Podcast appearances and mentions of LL Cool J

What does it actually take to stay relevant for four decades without losing your soul? Before he was a hip-hop icon, LL Cool J was just a kid riding mini bikes and dreaming big. Decades later, he joins Trevor and Eugene to reflect on the wild journey—sharing unforgettable encounters with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, the family values that kept him grounded, and why true reinvention requires dropping your ego. Plus, LL breaks down why intuition is God's voice, why cynicism is just cowardice in disguise, and how he turned his grandfather's belief into his legendary debut album, Radio.

In this episode, I am joined by Cordell for an Interesting hip-hop conversation. It all started in the group chat with who had the worst verse on LL Cool J‘s classic song 4321. We then got into a whole conversation about whether Method Man is as good as us older HipHop fans say he is etc. Then we got into an overall discussion about styles back in the 90s and looking at them through a 2026 lens. Great hip-hop talks with Cordell as usual.

What if one line about a microphone tattoo changed hip-hop history forever? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, hosts D and 12Kyle break down the legendary feud between LL Cool J and Canibus. We examine how a subtle line on the posse track "4, 3, 2, 1" sparked one of rap's most notorious battles, leading to Canibus' explosive "Second Round Knockout" featuring Mike Tyson and LL Cool J's relentless response on "The Ripper Strikes Back". In this episode, we unpack how LL Cool J's territorial ego and studio edits created the rift, whether LL "sneaked" Canibus to re-energize his own GOAT-status career, why Can-I-Bus fell flat despite massive battle momentum and Wyclef Jean's production, and broader hip-hop topics including Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse, MC Hammer's cultural impact, and rap industry conspiracy theories.

Entertainment executive, producer, and entrepreneur Mona Scott-Young joins the R&B Money Podcast for a conversation about her journey from the music business to building one of the most successful franchises in reality television. Mona takes us back to her years working alongside at Violator Management, helping navigate the careers of artists including Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, and LL Cool J, and shares what she learned about artist management during one of hip-hop and R&B’s most influential eras. She also breaks down the transition from music executive to television producer, the creation and evolution of Love & Hip Hop, and how she turned an idea centered around the women behind hip-hop artists into a franchise that changed reality television.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this powerful, unfiltered conversation, Ian Von sits down with songwriter, drummer, and producer Raymond Calhoun – the man who wrote one of the most enduring R&B records of all time, “Outstanding” by The Gap Band. Raymond breaks down: - How he hustled from DC churches to The Manhattans, Peaches & Herb, and eventually to The Gap Band. - The exact story of how “Outstanding” was written in his living room, inspired by his young daughter… and finished in the bathroom.- How he played nearly every instrument on the original recording. - The battles over credit, publishing, and money that followed – including mis-spelled credits, blocked royalties, and decades of unpaid publishing. - How he eventually reclaimed his U.S. copyright and why “God is real” in his journey. Along the way, he shares road stories, production history, friendships with legends (Quincy Jones, Anita Baker, Tito Jackson, M'tume & Reggie Lucas, Russell Simmons, LL Cool J, SWV's Brian Morgan, and more), and the emotional cost and reward of having your very first song become a certified R&B classic.This is essential listening for musicians, songwriters, music historians, and anyone who loves the stories behind the records.

If you want to talk about legends, look no further than the one and only LL Cool J. As one of the first rappers to reach commercial success, LL Cool J paved the way for the next generation, inspiring huge artists like Eminem and Fat Joe. But his journey to success was far from easy. In this Great Moment, LL Cool J shares why he believes making music was his calling and the importance of creating the role models he never had when he was younger.

It's football season, so let's get back into the locker room and slap each other with towels. We're covering Oliver Stone's ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.

