Welcome to Hip Hop Movie Club,
2
00:00:02,875 --> 00:00:05,083
the show that harmonizes the rhythm of hip hop
3
00:00:05,083 --> 00:00:06,833
with the magic of movies.
4
00:00:06,833 --> 00:00:10,166
Today, in celebration of the GOAT's new album, The FORCE,
5
00:00:10,166 --> 00:00:12,541
we are discussing the film and TV career
6
00:00:12,541 --> 00:00:15,000
of hip hop legend LL Cool J.
7
00:00:15,125 --> 00:00:19,083
We're three old heads who put their old heads together to vibe on these films for you.
8
00:00:19,291 --> 00:00:23,041
I'm DynoWright, podcaster, filmmaker, longtime hip hop fan,
9
00:00:23,041 --> 00:00:28,833
and there are a few more succinct lyrics in all of hip hop than LL Cool J is hard as hell.
10
00:00:31,125 --> 00:00:34,958
I'm JB, 80s and 90s nostalgia junkie, long time hip hop fan,
11
00:00:34,958 --> 00:00:42,041
and I just got back from a discussion with Daveed Diggs at Lafayette College, and he did not disappoint.
12
00:00:42,541 --> 00:00:43,541
Nice.
13
00:00:43,833 --> 00:00:47,583
I'm Boogie, a DJ, long time hip hop fan,
14
00:00:47,583 --> 00:00:53,791
and someone in my family has a recording of teenage me, lip syncing Mama Said Knock You Out.
15
00:00:53,791 --> 00:00:56,458
Skinny, bird chested and all.
16
00:00:57,541 --> 00:00:58,000
You
17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,458
Ha!
18
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:00,166
flexing for the camera.
19
00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:03,958
Okay, okay.
20
00:01:04,416 --> 00:01:05,291
All right.
21
00:01:05,291 --> 00:01:06,041
that.
22
00:01:06,208 --> 00:01:09,000
I don't know who has it, but somebody gotta have it.
23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,291
I remember we videotaped it and we watched it afterwards.
24
00:01:12,291 --> 00:01:14,041
And I don't know where it's at now.
25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,208
We got a quest now, we gotta find that.
26
00:01:19,666 --> 00:01:24,750
In this episode, we are doing a deep dive on LL Cool J's lengthy acting career.
27
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:30,875
Here are three takeaways on LL Cool J.
28
00:01:30,958 --> 00:01:35,416
Number one, he has a more broad TV and film resume than you may realize.
29
00:01:35,791 --> 00:01:38,708
Number two, he is too popular with audiences to die.
30
00:01:38,708 --> 00:01:41,000
Therefore, you don't see that in his work.
31
00:01:41,208 --> 00:01:46,083
And number three, he has become an ambassador for hip hop as well as a mentor figure
32
00:01:46,083 --> 00:01:49,291
in both music and the entertainment industry at large.
33
00:01:51,416 --> 00:01:56,416
Right, well, LL Cool J, the GOAT, self -proclaimed GOAT, and he lives up to it.
34
00:01:56,416 --> 00:02:00,750
Man, he's done so much in TV and film, more so than you may realize.
35
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:04,500
Some of the early work he's done, and we discussed this on our podcasts,
36
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:10,333
his film debut was in Krush Groove, where he performed I Can't Live Without My Radio, where he was all of
37
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:13,000
like, what, 17 or 18 years old?
38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,833
like 17.
39
00:02:13,833 --> 00:02:14,916
That's crazy.
40
00:02:14,916 --> 00:02:17,791
And I didn't realize this until we researched it again.
41
00:02:17,791 --> 00:02:23,833
And Boogie, you knew this, but he wrote the theme song for Wildcats, the Football Rap.
42
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:27,291
That's crazy.
43
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:28,208
Yep.
44
00:02:28,208 --> 00:02:31,625
And one of his other earlier films from the early 90s was playing
45
00:02:31,625 --> 00:02:35,208
Captain Patrick Zevo in the film Toys.
46
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:37,833
So he's been doing it for quite a long time.
47
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:45,083
He's gone on to just continuing to raise the bar on TV and film.
48
00:02:45,125 --> 00:02:49,125
Boogie, want to talk about some of the earlier successes he's had and some of the things that
49
00:02:49,125 --> 00:02:50,458
like resonate with you?
50
00:02:50,458 --> 00:02:54,375
We don't have to go through his entire filmography, but what are the...
