it roc wouldnt sound as good as ll

He’s had some catchy singles that I jammed to in elementary and middle school dances but that’s about it. Nobody I grew up with or neighborhood I lived in (N&W Philly / Trenton) was bumping LL Cool J. My favorite artists and producers over the years have never mentioned him as an influence as well.

Just because someone was raised in the early Hip Hop era doesn’t mean they’re automatically handed the Rap Mt. Rushmore. LL is a businessman first, actor second, MC fourth, 20+ years removed from the game.

This is really good!

damn starting off the album with that intro and topic lets you know what's going on off rip.

already classic Tip on these first two tracks and LL is floating

Also the fact that we disrespecting one of the OG fathers of this rap s*** who helped hip-hop become mainstream in the first place is completely foul.

And I'm saying that as someone who prefers his 90s s*** than 80s stuff.

Ross always sounds so good man Crack sounding great too after all these years too. legends man

I better hear that yelling sample that tip always uses

Black Code Suite somehow sounds like golden age, we got it from here AND a whole new future thing era tip all in one

"LOUDER!!! LOUDER!!! LOUDER!!!"

I actually don’t think it’s on here 😭😭😭 which sucks because it’s such a fire late-career era tag/trademark

If you mean the one from we got it from here / combat by Danny brown etc

hold on the second verse of Black Code Suite nahh LL was FEELIN the bit lmao flowing like water

this outro TIP

The Q-Tip Stan in me gonna love this s***
