Phil Watts, Jr.: Now that the two-year G-Unit losing streak is over, there's another losing streak that needs to be addressed: LL Cool J's fourteen-year string of wackness. Even if you put his legendary mid-80's-to-early-90's contributions into account, it's still not enough to make the last fourteen years of his career any less wack.
Jigga went on 50's "I Get Money" remix and threw out a vague-ass line calling himself the "GOAT", causing LL to throw a massive Kanye-fit, thinking that Jigga's trying to call him out. News Flash: Jigga doesn't do "subliminal" - if he wanted to call you out, he'd call you out ("Takeover", anyone?) I guess LL is still salty over the horrible performance of his last album, which he blames on Jigga not promoting it enough.
The truth is that LL's last album received more promotion than most of the other artists currently on the Def Jam roster (promotion that Ghostface and the Roots could've used). He also complained about how he doesn't like the idea of an artist running a label, because as we all know, an artist can never get over on a label ran by another artist, right? I mean, how in the hell could a group like Outkast get anywhere in their career while being signed to a label owned by LA Reid and Babyface?
Oh, that‘s right - THEY DID GET OVER! Then there's also that Kanye guy whose album sold 1.3 million copies.
But that don't count 'cuz he's Jigga's boy, right? Yeah, so was Memphis Bleak. Any more excuses?
The real reason that LL's Todd Smith album didn't get over is simple: IT SUCKED. Just like everything else LL has done over the past fourteen years.
