If you haven't heard by now LL Cool J is truly one mad rapper. One of the found fathers of Hip-Hop isnt too pleased with Def Jams disrespect towards him and his fellow rappers projects as of late. Check out his rant in recent interview below.

“These guys fail to realize that when you talk about Def Jam, you’re talking about my legacy. Everything that ever happened at Def Jam is my legacy. Without me being a 16-year-old with my rhyme book, Def Jam [wouldn’t] exist. …I didn’t personally attack anyone [on ‘Queens’], but at the same time I have the right to speak on something I helped build…

“Things are not all rosy up there [at Def Jam]. Too many [artists] have suffered: Method Man, Redman, the Roots, Fabolous, Ludacris! The list goes on. Nobody is getting promoted the way they should be promoted. I’m one man. I can’t battle a whole record label. So we not gonna try to turn this into what it’s not. To try and battle a record label is foolish. It’s bad enough they are calling around to radio stations telling them not to play my records.”

“This is my last record on Def Jam, so it’s important that the record is not just another record… it’s gonna be a great reminder to people that I really did start that company with Russell [Simmons] and Rick Rubin and Heidi Smith, the secretary… I’ma deliver [what] I’m supposed to deliver and I’m not gonna ignore my male fans this time. I’m gonna embrace everybody. It’s gonna be real. I’mma be blunt, brutally honest, be frank, speak with clarity, and they gonna feel me.”

I have to agree with the man. He's got a legitimate argument.
