Ll Cool J recently took some more slick shots at Jay-Z. Last year, LL was going around crying that Jay didn’t push his album. In a new video, LL suggests Joe Camel was talking reckless on the I Get Money Remix. He says Jay-Z should have fell back with his verse and stuck to his “job”.

Someone tell Old Man LL Cool J no one is checkin’ for him and he can’t get street or relevant again by rockin’ some locs, a chain, and kickin it with No Cents. It’s a wrap, fall back, and leave a legend.

The video of the old man talking slick against Jay right about now

  • MEMEME

    Pretty people need to look good and shut up

  • Philly

    Jay is the dude! I grew up on LL, but the last album sucks! Toooooo much for the ladies.

  • yo

    this will be a great battle.. a lot of you young kats don’t know about L. He has been around for a minute.. don’t think for one minute that Jay will have a cake walk.. L is not called the GOAT for no reason. L wins this all day.. Besides jay won’t even answer back.. first because he know L is a legend, second jay is on a decline.. L is more hungry at this point in his career because he feels as if fans forgot where he came from.. it’s about to get real funny..haha real funny.

  • yo

    Jay needs to do his job for real. These two def. battle back in the day and of course L won. Hands down!!! and yea jay is about the same age as L. Maybe older who knows.. don’t get me wrong jay is good with the lyrics but in a battle. L got it.. LL came from an era where battles began..

    *meant to say …elder statesman*

  • beast

    @YO, YEAH LL DID BODIED JAY BACK IN THE DAY… LL BEILEVE IT OR NOT IS IN HIS MID(35, 36) 3O’S JAY IS 38!

  • yo

    no body is talking about fashion here..

  • beast

    Just to be clear: jay-z born in 1969…. LL born in 1968.. Naw, this won’t be a fashion show I like Jay alot… but LL IS LIKE A SLEEPING ELEPHANT WHEN YOU WAKE HIM HE WILL TRAMPLE EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING IN HIS WAY.. YO JAY BE EASY ON THIS ONE AND FALL BACK… AND LET SLEEPING ELEPHANTS LIE…

  • beast

    @REAL ESSENCE 1… THE G.O.A.T=== GREATEST OF ALL TIME…NOT REFERING TO HIM BEING OLD…

    ll should dress accordingly. but i believe james will eat camel… whats wit dudes takin shots at legends? i like jz better behind a desk, or rhianna

  • http://www.myspace.com/alobienduro NextTopModel

    yo beast, great analogy.

  • http://www.blackplaysandfilms.com MsOpposite

    I like LL’s songs for the ladies. I mean his name is LL which stands for “Ladies Love” Coolo J

  • Mississippi Girl

    I dont care how old LL gets, he is still FINE AS HELL! And he still has the respect of people in the industry!

  • Maya

    I mean it’s all good. I love Jay to the fullest, but him and LL goin against each other would make for a mighty hot battle. All I’m saying is that it seemed from the start that LL had problems with Jay when he was named head of Def Jam. That’s how it goes though… people hate whether u were promoted to CEO or head custodian. And yeah, Kingdom Come may have been garbage, Jay has fallen off, I’ll give you that, but Jay ain’t no punk when it comes to the lyrical. Trust.

  • Maya

    Also, I know LL was out before Jay, and he is a legend. However, Jay “takin shots at legends”? Come on now, Jay is a legend in his own right as well…He could scratch his ass and live off the INTEREST on his money for the rest of his life. Yes, “camel” has done pretty damn good for himself, I must say…

  • Mike

    LL is a legend he can say whatever he wants.

    Rap is Just like any other genre of music there’s no age limit. Nobody tells Patti LaBelle to stop singing even though she’s 60 years old. Nobody tells rockstars like Rolling stones to stop do what they love to do..etc.

  • SayIt

    Umm there both washed up thats why they going back & forth wit eachother jay said LL is 2 old 2 be rappin, when LL put out his last cd lol umm excuse jay have u forgotten ur birthdate?

    yea they were both great but both there time is up LL isnt on tha level his was back in tha day & times have changed he just didnt change wit it & jay come on the black album wht was that? he’s backwards reasonable doubt is still his best & how long ago did that drop? that point is if ur not gettin better with time if ur not lyrically progressing or u just talkin bout that same ish wit a different beat then ur time is UP!

  • Coop

    LL you had THREE VIDEOS stop blaming Jay. Of all the artist to blame Jay for bad album sales you should be the last to take that step.