Episode #604: “I chose hip hop.” Born in Yangon in 1979 to parents who were nationally known singers, Anegga grew up in a household where art was both celebrated and watched. His father had helped introduce rock music to Myanmar during an earlier era of military control, and supporting opposition politics carried real risk. He remembers military visits to the family home at night and his mother having to hide because of her involvement with the NLD. Music, in other words, was never insulated from power. Hip hop entered his life through scarcity. Myanmar at the time was largely cut off from international media, English-language books, and commercial music distribution. He encountered rap through English-language radio broadcasts, especially VOA, and was drawn first to sound rather than meaning. He did not initially understand most of the lyrics he heard from artists like LL Cool J, Nas, or Biggie, but he studied cadence, breath control, rhyme structure, and delivery. Hip hop became a way of accessing a vocabulary of frustration that felt familiar even if the geography was different. He often explains that while Myanmar did not have American-style ghettos, it lived under a different form of systemic deprivation, one that shaped the whole country rather than particular neighborhoods. In 2000, he co-founded ACID and released what is considered to be Myanmar's first hip hop album. The impact was immediate among young people; at the same time, every release required navigating censorship committees, submitting written lyrics in advance, altering phrasing to avoid rejection, and sometimes facing arbitrary refusals from broadcast authorities even after formal approval. The system did not operate transparently; it operated through unpredictability. Although he has consistently argued that ACID did not begin as an explicitly political group, interpretation often exceeded intention. Songs meant as expressions of loyalty or social observation were read by audiences as indirect political commentary. That ambiguity narrowed after 2007, when the Saffron Revolution led to arrests of band members, including Zayar Thaw. Over time, Anegga moved from coded expression to open political engagement, releasing explicitly political songs, supporting the NLD, and distributing banned political literature discreetly among students. His political involvement was also shaped by family history and long-standing loyalty to Aung San Suu Kyi. After the 2021 coup, the separation between music and politics disappeared entirely. Zayar Thaw, who had moved from hip hop into parliament, joined the resistance and was executed by the military in 2022, an act that underscored how thoroughly the country had reversed course. Anegga left Myanmar soon after and now lives in Thailand as an urban refugee, separated from his family and uncertain about permanent resettlement.

This week on Termagant Talk, Goodie and Shantel are all over the cultural map, exactly where they belong. They kick things off doubling down on why LL Cool J is NOT the most important rapper of all time, then talk Jadakiss and The LOX, the lost art of reading out loud, Gen X childhood survival skills, and somehow end up debating whether Fast & Furious deserves a place among the greatest movie franchises ever.Then things get spicy. Remy Ma has bars for Clarissa Shields, and the ladies unpack the Papoose of it all, from relationships and public embarrassment to why a world-class athlete should never let a man become the center of her story. They also get into Joe Budden, Biggie's estate, and finally stumble into their next mission: Nas vs. Biggie, everything through 1997. Illmatic. It Was Written. Ready to Die. Life After Death. Features, flows, storytelling, humor, writing, impact. They're doing the knowledge.Because apparently even hip-hop debates have divine timing.#TermagantTalk #HipHop #RemyMa #ClarissaShields #Papoose #Nas #Biggie #Jadakiss #TheLOX #LLCoolJ #HipHopCulture #WomenInHipHop

This week on Termagant Talk, Goodie and Shantel celebrate 53 years of hip hop by taking a journey through the culture that shaped them. From their earliest memories of Rapper's Delight, Hot Tracks, and Soul Train to the Golden Era, the shiny suit era, and today's resurgence of lyrical hip hop, they reflect on the music, artists, and moments that defined generations.The conversation explores the evolution of hip hop, the rise of adult contemporary rap, the importance of preserving the culture through documentaries and new art forms, and why women have always been an essential part of hip hop's story. They also tackle LL Cool J's claim that he's the most important rapper of all time, sparking a passionate debate about legacy, influence, and whether it's even possible to crown the greatest while we're still in the time.Join us for another unfiltered conversation where hip hop is more than music. It's history, culture, and community.#TermagantTalk #HipHop53 #HipHopPodcast #GoldenEra #LLCoolJ #Nas #KRSOne #RunDMC #HipHopCulture #BlackCulture #Podcast

Mark survived his first episode, so naturally he came back for another.This time, Brad kicked things off with a travel story that somehow involved a near-missed flight, a greasy Bojangles biscuit that stained his shorts, and enough airport anxiety to make MTD's "arrive four hours early" philosophy sound completely reasonable. Then they reviewed Halloween H20.Except... they refused to call it Halloween H20.Within minutes the movie had been permanently renamed Halloween Water, because apparently someone in Hollywood thought using the chemical formula for water was cooler than calling it Halloween 20 Years Later. Brad wasn't buying it.Instead of discussing the plot, the guys immediately started pitching better movies.What if Michael Myers went camping?What if Michael Myers took a road trip across America?What if Michael Myers stopped at Buc-ee's to carve brisket?What if he worked the carving station wearing a hairnet while still carrying the same knife he'd been using for twenty years?All of those somehow sounded more entertaining than the actual movie.Then came the question nobody at the studio apparently asked:How does Michael Myers get from Illinois to California?This is before GPS.Did he have an atlas?Did he stop at a gas station and ask for directions?Did he kill people just to pay for fuel?Did he spend the night at a Motel 6?These are the mysteries Movie Torture asks because Hollywood refuses to.The movie itself didn't escape the criticism either.Brad couldn't figure out why Michael Myers suddenly decides not to kill people he normally would.Mark questioned how Laurie Strode somehow became the head of a private school after faking her identity.Neither of them understood why the school supposedly had hundreds of students but only about six people ever appear on screen.By the halfway point they'd also discussed Kevin Williamson, Dawson's Creek, Josh Hartnett's permanently messy hair, LL Cool J's career, Rocky, The Muppet Show, and whether Michael Myers secretly wakes up every October 31st like a bear coming out of hibernation thinking, "Guess it's time to go find Laurie again."Somewhere in there they did eventually talk about Halloween Water.Not much.But enough to conclude that twenty years of waiting somehow produced a movie where the funniest part wasn't Michael Myers......it was imagining him asking a stranger for directions to California.

