LL COOL J Mocks Peers Who Only Rap About Money: “ Do You Have Nothing Else To Talk About?”

LL COOL J claims artists need to be more creative and find something other than money to rap about. 

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer slammed artists who only rap about their riches, claiming it demonstrates a lack of growth. He called out braggadocious rappers during a recent interview with Baller Alert. LL used Bob Marley as an example of an artist with a timeless catalog. According to the Hip-Hop Pioneer, Marley remains influential decades after his death because his music has a message.  Earlier this month, LL revealed he returned to square one to craft his upcoming album, THE FORCE, his first project in over a decade. He explained that crafting the album felt like “going back to the drawing board and learning how to rap again.” 

THE FORCE is set to arrive on September 6 and features Nas, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Saweetie and more.
