In a recent interview inside our DJBooth, LL Cool J declared that, despite his 24-year career, he hasn’t found it difficult to transition between each decade’s changing trends. Nonetheless, to prove to his early fans that he hasn’t fallen off, the Farmers Boulevard, Queens veteran lets listeners know You Better Watch Me. Somebody please check this man’s refrigerator for anything but Red Bull cans— Full of energy, LL’s flow is similar to hyped-up old-school emcees Canibus and Kool Moe Dee. Legendary producer Marley Marl (see Mama Said Knock You Out and Around The Way Girl) turns the synths up on the board to give the track a sound very similar to last year’s 50 Cent hit, I Get Money. Mr. Smith’s newest album, Exit 13, will be available in stores and online September 9.
Damn Burmy, I was waiting to say that this song sounded exactly like 50 Cent's "I Get Money" and then I read your blurb and you stole my thought LOL! Way to stay on top of your game though. This track is definetely a throwback LL kind of flow with a hard beat. I like it. Don't know how much success it would have as a second single but I think this is the approach LL needs to take with the new album. Beat bangs hard and his hyper flow gets me amped up. I always love a track with energy, this has it.
I like this song alot. LL is cocky like 50 but he has done well in the 3 decades he's been around. Ive bought his past three albums, and Todd Smith wasnt that good so i hope this CD is better. Still this song is a banger
I get money! Money I got! I just turned 24 on the 18th this man been doin this my entire life, and still manages to look younger than me. This is a hot track the beat is good. I think L put his all into this project. I look forward to the finished project.
LL has that classic flow, but it seems like he's trying to pull that respect out of us and it's kind of pitiful. This joint is pretty hot though. Marley Marl always puts it down on the production tip. He's a veteran just like Cool James. I would play this again. It bangs.
haha I like it! this beat is tight gets me pumped up and he brings it hard with his lyrics and his flow is as always legit. I can feel this beat in the club!
I like the beat but damn why not call this "i get money part 2" and LL sounds serious as hell...I like this joint though but there's not way LL is gonna sell as many albums as he did in the 80's and 90's no matter what direction he goes in (ol' g or mr. lover)
LL told me he threw out full albums when he finally put together the track listing for Exit 13. When I hear this song, I cannot help but think this was a holdout from the previous batch of 50 Cent influenced material (and I am not saying that just because of the beat similarity to I Get Money.) The flow is harder (like 50 used to spit) and the over vibe of the record (to me) scream G-Unit. Thoughts?
Yea Z it's def a kind of sped up G-Unit type of feel, kind of that "Straight Outta Southside" type of record. I also think this record screams out Swizzy.
Well at the beginning I thought this was ok but annoying...now I like it! It's different but catchy and energic! I think it will be a success in the clubs, it's kinda innovative
ok now I no i probably said dis b4 but LL is supa sexy! I no he's twice my twice my age but he's still hot! Ok now to the song...love it. Got the NY flow 2 it! HOTTTTT!
God..i cant stop listenin to this...
ohh yh djbooth..Ll got a new joint with 50.."Feel My Heart BEAT"..its like a laid back 90's joint..really good..
You should feature that song
Sorry I'm still bitter about buying his album Headsprung and it not having 1 listenable track other then well headsprung..... Mama Said give me my money back...
