While The DJBooth declined to post Ratchet, the lead single off LL Cool J‘s forthcoming indie LP, we weren’t about to leave the rap veteran’s fans hanging. Nearly a year after he made his last appearance with No More, we knew it was high time to bring our readers something new from Cool James. And so did he; follow-up single Take This begins with the artist checking his watch and announcing, “Lookin’ at my rolly it’s about that time / for me to paint pictures on the walls in your mind.” Backed by The ARE‘s sultry throwback grooves, LL proceeds to showcase his undiminished talent for lyrical foreplay, dropping verses that brim with erotically-charged double-entendres. Joe complements his sensual bars with a silky R&B hook. Independent studio album Authentic Hip Hop as yet lacks a drop date but fans can, of course, keep their browsers locked for all the latest tunes and release details.

New LL sounds like he is sleepwalking through the motions of making a rap record. I want the old, tough LL. You know, the one who'd beat you up for not listening to his new single.

@DJ Z, I miss the old LL too. The new LL is decent, but after all his old work, it just seems odd. Really smooth vocals from Joe. Good to hear from these guys again.

LL Cool J is still good and everything he just feels more mainstream. Bring back "I need love" I loved that one.. This track is OK

it's not easy to follow your style over decades, especially when it's kinda mainstream. at least I think LL is doing well here.