  • Mike

    Halle Berry is 41 years old but nobody calls her “old”. LL Cool J is 39 years old but he’s considered old. WTF? That ish don’t make any sense.

  • VB

    jay-z already bodied dude in a battle.dame ,jaz-0 and sauce money cosigned it .ll already accepted defeat a while back

  • http://nonya.com Dito

    I grew up on LL but please keep in mind that his title as G.O.A.T is self proclaimed and not given to him by the mass public IMO

  • ko

    Oooh!!! This one is a long time comin!!! Uncle L feels like he should be runnin Def Jam bein he was the first artist they signed. I love LL but I don’t think he’s touching jigga lyrically. Ask Nas L, you don’t want it Hov.

  • ko

    Oooh!!! This one is a long time comin!!! Uncle L feels like he should be runnin Def Jam bein he was the first artist they signed. I love LL but I don’t think he’s touching jigga lyrically. Ask Nas L, you don’t want it with Hov.

  • linseu

    LL should have his own label by now…he is hating and I’m sure 50 gasing him up…

  • southside_kid

    thats trouble for jay cause it seem like ll bout to dig in him. jay can’t battle just ask nas.

  • Neekah

    What happenned to LL’s lips??? They look so thin and his mouth looks so long now.

  • hotgirl

    LL has the skills to rip Joe Camel and put him back in retirement where he should be..

  • ko

    LL this aint Kool moe dee, this aint canibus. I know L has never lost a battle but if there is any MC capable of sonnin him lyrically it is young h izzo

  • jay-z #1 fan

    Nah Jay is 37 LL is like 46,48

  • bigwoo

    all yall should fall back, ll is going to look silly with 80′s all about me flow, ll should make something relevant and then holla back, or maybe go platinum a few times first JAY GONNA MURDA ‘EM

  • nga

    last time i checked jay was washed up too. i mean lately every hit song he has he’s been on was with a female. Rihannna-Umbrella, Beyonce-Upgrade You, Amy Winehouse-Rehab remix

  • luscious_shorty

    Jay is going to smash LL, what was he thinking? jay-z # 1 fan I concur. Why he had to lick his lips about 75 times in two minutes.. Too funny, he needs to sit his behind down!

  • My Business

    LL its about time for you to slide to the side go to the old folks club and do the chacha slide and let my husband Jigga finish the unfinish business. And no they are not the same age! The last hit LL had was the jingling baby yeah go head babe.

  • TIA

    HERBALICIOUS: that is the perfect discription of LL. HE IS A BIG BLOCK OF CHEESE!! not hot anymore, he dresses like a toddler, and reeks of INSECURITY!! GO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN LL COOL J!! THE PARTY IS OVA FOR U MAN…..

    HOV: U REMAIN THE KING!!

  • My Business

    O yeah and Hov give me call Boo you know who this is!lol

  • http://whoseamerica.blogspot.com daria

    Irrelevant

  • wifey

    Don’t do it, LL. Don’t do it. I love me some LL, but just fall back, Boo. So Jay moved up? So u happened to have a weak album? You made too big of a deal out of it. You’re a legend, dude. Even legends fall…just get back to work and stop making excuses.

  • wifey

    TO ADD ONE MORE THING:

    I think this whole LL trashing Jay thing is straight haterade because he’s angry that Jay is the CEO of Def Jam. Nothing more. Nothing less. That’s just what *I* believe. LL is coming at Jay hard. He’s been in the game for a minute and he’s had poor album sales before, and I’ve NEVER seen him go at the record company like this before. This is jealousy driving LL, and it’s ugly (even though he is fine as mutha!).

  • Selenah

    LL might be an old man, but, Joe Camel is no spring chicken. Ugh, and those lops yuck. They look like an anus.

  • vabeachallday

    who is that fake ass fab five freddy interviewing L?

    blah.

  • Cool Bfrank

    LL is 39 and Jay is 37, both are equally talented in their own right.

  • Another1

    LL is a legend, but let’s keep it real. While he was licking his lips and trying to be an actor/sex symbol, Jay was building an empire and making some serious business moves. Don’t blame Jay for your lack of sales, blame your poor choice of material. A good product will sell itself.

  • Queenie

    I think they both had their days. LL was that old school hip hop. J was that fire. I caught that I’m the GOAT, not I’m waiting on my billy line in the song. That was hot. I think LL would lose to J, but they both are slippin lyrically nowadays. J does need to work on his artists more though, cuz Bleek was fire.

