LL Cool J On “The State Of Hip Hop” (Video)

I was lamping with my cousin last weekend, and he explained the difference between grumpy rappers and bitter rappers. James Todd Smith? He’s a bitter rapper apparently. Props to Xilla.

  1. Is your claim that LL is bitter based on the content of this video? I watched the video and LL sounds extremely understated and not bitter at all while he honestly answers a question. It’s true! NY is not in the lead creatively anymore. That’s just the evolution. Doesn’t sound to bitter to me.

  3. NY will never be back in the way that it was in the 80’s obviously. It’s just a different era. I also don’t think NY is leading the way anymore and that is a huge difference that LL nailed right on the head. But I think he recognizes it’s just a change in the climate of hip-hop. NY is still fairly relevant but the glory days for NY are done.

  6. I’m just going off of the video. Obviously I think people take other circumstances to come to the conclusion that LL is bitter. But it isn’t evidenced in that 1:16 clip. Someone asked him a question and he gave a cogent answer. Re-watch the clip, he doesn’t even talk about himself. He talks about NY hip-hop and his take on the difference between it when he first started in the early 80’s and today. It seems like there’s a lot of truth to what he’s saying and I for the life of me can’t sense any bitterness in this clip.

  7. Hmmmm I’m confused. I don’t see any bitterness or grumpy response from LL in this vieo.