51
00:02:54,375 --> 00:02:57,833
all the earlier memories that you have of LL Cool J
52
00:02:57,833 --> 00:02:59,916
and some of the highlights of his career.
53
00:02:59,958 --> 00:03:02,750
Yeah, other than, you know, the rap career
54
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:06,416
you know, his infamous battles with Kool Moe Dee,
55
00:03:06,416 --> 00:03:11,958
I mean, he had some pretty good television and film roles that other than the ones
56
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:13,458
you mentioned.
57
00:03:13,458 --> 00:03:15,208
He starred in In the House.
58
00:03:15,208 --> 00:03:17,750
That was a show that I remember.
59
00:03:17,958 --> 00:03:22,291
I didn't watch too much of because it was during the college years we had terrible reception.
60
00:03:22,583 --> 00:03:22,958
you
61
00:03:22,958 --> 00:03:25,416
definitely remember the television show being on.
62
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,541
They played the ex Oakland Raiders running back who rents part of his home
63
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:35,416
to a single mother and her children had a nice cast here, Debbie Allen and Kim Wayans, a others.
64
00:03:35,416 --> 00:03:37,083
It was a pretty good show.
65
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:41,125
Also popped up in the Halloween franchise.
66
00:03:41,125 --> 00:03:45,666
You haven't made it until you made it to a horror film franchise.
67
00:03:45,666 --> 00:03:48,750
he didn't get killed in that movie either, know, Halloween H2O.
68
00:03:48,791 --> 00:03:53,833
One of the rules that I definitely remember and that's probably because I've watched this fairly recently.
69
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:57,791
He played Preacher the chef in Deep Blue Sea,
70
00:03:57,791 --> 00:04:05,833
infamous shark attack movie where the sharks were intelligent and were swarming upon the people who were tasked with doing
71
00:04:05,833 --> 00:04:07,125
research on them.
72
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:13,000
And he didn't get taken out of that film either, but it's like, you know, this is LL.
73
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:17,708
But Any Given Sunday he had a role in that movie as well.
74
00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:25,416
I remember him in Rollerball, Deliver Us from Eva opposite Gabrielle Union, S.W.A.T.
75
00:04:25,458 --> 00:04:27,958
Those are a couple of movies that I definitely remember him from.
76
00:04:27,958 --> 00:04:32,041
One of my favorite movies, and this is also one of DynoWright's favorite movies as
well,
77
00:04:32,041 --> 00:04:36,333
Last Holiday opposite Queen Latifah.
78
00:04:36,333 --> 00:04:37,083
Great movie.
79
00:04:37,083 --> 00:04:39,458
You know, he pops up on
80
00:04:39,625 --> 00:04:43,083
Various television shows, award shows,
81
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:47,708
as mentioned in the takeaway, you know, as an ambassador for the industry.
82
00:04:47,916 --> 00:04:49,416
All around great character.
83
00:04:49,416 --> 00:04:50,500
Good guy.
84
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:55,333
Yeah, we also covered In Too Deep.
85
00:04:55,333 --> 00:04:58,666
We did an episode of In Too Deep back in 2023.
86
00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:01,416
So he has a role there.
87
00:05:01,416 --> 00:05:03,083
And again, he doesn't die.
88
00:05:03,333 --> 00:05:04,833
Yeah, he doesn't die.
89
00:05:04,833 --> 00:05:07,916
LL Cool J, aka Die Hard.
90
00:05:08,666 --> 00:05:09,791
Yeah.
91
00:05:14,208 --> 00:05:20,791
We can't forget that he was a long time, spent a long time in the NCIS or I guess this is
the JAG verse.
92
00:05:20,791 --> 00:05:27,291
And so he was in NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles and Hawaii Five-O and NCIS: Hawai'i.
93
00:05:27,291 --> 00:05:31,250
so, yes, as Sam Hanna, 14 seasons of it.
94
00:05:31,250 --> 00:05:32,041
Yeah.
95
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:33,750
Yeah, I think
96
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:34,916
in his career.
97
00:05:36,875 --> 00:05:38,750
Yeah, a lot of people would know him primarily from that.
98
00:05:38,750 --> 00:05:43,250
Like if you weren't in on his early hip hop days or even, you know,
99
00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:50,750
some of folks that just watched the crime shows were like, yeah, LL Cool J, that's what he's known for.
