The Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From The Underground

Give it up to LL Cool J. You can't say that the legendary master of ceremonies isn't putting in work. He dropped his Return of the G.O.A.T. mixtape with DJ Kay Slay a few weeks back, and he says the reception was so good, he's thinking about putting another one out. Yes, two LL street CDs in one year.

Keeping in tune with the streets, he's also made a number of guest appearances both officially (Alicia Keys' "Teenage Love Affair") and as a pleasant surprise to the artist who made the original (G-Unit's "Straight Outta Southside").

"I loved getting onstage with G-Unit the other day," Cool J told us about joining the Unit at a recent New York concert. "It was fun, crazy. The crowd, like, exploded. They went crazy. I got a lot of love for 50, and he definitely inspired me and kind of tweaked this newfound hunger that I have to keep."

Cool said that his friend Fif never hit him up directly for any advice, but he said it's not out of the realm of possibility that he inspired 50 as well.

"He may be watching me," Cool J said. "This is my 24th year. So we're in a whole different — we in two different realms. I'm definitely happy for him, excited for him. I know where he's at, he's only on his third or fourth album. My fourth album was Mama Said Knock You Out. I know what that is, when you're brand-new to the world. I just hope that he enjoys the longevity that I'm sure he'd like to enjoy as an artist."

LL's Exit 13 comes out later this year. The first official single is "Baby," featuring The-Dream.

"I made the records I felt from my heart, and I believe the people will respond to great music," he told us in May. "And I got Def Jam, the whole building, behind me. We're the new Lakers. The energy is great." ...
