I have the unpopular opinion that aside from a couple specific songs I’ve been lukewarm to every LL Cool J album later than Radio (which was such a banger), but this is so eyebrow-raisingly off the path of what I tend to expect from LL Cool J that I had to post here.

I literally came blind to this new album, and just before hitting play I thought - well unfortunately I can predict I’m not going to get any hard social commentary like from dead prez or etc…

30 secs later it felt like that thought had personally offended him. Track 1 no less.