100
00:05:53,083 --> 00:05:53,750
For sure.
101
00:05:53,750 --> 00:05:59,791
So man, what a storied career he's had.
102
00:05:59,791 --> 00:06:02,500
TV, film, he just has that charisma.
103
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:04,958
You know, that smile, he's got the look.
104
00:06:04,958 --> 00:06:07,333
Handsome as heck, always into fitness.
105
00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:09,458
Ladies love Cool James, you know?
106
00:06:10,583 --> 00:06:11,708
Men love Cool James.
107
00:06:11,708 --> 00:06:13,333
We all love Cool James.
108
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,000
I mean, seriously.
109
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,333
He's got the total package.
110
00:06:20,791 --> 00:06:25,000
Takeaway number two was he's too popular with audiences to die, therefore you don't see that in his work.
111
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,375
I mean, there are some of these scenes in movies where it's like he has to die
112
00:06:29,375 --> 00:06:33,375
because it looks like he's shot and killed, but he just always resurfaces.
113
00:06:33,458 --> 00:06:37,125
And like you saw that in H2O when he was a security guard
114
00:06:37,125 --> 00:06:41,750
and Deep Blue Sea where like he emerges, right?
115
00:06:42,833 --> 00:06:43,958
It's crazy.
116
00:06:44,541 --> 00:06:44,916
Yeah.
117
00:06:45,208 --> 00:06:52,166
We tried to corroborate this with some actual proof that there is a clause in his contract that...
118
00:06:52,833 --> 00:06:57,750
But other people who have interviewed him have not specifically pinned this down, but
119
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:02,791
he has said in interviews that test audiences don't like him dying, so they don't do that.
120
00:07:03,708 --> 00:07:05,916
too, it's like Tom Cruise, like Tom Cruise ever dies in movies.
121
00:07:05,916 --> 00:07:06,708
He's too popular.
122
00:07:06,708 --> 00:07:08,750
Like, it's the same kind of thing.
123
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:11,125
He's got that kind of status is what we're saying.
124
00:07:13,041 --> 00:07:13,708
Yeah.
125
00:07:13,708 --> 00:07:16,791
Yeah, I think back to I'm Bad, the lyrics
126
00:07:16,791 --> 00:07:21,500
where he's like, the pinnacle, that means I reign supreme, I'm notorious, I'll crush you like a jelly bean.
127
00:07:21,625 --> 00:07:24,666
And the cops are like, I think we're gonna need backup, I think we're gonna need backup.
128
00:07:24,666 --> 00:07:28,583
He's like, you can't pin this guy, right?
129
00:07:28,583 --> 00:07:33,166
You can have a whole SWAT team, you can have a whole army, a whole militia, you won't get this guy.
130
00:07:34,208 --> 00:07:37,750
You can’t catch me ‘cause I’m too bad for you. Understand?
131
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,875
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
132
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,541
I'm too bad for ya.
133
00:07:42,541 --> 00:07:43,708
I love that.
134
00:07:45,208 --> 00:07:46,958
Aw man, I love that video.
135
00:07:47,708 --> 00:07:49,625
It’s like he spoke that into existence.
136
00:07:49,625 --> 00:07:50,875
Yeah, for sure.
137
00:07:51,666 --> 00:07:53,000
Indestructible.
138
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,416
Between being a tough guy being hyper as all heck, he bounced around in that video.
139
00:07:58,416 --> 00:07:59,833
It's like, dang.
140
00:08:03,958 --> 00:08:08,791
One thing to mention is he blends toughness with vulnerability.
141
00:08:08,791 --> 00:08:15,875
So like he has some of these sensitive, he has a sensitive nature to him as well.
142
00:08:15,875 --> 00:08:20,500
And again, it's funny, there's correlations between his hip hop as well, right?
143
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:26,000
Because that song, I Need Love, which was just an amazing ballad, like
144
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:26,791
I loved that song as a kid.
145
00:08:26,791 --> 00:08:29,208
Like I wrote the lyrics out to that.
146
00:08:29,791 --> 00:08:30,583
Yeah.
147
00:08:30,583 --> 00:08:31,291
Pretty much.
148
00:08:31,291 --> 00:08:33,333
I passed that in a note to someone.
149
00:08:33,583 --> 00:08:37,666
I was like all lyrics.
150
00:08:39,250 --> 00:08:40,458
Yep, yep.