Interview Date: August 2nd, 2026Episode Summary:In this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Menina Fortunato sits down with legendary B-boy, choreographer, creative producer, and three-time World Champion Ivan “Flipz” Velez for a conversation about building a career that lasts.Ivan shares his journey from discovering breaking and pursuing his passion in New York to becoming a professional dancer, touring internationally, working across major dance films, performing at the Olympics, and eventually expanding his career into choreography, casting, producing, stunt work, and motion capture.Beyond the credits, Ivan gets candid about the qualities that have sustained his career: professionalism, humility, kindness, preparation, persistence, and being willing to help others. He explains why being the most talented dancer in the room isn't enough and how reputation, relationships, representation, and consistently showing up prepared can create opportunities for decades.The conversation also explores agents, managers, publicists, personal branding, social media, and the importance of putting yourself and your work out into the world—even before you feel completely ready. Ivan reminds dancers that their individual talent deserves to be seen and that there is room for everyone to succeed.During the mentee Q&A, Ivan shares lessons from decades in breaking, including resilience, humility, navigating injuries, and continuing to evolve. His story is a powerful example of how dance can become the vehicle to an entire career in entertainment when artists refuse to limit themselves to a single title.Shownotes:00:00 — Meet legendary B-boy Ivan “Flipz” Velez08:31 — Chasing breaking's roots all the way to NYC09:25 — Betting on himself before booking Honey24:40 — Reflecting on decades of unforgettable career milestones26:43 — Why helping others can shape your career30:20 — Professionalism becomes the secret to career longevity31:02 — Staying humble when someone is always better40:16 — How representation helped protect and elevate him44:31 — Building the agent-manager-publicist dream team48:56 — Understanding publicity as an investment in yourself54:38 — Put yourself out there before you're ready1:13:00 — What breaking taught Ivan about life1:14:43 — The physical sacrifices behind a breaking career1:16:25 — Passion and persistence through major injuries1:23:37 — Commit, execute, and never limit your possibilitiesBiography:Ivan “Flipz” Velez is a host, choreographer, creative producer, three-time World Champion, and renowned B-boy who began his career as a dancer and stunt performer.Throughout his career, Ivan has toured the world with top international music icons and acted and danced in major dance films spanning the past two decades. He is also the founder of the internationally recognized Skill Methodz Crew, one of the most elite and legendary B-boy crews in the world.Ivan continues to act in film and on stage while performing and creating across commercial projects. His infectious positive energy, endless creativity, and commitment to excellence have established him as more than an exceptional performer—he has become a trusted collaborator and creative force across entertainment.Having built his career around his unique style, inventiveness, and out-of-the-box thinking, Ivan has carried that same creativity behind the camera, expanding his work into choreography, casting, and producing.“See the INVISIBLE… can do the IMPOSSIBLE.” — Ivan “Flipz” Velezhttps://www.instagram.com/ivanflipzvelez?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=2i6wdlr5gitiWebsite: https://www.ivan-flipz-velez.com/

Before the culture had a mainstream stage, one man in Queens pointed a camera at the streets and hit record. This week on The Trend with Justin A. Williams, I sit down with the legendary Ralph "Uncle Ralph" McDaniels — DJ, VJ, director, archivist, and the co-creator of Video Music Box, the first television show in the world built for hip-hop, and still the longest-running music video program ever made.Since 1983, Ralph has been the eye behind the culture. He put Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, and LL Cool J on screen before the world knew their names, directed over 400 music videos, co-produced films like Juice, and quietly built an archive of more than 20,000 hours of footage that amounts to a living record of hip-hop history. He even coined the on-air shout-out. If you grew up on New York rap, you grew up on Ralph — whether you knew it or not.We get into the origin of Video Music Box, what it took to document a movement in real time, the ascent of AI usage and why Ralph believes the pioneers themselves need to be the ones teaching the culture. This is a conversation about vision, preservation, and building something that outlasts you.Tap in. You're watching the blueprint.#Trend with us

