LL Cool J Decided Against Using Various Tracks With 50 For Exit 13
LL Cool J has scrapped a whole album of 50 CENT tracks because he didn’t want his new release to sound like he was copying the G-Unit mastermind. After months of working on tracks with 50 Cent, the rap veteran took only the best cuts and went solo.
He says, “I’m not releasing the album he and I were working on. I took a few songs for (new album) Exit 13 and scrapped the rest. “That’s due to the fact that I don’t think people want to hear me rhyming like 50.”

im not sure if anybody wants to hear u rhyme full stop lol… No disrespect LL is a hiphop great… But muhammed ali is a boxin great doesnt mean i would pay to see him box if he came out of retirement now…
To me LL fell off since 2004. His lyrics are trash. He should just stick to acting. LL new album gonna FLOP. Nelly new album is gonna flop too he released 5 videos aint nobody checking for him.
co-sign #1 and #2
who gives a dam.
all he can hope is to have a club banger or hot single to get some airplay for tha publishing money.
Good idea LL…because 50 cent’s name is like dog shet right now…..it stinks to high heaven.
Who’s he gonna blame after this one flops?
Good thing!!! cuz he woulda said its 50’s fault when he’s gonna flop!!!
WHO THE HECK CARES ABOUT LL. HE IS WASHED UP ANYWAY. GOOD THING FOR 50 BECAUSE NOW LL CAN ONLY BLAME THE MAN IN THE MIRROR FOR HIS FAILURE. HE SAY SHABAZZ IS MORE ATTENTIVE THAN HOVA, AINT SHIT SHABAZZ CAN DO TO MAKE US LIKE YOU.
This probably has something to do with LL’s big clothing line with SEARS. LMAO did anyone see the commercials yet. They are offering 40% off on that shit already!!
Sears wants to keep his image nice and whole some and don’t hang out with that “Gun toting gangsta Rapper 50 Cent”!!
yea thats a good move for LL becuz 50cent brand is starting to wear thin on people and he woulda got no 50 love, and all the 50 hate.
he should holla at the boy kanye, that will get him where he wanna be. and if he is a hiphop purist he’ll love kanyes creativity and sight on an LL product. that would be interesting
What the hell he do all them songs w/ him for then…I wonder who he gon blame when he brick, Hov gon now…
i love LL… he a all time favorite.. but lets be real… if T.O.S(g-unit) had sold a couple million, he would have put out the album with 50..
its all business.. used to be more but thats all it is now!
I find it funny that nobody cares about homie, I thought i was the only one that strongly disliked dude.
Cosign #1 except i think he been wack since phenomenon.
I’ve said it before, last good track was Ill Bomb, yet was still rappin’ bout jibberish.
LL is the worst. lol
Co-signin #11, Izreal! Its jus not a good move business wise and that all folks care about. It ain’t been about the music for years!