151
00:08:40,833 --> 00:08:44,291
JB Smooth
152
00:08:44,958 --> 00:08:45,750
Yeah, yeah.
153
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,625
True story, true story.
154
00:08:48,625 --> 00:08:52,958
My cousin came stay over with us for a summer.
155
00:08:52,958 --> 00:08:56,500
I'm not going to mention the name of the cousin because in she's listening.
156
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:59,791
But one of my cousins came to stay with us and one of the neighbors
157
00:08:59,791 --> 00:09:05,500
that lived like down the street a little bit and liked her and wrote some of the lyrics down on a note and
158
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:06,916
passed it to her.
159
00:09:07,375 --> 00:09:08,041
huh.
160
00:09:08,458 --> 00:09:09,083
It would...
161
00:09:09,083 --> 00:09:13,208
she showed me the note I was reading, like, wait a minute, I know these lyrics.
162
00:09:13,541 --> 00:09:14,750
Hahaha!
163
00:09:17,625 --> 00:09:21,041
No, I didn't pass them off as my own.
164
00:09:21,541 --> 00:09:23,916
That was, that was, it was I Need Love.
165
00:09:23,916 --> 00:09:24,875
Ha ha ha ha
166
00:09:26,125 --> 00:09:26,708
yeah, right,
167
00:09:28,833 --> 00:09:33,666
I hope it wasn't that he wanted to swing an episode in his Jeep.
168
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:34,708
man.
169
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:38,625
I mean, my defense, I didn't pass off the lyrics as my own.
170
00:09:38,625 --> 00:09:43,000
I was like, you know, I Need Love by LL Cool J and these are the lyrics.
171
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,750
Just like do with it what you will.
172
00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:47,958
I cited it.
173
00:09:47,958 --> 00:09:50,041
Cite your sources, that’s good.
174
00:09:50,041 --> 00:09:52,000
No, this guy passed them off as his.
175
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:55,333
Ha ha ha ha
176
00:09:55,416 --> 00:09:56,250
Not so smooth.
177
00:09:56,541 --> 00:09:57,666
I wonder where he’s at now.
178
00:09:59,083 --> 00:10:00,333
Not with your cousin.
179
00:10:00,583 --> 00:10:01,333
No!
180
00:10:03,416 --> 00:10:04,666
It didn't work.
181
00:10:04,916 --> 00:10:06,375
He swatted that away.
182
00:10:06,875 --> 00:10:07,958
If it worked, wouldn't.
183
00:10:07,958 --> 00:10:09,416
She showed me the note because it didn't work.
184
00:10:09,416 --> 00:10:11,208
She looked at it was like, no.
185
00:10:11,208 --> 00:10:12,291
Yeah, look at this.
186
00:10:14,208 --> 00:10:15,375
It's a cornball.
187
00:10:15,375 --> 00:10:18,125
Gave him the Mutombo!
188
00:10:18,125 --> 00:10:19,166
Funny.
189
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:20,500
Wagging his finger like this.
190
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:26,708
But, but no, he definitely, he definitely made songs for the ladies.
191
00:10:26,708 --> 00:10:28,625
I mean, even Around the Way Girl,
192
00:10:28,625 --> 00:10:32,250
it was up tempo, but it was definitely a shout out to the women.
193
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:35,166
You know, something for them to show appreciation.
194
00:10:35,416 --> 00:10:38,916
That vulnerability definitely carried over to film.
195
00:10:38,916 --> 00:10:41,875
Even this character in Deliver Us from Eva,
196
00:10:41,875 --> 00:10:46,875
you know, if those who haven't seen it, – quick plot summary:
197
00:10:46,875 --> 00:10:53,833
There was a group of sisters and they were all in relationships and there was the one sister who was single, who was Eva.
198
00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:57,416
And because she was single, she was always in the other relationship,
199
00:10:57,416 --> 00:11:01,166
you know, always intermingling and annoying the guys in the relationship.
200
00:11:01,166 --> 00:11:04,125
So the guys got their friend to...
201
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000
seduce Eva to keep Eva away so that they can flourish in their relationships.
202
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,500
And the character that they brought in was the LL Cool J character who
203
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:15,625
chases Gabrielle Union's character, Eva, and falls in love with her.
204
00:11:15,625 --> 00:11:19,166
But he definitely showed a lot of vulnerability in that role.
