Coming Soon... LL Cool J, Lil Kim, Method Man, Jim Jones, and Krs One


"LL and Jimmy said they just recorded a song together for LL’s album, called “The 5 Borough’s is Back,” along with Lil Kim, KRS-One, and Method Man. Nice! LL said he felt that his last 3 albums were not up to par, which Im sure most agree with. But he said that for his final Def Jam album, its importantly for him to live up to the standard of his catalog. Now, of course these are promises that we’ve heard before (from every artist whose been blessed to have a long enough career where falling off is even an option). But LL definitely seems passionate about the whole thing (probably fueled by feelings of indignation, lol).
Anyways, LL also said that he’s really happy too about his release, because he negotiated to take back all of his masters (minus a 10% cut to Def Jam). Which, with a 20+ year catalog, is HUGE. Owning “Radio” and “I Need Love” and “I’m Bad”? Better than a dozen Bentleys."

If the above is true than that would be a good look for all...I highly doubt it will have an I Shot Ya feel. KRS One, Method Man, Lil Kim and Jim Jones don't really equate to Foxy Brown, Prodigy, Fat Joe and Keith Murray in my opinion. It will be interesting to hear though, hopefully Kim and KRS put it down.