  • dana

    ll. WTF? lol!!! dude NOBODY was gonna buy that album anyways!! lol! he needs to grow up, and put the mic DOWN! even will smith finally called it quits!! latifah aint trying to resurrect her rap career. LET IT GO!

    p.s. SOMEBODY TELL HIM THAT ALL THAT “BLING” A.K.A. “RHINESTONES” AINT GANGSTA!!! dude will have on a rhinestone bandanna, rhinestone shirt, jeans with rhinestone accents, shiny ass shoes, AND jewelry all at the same time! LOL!!! LL, you doin too much! ha!

  • Marcia

    LL has a right to complain and he’s not the only one. Other artists have complained about Jay’s poor business skills in marketing other artists’ albums.

  • ohnoudient

    Its easy to blame Jay. Not so easy to admit you got older and ppl now aint feeling you. How long did he think licking his lips was gonna work?

  • Yes I Said It

    Why is it whenever someone comes out with a bad CD adn it flops, they wanna blame their record label?

    LL, your time has come and gone. Just keep it moving bro.

  • camcam781

    YALL SOME HATERS FOR REAL…GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO L. L. HE’S HAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

  • brittany

    BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    actually ll cool j iz older den jay………by a year

  • NubianGoddez

    Well I was going to put my two cents in but Black Friday and Yes I said it. pretty much said what I was going to say. in the words of Wrestler Kurt Angle “its true, its all true” lol LL give it up already.

  • Supreme

    LL is a Legend,Jay is Hot I would love to see a battle.

  • JillyBean819

    That lip-licking that he does was kinda cute at first. Now it just looks like a nervous habit. It bothered the hell out of me wathcing that video.

  • Notahater

    I love LL and Jay-Z. I don’t think it is cool what LL is doing by calling out Jay. LL has had a couple of records over the last few years, but he has been delivering banging cds where you could just ride and groove all th eway through. Jay-Z is the man!!! His music is good his business is good – why hate. jay-Z is being so grown up by not responding to this. They are both grown men – hell LL is married with children. If he really has a problem – he needs to call a meeting an ddiscuss it like grow up instead of insulting Jay-Z. I love LL, but let’s face it – he fell off long before Jay-Z started running things ay Def Jam!!!

  • Notahater

    i meant LL has NOT had great albums recently

  • Thaimmackulate

    I think this is actually a good battle for both of these guys. They’ve obviously had animosity since they battled before in the cypher. (I’ve heard mixed opinions about who won that battle, some say LL some say Jay-Z). They’re both two very different style of rappers and neither of them have anything to prove. They both have a number of outside interests that take away from their rap careers. I think they haven’t liked each other long before Jay came to Def Jam and that they mine as well battle it out. It’d be a real battle and not a contrived battle (see Kanye and 50). It may be just what hip-hop needs these days. LL reminds me of Roy Jones Jr. He got knocked out a few times but he’s still a great fighter and still very dangerous. And he still believes in his skills. If his career is indeed over then he mine as well go out like he came in, battling for the top spot. Either he scores the knockout or he goes out on his shield. No shame in that.

  • Traydayz

    He could still get it!! All day e’ry day!

  • Tom

    Maybe he’ll wait two years and come out with buss song like he did with Kool Mo Dee. LL has never been a lyricist, so this is kind of one-sided.

  • The Real Essence 1

    As of late neither one of them dudes have made great records. IMO Jay Z hasn’t been the same since he’s been with Beyonce- My Opinion!

    To me, JZ hasn’t been since his ‘Reasonable Doubts’ era.

  • lucky

    Idon’t know why some of yall disrespecting LL because it’s known Jay’z really don’t push the artist at def Jam but him and his own he signed.

    But in do time every dog have thier day. Jay is hot rapper but to br truthfull Rakim really is the best.

  • geezy

    First off I think lyrically LL is sick….Hov is not a battle rapper he is a “pop” rapper….Don’t forget NAS owned his ass in “Ether” he has never recovered from that if you ask me

  • beast

  • Sixpack

    I swear, these New York rappers are DELUSIONAL!

  • GYMBROWN

    He didn’t push ur album LL cause it was trash…Your blind if you don’t see he is tryin to pull his best 50 cent impression! Start a fake beef then put ur album out. LL fall back stop rappin please…it’s over…u were great for ur time but ur not a timeless artist like a rakin or ice cube…go get a chapstick endorsement deal.

  • Edouble

    Jay Z is one dimensional. He can only write about guns, money, drugs,and cars. He can not write under pressure. LL will eat him up.
