Speaker:

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

00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,875

Listen to it repeatedly.
