LL Cool J: Reveals Real Story About Battle Against Jay-Z
Recently, LL Cool J cleared the air about what really happened when he battled Jay-Z at a NYC club years ago.
LL said, “Okay let’s talk about what it really is. First of all, I didn’t rap a verse from Funkadelic Relic.’ Okay? That’s the first f**king thing. It’s bullsh*t. It’s not true. What did
happen, though, is I see the guy, he’s in the club trying to flash money to get my attention and I’m looking like, okay. And then his man Sauce [Money] came up to me and
was rappin.'”
He continued, “So, I had a couple of rhymes… remember, I’m albums in now.”
He added, “You know, these are guys that ain’t had that deal. So, when I ain’t had a deal, I had a suitcase of rhymes. Now I’m albums in. Sauce said some rhymes. I said
a couple of rhymes. Then I said a little bit of a song, ‘Ain’t No Stopping This.’ A little bit. Then Jay came up rapping. I was out of rhymes, b. In no scenario was I fully
loaded and ready to rhyme. If I was, I’m not exactly the first rapper that you wanna get into that sh*t with.”
LL continued, “So yes, did I run out of rhymes? Was I finished rapping? Abso-f**king-lutely. Was it their peanut gallery? Absolutely. But do you really wanna get into some
of that sh*t with LL? You really want that? You dudes want those problems or it’s just a nice story to have?”