This week on Termagant Talk, Goodie and Shantel celebrate a New York summer that's giving main character energy. From LeBron's rumored New York move and Carmelo Anthony's next chapter to Cardi B's latest snippet, they unpack the headlines through a distinctly New York lens.The conversation shifts to hip hop politics as they break down the 38 Spesh vs. Jadakiss situation, debate rap etiquette, discuss Jim Jones, masculinity, and whether hospitality has disappeared from the culture. They also revisit the era of Bobby Brown, LL Cool J, Chuckii Booker, and the kind of lover-boy energy today's artists seem to be missing.To close things out, they preview Netflix's Love Is Blind: New York, recommend Jadakiss' Two Jews & Two Black Dudes Review the Movies, and ask the question that matters most: What happened to New York romance?Join us for another unfiltered conversation where hip hop is more than music. It's history, culture, and community.#TermagantTalk #HipHopPodcast #NewYorkCulture #Jadakiss #CardiB #JimJones #LoveIsBlind #LLCoolJ #BobbyBrown #ChuckiiBooker #BlackCulture #Podcast

FUNKY DRUMMER In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we unpack the story behind one of the most influential recordings in modern music: James Brown's Funky Drummer. Recorded in 1969 and released in 1970, the track features Clyde Stubblefield's legendary 20‑second improvised drum break — a groove that went on to be sampled in more than 2,000 songs across hip‑hop, pop, rock, dance, and electronic music. Across two hours, we trace how this single drum loop became hip‑hop's heartbeat, powering tracks by Public Enemy, LL Cool J, and De La Soul, before crossing into pop and rock via artists like George Michael, Fine Young Cannibals and Kylie Minogue.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. Since we are in the middle of the summer, we're dedicating this week to a popular subgenre of films that often come out this time of year, killer shark movies. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Deep Blue Sea” from 1999 starring Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Rapaport & LL Cool J.

Episode 071: They say you can't keep a good artist down, and this week we are proving it with a deep dive into the art of the comeback. We kick things off with the definitive hip-hop masterclass in returning with vengeance from LL Cool J, before shifting gears into the loyal, unified punk spirit of Rancid. We then pivot to the stark, haunting weight of Johnny Cash's late-career reinvention, transition into the loud, glorious theatricality of Tenacious D, and dive into the explosive, high-energy return of The Hives. We close out the set by letting Gloria Gaynor belt out the ultimate anthem of resilience that reminds us exactly why staying in the game is the sweetest victory of all. It's a six-track exploration of reclamation, endurance, and pure sonic rebirth.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site

The duo catch up after a long hiatus, they talk Missy Elliot headlining her own tour. Usher doing a residency in Las Vegas and summer concerts. LL Cool J's new album "The Force" at the top of his pinnacle. Snoop Dogg dropping a plethora of work that carries his career.

This week on the Action Movie Guys Podcast, Alex and Nate revisit S.W.A.T. (2003), the action-packed remake starring Colin Farrell, Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, and LL Cool J. After years away from the film, the guys jump back into the tactical action to see if this early-2000s blockbuster still has what it takes.From intense shootouts and memorable one-liners to the all-star cast and adrenaline-fueled finale, Alex and Nate break down what still works, what doesn't, and whether S.W.A.T. deserves more love from action movie fans.

In June 1987, mainstream media outlets still dismissed hip-hop as a "fad"—a passing novelty expected to burn out like disco. On the streets of New York, the culture was alive and thriving, but it belonged entirely to the collective. Multi-man crews, legendary DJs, and massive block parties ruled the underground scene. Hip-hop was fundamentally a team sport where rappers traded microphones to keep crowds moving. Then, a 19-year-old kid from Queens stepped up to a solo microphone, tilted his Kangol hat, and permanently changed the musical landscape. In this episode of The You Gotta Laugh Podcast I break down the exact four minutes of LL COOL J's legendary track, "I'm Bad." We explore how this single release shattered traditional industry rules to birth the archetype of the modern, ultra-confident solo rap icon.

Summer 2026 is here, which means we're going to be obnoxiously thematic for a while. So dive in with us today as we revisit the 90's shark thriller, DEEP BLUE SEA. Was it nostalgia that drew us to this one, or is it just a really fun time? Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us.

This is our last episode of Haunted Homebodies Season 2, and man do we go out with a BANG...or is that the sound of poor Stellan Skarsgard's one-armed body being used as a battering ram by a shark? If that sentence doesn't tell you enough about the film we're covering today, just know we also talk about the incredibly bad science, non-stop anxiety-inducing underwater action scenes, something known as a “shark wrangler”, and also LL Cool J. All in all, it's a great time, and a perfect send off for the season.Links for Today's Episode:Join the Homebodies:Subscribe to Our Substack!Watch Full Video Episodes on YouTube!Credits:Podcast Art: Lunch City StudioMusic: Goosebumps by Veace D Get full access to Haunted Homebodies Podcast at hauntedhomebodies.substack.com/subscribe