205
00:11:19,166 --> 00:11:22,916
Very similar to how he was in Last Holiday.
206
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:24,166
Real nice guy role.
207
00:11:24,458 --> 00:11:25,791
Right, right.
208
00:11:25,791 --> 00:11:31,291
So he shows his versatility there, not only the tough guy, but also the sensitivity.
209
00:11:31,416 --> 00:11:34,083
And because of him being so well-rounded and so
210
00:11:34,083 --> 00:11:37,708
popular and so charismatic, you know, our final takeaway, he has
211
00:11:37,708 --> 00:11:41,041
become an ambassador for hip hop, as well as a mentor figure in
212
00:11:41,041 --> 00:11:44,416
both music and the entertainment industry at large.
213
00:11:44,416 --> 00:11:49,750
He's called upon to host a lot of award shows and he always knocks it out of the park.
214
00:11:50,333 --> 00:11:51,041
Absolutely.
215
00:11:51,041 --> 00:11:54,375
He has hosted the Grammys multiple times.
216
00:11:54,708 --> 00:11:59,458
First time in 1995, and then he did it straight from 2000 to 2006.
217
00:11:59,833 --> 00:12:04,291
And then in the 50 years of hip hop, the Grammys put on a special show
218
00:12:04,291 --> 00:12:10,666
to commemorate 50 years of hip hop last year, and he hosted that as well.
219
00:12:11,583 --> 00:12:15,458
He's done other award shows also, like AMAs.
220
00:12:15,458 --> 00:12:19,041
He even hosted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony once.
221
00:12:19,291 --> 00:12:21,208
Teen Choice Awards as well.
222
00:12:22,083 --> 00:12:24,625
And he's been honored himself in certain ways.
223
00:12:24,625 --> 00:12:26,583
guys want to talk about that?
224
00:12:26,583 --> 00:12:28,000
How he's been honored.
225
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,833
Yeah, he's got a Hollywood Walk of Fame star and he
226
00:12:31,833 --> 00:12:36,708
is the first rapper to receive the Kennedy Center honor in 2017.
227
00:12:37,375 --> 00:12:42,125
So I think since then only Queen Latifah has gotten that award, right?
228
00:12:42,750 --> 00:12:44,583
So rare company.
229
00:12:45,125 --> 00:12:46,041
Mm hmm.
230
00:12:46,875 --> 00:12:47,750
Yeah.
231
00:12:48,208 --> 00:12:52,291
and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
232
00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:53,958
Absolutely.
233
00:12:55,333 --> 00:13:04,208
Yeah, I mean, his role as hip hop and entertainment ambassador is just, I mean, he's very well received by his peers in hip hop.
234
00:13:04,208 --> 00:13:17,708
Primarily, most recently he started his Rock the Bells radio station on Sirius XM, where not only does he play a lot of throwback hip hop,
235
00:13:17,791 --> 00:13:23,708
But he's also brought in a lot of acts like Roxanne Shante, Flavor Flav.
236
00:13:23,708 --> 00:13:29,666
There's other rappers that his contemporaries who are now hosting shows on his station.
237
00:13:29,666 --> 00:13:34,291
And it's good to hear and it's good to listen to
238
00:13:34,291 --> 00:13:44,041
and see the appreciation that they have for him as well for trying to push the genre forward by appreciating the past.
239
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:48,083
And I mentioned I was fortunate to go to the Rock the Bells Festival last year, which was incredible.
240
00:13:48,083 --> 00:13:52,791
They do a Rock the Bells cruise as well with a lot of artists.
241
00:13:52,791 --> 00:13:54,791
I want to get to that one year.
242
00:13:54,791 --> 00:13:57,291
Yeah, me too.
243
00:13:57,291 --> 00:13:58,666
It's a whole institution.
244
00:13:58,666 --> 00:14:01,000
Rock the Bells is just enormous.
245
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:02,375
Yeah.
246
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:04,333
And it has swag too.
247
00:14:06,250 --> 00:14:08,250
I mean, the jackets are nice.
248
00:14:09,041 --> 00:14:12,500
The varsity jackets with the wool and the leather sleeves.
249
00:14:13,375 --> 00:14:14,375
Nice.
250
00:14:17,375 --> 00:14:22,708
But yeah, he's definitely a one of a kind person.

I was about to say that for the youngins.
255
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:42,000
If you have not heard LL Cool J rap, get this album.
256
